'bench player'? :huh:

You know when a player dunks and the players on the bench start jumping? I'm saying this is the first dunk that made me as hype as one of those players.

'Twan vs. Kobe

December 6th, 2000

The Arena in Oakland

Oakland, CA

Boxscore: GSW vs LAL 125-122 F/OT

 

Antawn JAMISON*: 51 points, 13 rebounds, 8 assists, 2 steals, 1 block, 21-29 FG, (2-7 3-Pt)*.

Kobe BRYANT: 51 points, 8 assists, 7 rebounds, 2 steals, 1 block, 18-35 FG, (2-7 3-Pt).

 

*First Warrior to score 50+ pts in two straight games since Wilt Chamberlain.

 

Kobe was coming off a hot streak at the age of 21, scoring 3 straight 35+ point games coming off a 36 point game. The next game was the 2nd of a back to back, where the would go to Oakland to meet Golden State and their hot scorer - Antawn Jamison. Jamison came off a 51 point game against the Sonics.

 

In the beginning of the game, Kobe Bryant and Antawn Jamison both got off to great starts shooting at a high percentage. Kobe played consistently aggressive throughout the 2nd, 3rd and 4th quarters while Jamison would get many easy baskets in transition. However, the Lakers made a mental breakdown when a 104-94 lead would evaporate into a 107-107 tie. It would go down to a last second play.

 

This was another example of one of those games where Kobe gets doubled off the ball forcing him into a wild 28 foot three. Even at a young age of 21, Kobe was already feared by opposing teams. Can 82games.com's complete bogus claim of 7-33 and 15-55 on game winning shots, while calling him a ballhog for it, say otherwise? No. Which is why numbers like those will always be misleading(And Kobe has 10 GW's from 03-04 to 05-06, 24 GW's in his lifetime).

 

Ultimately, in overtime Kobe missed on another very tough 35-foot jumpshot leading to a Warriors win 125-122
