Kobe Bryant Has ‘Zero’ Thoughts About Rethinking Retirement After 31-Point Game
He is behind Bryant, the Oklahoma City Thunder’s Kevin Durant, the Los Angeles Clippers’ Blake Griffin and the San Antonio Spurs’ Kawhi Leonard.

“You have to be realistic about what we’re facing: where we are as a team, as an organization”, Bryant responded when asked how he’s smiling through the losses-24 losses in 29 games to be exact.
The 37-year-old Bryant re-gathered the ball, and cut inside. It was an ugly game and while the entire Lakers team did not play great, Bryant may have been the worst of them all, according to Sports Illustrated. “And I don’t see any debate in that”.
But the Thunder went on a 40-4 run to humiliate the Lakers and turn a competitive game into a laugher.
In the past, Bryant wore an nearly angry expression from start to finish, a sign of his ferocious competitive drive.
Scott has seen a more relaxed Bryant since announcing his retirement.
“It’s the competition”, he said. I’m pretty sure they’re not going to be very happy (Friday). “That back-and-forth at that level, it’s fun”.
“Zero (chance)”, he said.
“I didn’t do anything”, he said. “It felt good to be able to do that”. That’s the type of stuff that I’ll miss – the competition. “I take on those challenges, man, and me and him are great friends, but he’s the same way I am between those lines”. Maybe one player will win it one year, an other will win it the next year and then kind of go back and forth. And that’s just how it is. “We’re all different players, you know what I mean?” So there’s no sense in yelling at it.”BUZZER BEATERS 1″. In just 26 minutes, Bryant gave Houston 27 points on just 15 shots with only one turnover and five rebounds. “The reality is that’s not going to happen”, he said. “I don’t want to be looked at as a softie”. As it’s always been for the Lakers, it’s about him, and the rest simply have to adjust.
Bryant also defended Thunders star Kevin Durant, though he posted 21 points on an efficient 7-of-9 clip. Because you could do everything right.
Bryant leads the National Basketball Association and Western Conference with 719,235 votes, while LeBron James leads the Eastern Conference with 357,937 votes. Considering he mentioned players who were infants during the Kennedy, Reagan, and George H.W. Bush administrations, it’s quite a wide swatch – a testimonial to Bryant’s longevity. I wish I had a chance to guard Russell [Westbrook] a little bit tonight, because those are the things that I’ll miss.
Now Bryant turns his attention to one final Christmas showcase, a stage that typically hasn’t gone well for him.
