And to think Bryant’s final road game will be April 11 at Oklahoma City, assuming he’s still standing. Russell Westbrook leads in assists with 9.4 and in steals with 2.4 per game.
Norway says 60 tons of raw uranium transported to Iran
Although it did not produce any breakthrough deals or decisions, it did confirm the strength of the current Iran-Russia alignment. In August, Moscow and Tehran agreed that Iran’s excess low-enriched uranium will be exchanged for natural uranium.
Bryant seemed resigned to being on a team with so much youth and so few victories. The reality is that the Lakers aren’t going to suddenly start winning games this year: “You can train a cat all you want to bark; the damn cat’s not going to bark”. “There’s no sense in yelling at it”.
The 17-time All-Star, who announced last month that this season will be his final one in his storied 20-year career, received 719,235 votes in results released Friday by the league.
The Lakers trailed by 21 at one point. Bryant took on hot-shooting guard Will Barton and held him to two points in the second half to help the Lakers overcome a double-digit deficit.
It is not his fault that he is not surrounded by talent like he once was, nor is it his fault that he is getting older and just cannot perform at the same level that he once could.
Westbrook, Durant and Ibaka sat out the fourth quarter.

Instead, he spoke glowingly about Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook and spoke in no uncertain terms about his team not being able to.
After Brooklyn, Bryant played 36 minutes and recorded a near triple-double with 17 points, nine assists and eight rebounds to beat Detroit for LA’s second win of the season.
“That type of stuff is the stuff that I’ll miss”. That 118-78 embarrassment was the Lakers’ worst loss to the Oklahoma City/Seattle franchise. But at this time last Christmas, James was ahead of Curry – so there is time for both Curry and James to catch the Laker legend. But the third quarter was one of the most lopsided that I can remember with the Thunder scoring 22 unanswered points to begin the second half. In the first quarter he converted a four-point play when he was fouled on a 3-pointer and hit the free throw, drawing loud cheers.
