Tuesday is the penultimate game Bryant will play in the Mile High City. “Kobe!” in the waning seconds.

Scott Kelly and Mikhail Kornienko are on a year-long mission, which is set to end in March. If the brake was somehow inadvertently engaged, it may be an easy task to unstick it.

What would have been the odds that he would be drafted in the first round by the Lakers and two months into the season be the team’s starting power forward?

Apple confirmed to BuzzFeed News that its App Store did not go down yesterday – for any reason. The app outranks her sister’s ‘Kylie Jenner Official App, ‘ which is at No. 5.

NOTES: Nuggets F Danilo Gallinari (sprained left ankle) joined G Emmanuel Mudiay (sprained right ankle) on the sideline. Barton, who was hot in the first half, failed to score in the fourth quarter, handing his hot hand over to Gary Harris who scored seven points in the last three minutes of the game.

Los Angeles trailed by 13 at intermission but outscored the Nuggets 32-16 in the third to take an 83-80 lead. He had a behind-the-back pass in the third quarter that set up a 3-pointer by Lou Williams.

Don’t laugh. Barton decimated the Lakers for 18 points in the first quarter and 23 by halftime.

Lakers: Former Lakers star Shaquille O’Neal was among the candidates for the recently announced Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame’s class of 2016. “Olajuwon is up there but I look at statistics and I also look at rings, and Shaq got more rings than Olajuwon”, Scott said.

The Lakers hoped an extra two days here would help them handle the city’s altitude. Jordan Clarkson scored 19 points and pulled down eight rebounds.

“Bryant had a game tonight and we didn’t have anybody that could guard him”, Nuggets coach Michael Malone said.

There wasn’t a lot of news to come out of it, I don’t think anyone really expected anything hard-hitting, but I give him credit for chatting and answering thoughtfully the questions that I’m sure he’s getting all the time. One of the teams more consistent players has surprisingly been rookie sensation Nikola Jokic. Broncos RB C.J. Anderson and safety T.J. Ward sat courtside….

He had 31 points on respectable 10-for-22 shooting and added five assists in the Lakers’ come-from-way-behind 111-107 victory over the reasonably depleted Denver Nuggets.

Of course, Byron knows that he can tell Kobe to take it easy with the dunks all he wants, if Bryant wants to throw it down in his very next game, he will do just that.

“We wanted him to go out on top and have a chance to win another championship”.

While it makes some sense financially and maybe even from a global image standpoint, allow to me put these conversations to rest with a pretentious yet accurate statement: Kobe Bryant was – and is – too great of a player to entertain a career overseas.
