Kobe Bryant expected to play Tuesday night against Denver
The 2015-16 Los Angeles Lakers season has become the Kobe Bryant Farewell tour, but that description might not be 100 percent accurate.

“You long son of a…” Needless to say, the arrival of Durant and Westbrook had everything to do with the reversal of fortunes. Bryant tried a three-point shot, Durant blocked it back at him. “But as a kid, I wanted to hit the game-winner all the time”.
“When I played against him in the playoffs my rookie year, it was the most exciting thing for me”, Faried said.
In the past, Bryant wore an nearly angry expression from start to finish, a sign of his ferocious competitive drive.
On top of two tickets to Bryant’s last game at the Garden, the victor and guest will receive in-suite food, beverage, and a custom-made holiday ornament from the Boston Celtics. I didn’t know if I could do both.
Bryant shrugged the defensive assignment off, saying “we came out in the second half and was getting back on defense just kind of matching up and nobody was on him, so I took him”. I’m never going to forget that foul. When something like this happens, it damages the emotional Shangri-La you get from sport.
Kevin Durant added 21 points for the Thunder in a rematch of their game at Oklahoma City, when they trounced the Lakers 118-78 with runs of 18-0 and 17-2.
“He’s still Kobe Bryant”, Nuggets guard Jameer Nelson said.
“Not right now”, Bryant said, jokingly. That’s the point.’ It felt good to get them with that one. “That’s the type of stuff that I’ll miss – the competition That’s the fun stuff”.
The 17-time all-star erupted for a season-high 31 points in just 32 minutes to lead the Lakers past Denver, 111-107, on Tuesday night.
The Denver Nuggets controlled the first half of Tuesday’s contest against the Lakers, holding a significant lead at the break. That’s much more significant than where I stand in history. We’re going to go at each other, no matter what.
“You can train a cat all you want to bark. The damn cat’s not going to bark”, he said, smiling. “So there’s no sense in yelling at it”. “We are a team that’s trying to reload – I don’t like the word “rebuild” – and get back to where we’re used to being”. Tonight was no different.
In the third quarter, he backed down Barton on the right side and scored.
Indeed, Bryant has 427 30-point games in his legendary career, but playing at such a high rate has been a recent development in his 20th season. But he’s just a fantastic player.
Notable omissions from Bryant’s list included Tim Duncan, Dwyane Wade and Allen Iverson.
“I can still play a little bit”, he said.

While Durant, who is returning to form after missing a significant number of games last season due to a foot injury, remains at his very best, soon-to-be-retired Kobe Bryant is showcasing his last moves in the league.
