Kobe Bryant Out Against Thunder Saturday With Sore Shoulder
“These guys looked like they were scared or intimidated by Durant and ( Russell) Westbrook”.

“I’ve been very fortunate to play in so many All-Star games”, Bryant said.
Asked about Bryant’s interest in competing at Rio 2016, USA Basketball managing director Jerry Colangelo told USA Today: “This goes back early last summer, I guess, or spring – and the concept being that it would be great to end a career, win a gold medal and ride off into the sunset”. And it’s certainly a moment that stuck with Lakers rookie D’Angelo Russell, who summed up the awe and fear of God that Bryant’s dunk instilled in his teenage psyche with a priceless quote in the postgame.
“I will always be around, not just from a Lakers standpoint but also for players around the league, just to be a mentor”, he said. “We didn’t have energy”.
“We just tried to make the right play every time down and defensively, we just tried to cover for each other”, Durant said.
“We put together run after run and we just continued to do things that we needed to do”, Rockets interim coach J.B. Bickerstaff said.
The Lakers’ point total was their second-lowest this season and the lowest by an Oklahoma City opponent since the Thunder beat the Miami Heat 93-75 on March 22.
In that game Durant, Ibaka and Westbrook combined for 68 OKC points, but the game belonged to Jodie Meeks who scored 18 of his game-high 42 points from beyond the arc as the Lakers sealed a 114-110 overtime win. Julius Randle struggled against OKC, going 1 for 7 with 2 points but getting 7 rebounds in 26 minutes. The Kiwi star finished the match with 10 points and seven rebounds on the night.
“He’s a fantastic player”, Lakers guard Kobe Bryant said on Monday in an NBA-sanctioned conference call with global media.
Kobe played one of his best games of the season on Thursday night against the Houston Rockets. After tearing his left Achilles tendon in April 2013, Bryant returned in eight months for six more games before needing season-ending surgery on his left knee.
The Lakers announced about 90 minutes before the game that Bryant wouldn’t play due to the sore shoulder.
There had been speculation that Bryant would seek to continue his career in Europe, with an offer from Italian club Viola Reggio Calabria, where his father Joe played, have reportedly been made.

“I definitely plan on helping the game spread and helping kids all around the world understand kind of the metaphors that come along with the game… everything that surrounds the game of basketball”.
