Lakers: Kobe Bryant Names Surprising Top 5 Players He Faced
“These guys looked like they were scared or intimidated by Durant and ( Russell) Westbrook”.

Also what highlights just how a great a player really is on the court is the competition that they face during the era that they play in. “We’re looking to come out [Tuesday against Denver] and make amends for the way we played the last game”.
Rookie Anthony Brown got the start in Kobe’s spot for the first time this season, and had the tough task of guarding Kevin Durant, who had no problems against the rookie, or any Laker for that matter.
“Then I jumped and I was like, ‘Oh, I’m still going up.’ Then I said, ‘I might as well give it a try, ‘” Bryant continued.
But again, Russell and Julius Randle had to defend themselves against their feckless head coach. “We didn’t have any energy”.
“We just had to stay focus and keep doing what we do every night”, Kanter said.
“I like took off and ran across the baseline, tried to get back before the ref saw me and, uh, I caught Denzel’s (Washington) attention and the ref caught me and I don’t know what we did”, Russell said, according to ESPN.
Houston led by as many as 26 points in the first half and was up by 12 after three quarters.
Kevin Durant scored a team-high 22 points (7-13 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 5-7 FT) while adding eight rebounds and two assists in 30 minutes during Saturday’s win over the Lakers. Westbrook handed out 10 assists on Thursday – the fourth time in seven games that he reached double figures. This was the largest margin of victory for the Thunder this season.
Injuries limited Bryant to 41 games over the past two seasons, and after appearing in 23 of the Lakers’ 27 games this season, he is nursing a sore shoulder.
Howard has a player option for $23.2 million next year, but likely will become a free agent instead, but says this is just a common sense move because it allows him to sign a long term contract at superstar salary prices.
This is unfortunate timing for Bryant, who’s been playing by far his best basketball of the season over the last two weeks. “Laker Nation: After losing to the Thunder by 40pts [Saturday], for the 1st time I’m at a loss for words”.
“I think the most important thing, the most attractive thing is how does your legacy impact the generation of players to come and the generation of players now playing”.
Asked about his dunk Thursday against Houston – his first of the season, which might have contributed to his shoulder issue – Bryant said he was as excited as his younger teammates.

“They want to get a glimpse of greatness”, Scott said.
