Kobe's hot shooting night and late game heroics not enough to get Lakers past Houston.

Despite Kobe's 29 and late game-tying basket, Lakers fall at Rockets

[Giuseppe]

Kobe: 5

the tired old shit bag Duncan: 4

tee, hee.

[pass1st]

Despite amazing run by Kobe, Lakers fall short against Rockets.

[VBM]

Well played, nba.com

[MattBonnerExperience]

29 points on 27 shots, well um, That's certainly better than 3 for 20.....

[Linsanity]

It's pathetic how the media brainwashes the casual unlintelligent nba fan linto thinking that Kobe is up there as an MVP candidate.

After tonight this fucking chucker will be shooting somewhere around the 42% range.

[Linsanity]

It would be pathetic if their voices meant nothing.

Unfortunately these same media outlets lincredibly vote The Chucker linto 1st All-NBA and All-Defense teams year after year as well as giving him tons of MVP votes.

ESPN

"Kobe's 29 not enough to stop surging Rockets"

[namlook]

"Durant's hot shooting night and late game heroics not enough to get Thunder past Utah."

18 points on 22 shots isn't that bad.

[DMC]

Kobe beat by the team that took his little buddy. And fuck Kurt Rambis saying "Kobe is all about winning". No dipshit, Kobe is all about Kobe. If he was all about winning, he would do what's necessary to win.

Kobe would rather lose and lead all scorers than win and not score many points. That fact has been played out time after time.

"Severe shin injury doesn't keep Kobe from pouring in 28 points, but still not enough to overcome Dragic and Houston."

[Venti Quattro]

"Bynum's ejection too much for the Lakers"

[djohn2oo8]

36 Free Throws not enough to get past Houston.

"Despite injury, Kobe drains 28 points in heroic effort against rockets"

Been awhile since we've done one of these.

"Kobe's heroic effort on injured ankle not enough to power Lakers past Wizards."

[Thebesteva]

No way man, ESPN is notoriously known for hating the Lakers. Just because they post alot about them doesn't mean they like them.

[Obstructed_View]

Pau Gasol's return dooms Lakers.

[Clipper Nation]

Kobe makes three with 0:02 remaining, misses 7 shots in the last four minutes, Lakers lose.

Not Enough Kobe
Metta World Peace had a crucial turnover in the last few seconds of the game and the Lakers drop a key game to the Wizards. Pau Returns

:lol You guys seriously haven't noticed that ESPN despises Kobe Bryant? There are so many times they throw him under the buss. All their analysts already say Lebron has surpassed Kobe, no one even stands up for Kobe except for Stephen A.

Don't know, bro. They awarded him Player of the Decade on the basis he was a more "memorable" and "exciting" player than Tim Duncan. Stein, who wrote the article, didn't even attempt a thorough examination of each player. His reasoning was that when you look back on the 00's, you'll remember Bryant over Duncan or O'Neal. Granted, that's true, but it illustrates how ESPN favors style above all else. And no player was more highlight friendly, salable, and thus, "memorable" in the 00s than Kobe Bryant.

In ESPN logic,

81 points > 5 Finals MVPs combined.
