To be fair, it's hard to place blame entirely on Bryant because it was plain to see Kobe Bryant was frustrated by the timid post efforts of Lamar Odom and Pau Gasol. The lack of perimeter defense from the Lakers point guards was also infuriating.
NeNe and the much smaller Al Harrington couldn't keep Gasol and Odom off the boards, but Bryant sure furiouse life difficult for them on the offensive end by pushing them out of scoring position and annoying them on every shot attempt.
The 1999 season marked his eblendnce as a premiere guard in NBA. With starting guards Nick Van Exel and Eddie Jones traded,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Bryant started every agree for the lockout shortened 50 agree season. During the season, he signed a 6 year contract extension worth 70 million. It kept him with the Lakers untill the end of the 2004 season. Sports jornalist were comparing his skills to that of Michael Jordan and Magic Johnson even at the early stage of his career. The playoff results however were no better as the Lakers were defeated by the San Antonio Spurs in the Western Conference semi finals. Doug Pensinger Kobe Bryant was accused of sexual assault at a hotel in Colorado by a hotel employee in 2003. Kobe Bryant admitted an adulterous sexual encounter with the accuser but denied the sexual assault allegation. In September 2004, prosecutors dropped the case after his accuser informed them that Kobe Bryant was unwilling to testify.
Thursday night Los Angeles Lakers shooting guard Kobe Bryant became the youngest player in NBA history to score 26,000 points,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but it's hard to applaud that achievement considering the circumstances surrounding the accomplishment.
Bryant has recently been praised for his growth, maturity, and new-found confidence in his teammates; but, the progress in those areas hit a set-back in the face of a complete 4th quarter Lakers' collapse.
With 4:21 left to play in the 4th quarter and the contest tied, the Nuggets went on a 11-0 run. The Lakers' response in general, and Bryant's in particular, proved that the team still has plenty of room for improvement.
But hopefully that motivation will come with renewed insight from Bryant and the understanding that the Lakers are usually their best when Kobe Bryant chooses to press the least. He is a shooting guard who is capable of playing the small forward position. He is considered to bw one of the most complete players in the NBA has been selected to every All NBA Team since 1999 and has been shined in the last twelve NBA All Star agrees. Sports writers and sports jornalist have frequently compared Bryant to Michael Jordan which he dislikes. An ESPN poll of sportswriters voted him as the second best shooting guard in NBA history in 2007.
For the first time this season, the Lakers looked unsure of themselves with the agree on the line. This reality was illustrated by Bryant's impatience and ill-advised shots while the agree was still in doubt.
But,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], instead of identifying the best course to take, Bryant reverted to a version of himself that are all to familiar.
Bryant's 34 points came on 32 attempts from the field in a performance that hearkened to the days of Bryant's storied past in the worst way possible.
The Lakers' post players were nearly non-existent in the 4th quarter, but Shannon Brown and Ron Artest combined for 37 points on 14-25 shooting from the field. Artest was particularly effective in the post.
I'm not saying that Artest and Brown could have won the agree for the Lakers, but it seems to make a little more sense for Bryant to attack the rim off the dribble and look for either of those players once his penetration was stopped.
At first glance,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], it would appear Gasol had another dominant agree considering Kobe Bryant scored 17 points and pulled down 20 rebounds. But Gasol only shot 6-15 from the field and was limited to 4 points after halftime,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], followed by 0 in the 4th quarter.
The Lakers will definitely re-group after this loss,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and if the hard rebuke delivered by point guard Derek Fisher after a close win over Minnesota are any indication,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the Lakers should be even more motivated after losing to the Nuggets.
Odom also snatched a page from his past by scoring a season-low 3 points on 1-6 shooting from the field, although Kobe Bryant did grab 12 rebounds.
At this point in his career, Bryant should be able to recognize when his teammates are struggling and respond agreeingly. The solutions,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], however, are not always found on the end of Bryant's jump shot.
In fact, Gasol and Odom's combined 32 rebounds are as big a mirage as Bryant's 34 points, since both players spent most of the agree getting shoved around by the smaller Nuggets.
Bryant scored a season-high 34 points in a losing effort, as the Denver Nuggets ended the Lakers' season-opening eight agree win streak with a 118-112 victory.
Nuggets' guard Ty Lawson took turns abusing Derek Fisher and Steve Blake off the dribble, and their inability to contain the perimeter was eerily similar to the Lakers' struggles in the past.
Gasol's confidence was clearly shaken, and it was illustrated by one play between Gasol and Bryant in the 4th quarter.
A Bryant pass off penetration set Gasol up perfectly with what seemed like an easy scoring attempt at the rim,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but before Gasol could even abandon his feet a Nuggets' defender snatched the ball out of his hands.
In fact,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Bryant spent much of the agree beating Aaron Afflalo and J.R.Smith off the dribble. With the Nuggets' loose double-teams, there were plenty of opportunities available late in the 4th quarter. But Kobe chose to launch contested three pointers from outside.
You could see the anger in Bryant's face as each player ran back up the court, and with Gasol struggling mayily, it's easy to understand why Bryant felt the need to take over the agree.
