Here are the compiled video highlights of Kobe Bryant's abrupt takeover to fuel the Lakers' Game 1 win in the conference finals. Basketball professor Bethlehem Shoals calls it "the definitive one-man heroics of the 2007-08 post-season." I'm not nearly so deep. I just go straight to the :37 mark and watch Manu Ginobili get humiliated twice on the same play. Then I do it again. Lather, rinse, repeat.
Hypothetical question: I have a, uh… "friend"… who hates the Spurs more than war or cancer or even homeless people. Should that friend seek professional help? By which I mean, should he hire professional assassins to kill the Spurs?

That must have been brutal for Spurs lovers. Good thing I'm a Lakers fan.
+1 Mike…. i say well played. others might not.
I love Kobe beef.

I hear yah..I feel the same way about the Red Sawx. I resolve this issue by gaining peace spiritually, through spreading my seed in and on all of the women that reside in that city. To quote a "GREAT KING" If we can't get them out, we'll breed them out

You mean he didn't?
Posts like these remind me how much it truly sucks being a Raptors fan (there, I said it)!
I agree….well played Prison Mike.
I’ll say this, and I don’t care if my fellow Chicagoans like swany call me crazy: Kobe is very close to Michael in terms of ability. Give Kobe another 10 years, and he might have 4, 5, or 6 titles as the number 1 option, just like Mike had.
Remember, Michael didn’t win his first until he was 29, the same age Kobe is now.
/hey, HHY, get a blog if you want to spout unhumorous opinions
@Prison Mike: nice job taking one on the chin. Good for you.
@Matt: the video indicates that an assassin has already been hired, and thy name is Kobe.
I know everyone hates the comparison but everything about the way he played SERIOUSLY looked like Jordan last night. It's sick to watch.
@HHY: let’s agree not to post the exact same thought simultaneously, shall we?
It's like he's having unconsensual anal sex with the Spurs' defense.
the Lakers would be nowhere without Lamar Odom
/URI grad
Some might say he raped them.
Ill see myself out.
I wish Kobe would rape me.
Fear the Hobbits, my name is Kobe, Doogie is just my alias.
Actually, I think we can all agree to be Kobe for present purposes.
Holy shit. Usually people make up accounts just to chirp cuz matt talked shit about their teams. Fear the Hobbits makes an account to announce her desire to be raped, on With Leather. Sweet Jesus, it’s like dangling a steak at the lion’s den.
Marv Albert clearly has too much power. He says "Kobe needs to go on a tear" and boom. You need to preface that shit with "spoiler alert," Marv.
PS Most of the Albert family (except Fat) have also become sports announcers. Thanksgiving at that house must be hilarious.
What can I say, the Kobe has magical powers.
@HHWK – hey… give Collins his credit. He agreed with him, fully. Although he stole that bit from Joe Buck
When did Manu start working in the hotel industry?
(It's funny because Kobe probably raped a woman who works in the hotel industry but no one cares because he has a nice jump shot.)
More like Manu-er Ginobli! Oh yea baby, just called him shit. You've got to come original. Ah, yes, indeed you've got to come original.
wwsm, no one cares because rape not only feels good, it’s also fun for the whole family.
I think i have finally found someone who hates manu ginobli as much as i do.
I would be happy to assasinate him for both you and I matt. It shouldn't be too hard after kobe dismantled him for us.
I'm not sure if that qualifies as rape, but the Spurs sure laid there and enjoyed it.
I think people assume it wasn't rape because the girl was white. Not to stereotype, but white chicks are freaks.
PS I was referring to the hotel girl, not Manu. Argentinians aren't technically white.
Sure glad a majority of us Philly fans wouldn't take the hometown boy back, I am really looking forward to giving a max contract to Andre Iguodala. Joy.
Ginobili performs the definitive one-man heroics of the 2007-08 post-season every night.
I'd like to see any of those hoods try and hit a split-fingered fastball.
Sorry – I was at lunch. Anyone make a rape joke yet?
Here's one: Manu was seen after the game collecting pubes from his underwear for evidence.
