(Photos: Getty Images) The most valuable player of yesterday afternoon’s game is Pau Gasol. He was definetly on point with his offense and did more than exceptionally well on defense. Gasol had 36 points, 8 assists, 16 rebounds, and 3 blocked shots. L.A. took the victory with a 14-point win (128-114). Kobe Bryant scored 18 points of his total 32 points in the last 8 minutes of the game to make sure they’ll lead the victory. Lamar Odom had 17 points, 14 rebounds, 6 assists. On the opposing team, Carmelo Anthony was MVP out of his teammates scoring 30 points, 12 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 steals. Allen Iverson had 30 points as well before he was immediately removed for 2 technical fouls. L.A. Lakers’ MVP of the game, Pau Gasol, said at the end of the game:
“It feels amazing, it feels great. I had a blast out there.” Gausol said, “We did a pretty good job, we can do better. We’re happy with the win, I’m happy with the win. Hopefully there will be many more.”
Ballots for MVP are already in and Kobe Bryant is the winner, but LeBron James agrees that Kobe deserves the award. Lebron recently said:
”I’d give it to Kobe,” Lebron says ”What he’s done this whole year, to carry that team to the No. 1 team in the West right now. He’s playing his best basketball all around. I’ve watched him the whole year. I saw it last summer when I played with him with USA Basketball and the sacrifices he’s made for the team and he’s done that with the Lakers.”
A lot of people are debating on the veracity of this stunt Kobe Bryant pulled when he jumped over a speeding Aston Martin sports care It looks real to me, but it can also be a case of “smoke and mirrors.” He could have very well jumped in the air, and the car went right beside him, instead of in front of him as the video portrays. But you can’t really tell from the angle.
In any case, doing something like this is not only stupid, but point blank idiotic. I guarantee you some fool who wants some youtube shine is either going to kill himself (or herself, for that matter), or be paralyzed for the rest of his/her life trying to duplicate, or even TOP the stunt. Mark my words!
