This scoring title thing has taken on a life of its own and I'm not sure why. Durant can have it if he wants. Kobe has other things to worry about. Admittedly, the all time scoring lists. But with the playoffs within days, I highly doubt that's a top priority for him right now.


That right there is why I think he get's it. Kills two birds with one stone, moves him up the list and gives him another scoring title.

That's all I wanted

Hoping Kobe flat out guns for it


30 shots or more would look bad though. Unworthy of winning it.

I sure hope not. Go Kings!

It would be funny if Kobe heats up and scores that in the first half and sits the second. lol

I dunno, they almost went out and beat OKC in OKC yesterday, so maybe they didn't get the tanking message.

On the other hand, Sac is by far the worst defensive team in the league so the setup is perfect IF Brown decided to play a real game here rather than a play his starters 18min a piece type thing.

He's a couple thousand behind Wilt so he's not moving up. Not after a game anyhow.

I almost want him to score 37 just for the lolz.

He should absolutely play for it. Gives meaning to a meaningless game. Hell, he should try to put up 80.

Ok guys lets play a game

Everyone gets 1 pick to guess how many shot attempts Kobe will put up.

We will congratulate the winner after

My guess is 31

Well ...

You can tell what his intentions will be by his body language in the first Q.

If he's acting all nonchalant and passive then you might as well turn off the game.

There is ZERO chance this happens. If Kobe plays tomorrow, he is gunning for that scoring title.

Anyone who thinks (1) Kobe doesn't know he needs 38 or (2) doesn't care about getting the scoring title is completely off their rockers. He'll take 38 shots if he has to.

Kobe scores 39 with a minute left in the third, winks at the camera to durant and benches himself.
