Although most folks who enjoy basketball are currently preoccupied with the ongoing NCAA Basketball Tournament at the moment, Kobe Bryant’s extraordinary effort over the past week should be noted as the Lakers star scored 65, 50, 60 and 50 in consecutive games. Only Wilt Chamberlain has scored at least 50 points in more consecutive NBA games, having reeled off a streak of seven games during the 1961-62 season. To appreciate just how zoned in Bryant is right now, check out this turnaround three-pointer he nailed the other night against Portland.
And while on the subject of spectacular NBA performances, don’t miss this five minute video of former Celtic great Larry Bird’s seemingly endless array of buzzerbeater baskets with some pretty funny commentary from his teammates and opponents.
Finally, this short video includes the best piece of sportscasting commentary that I’ve heard in a long time.
