Kobe Bryant is Back!
It didn’t take long at all did it? In fact I didn’t think Kobe Bryant would return to his old self until the Hornets series, in fact here is what I said:
“Thanks to the pity party the voting sports writers gave Kobe Bryant, Bryant has now secured what he most wanted and didn’t have. Having no more need to put on a charade about “im a team leader” Bryant will become completely focused on winning another ring at all costs.”

All it took was a back spasm to send Kobe into survival mode and become the ball hog that Kobe has always been. There was no reason why Kobe Bryant should have been taking so many shots or even be in the game when all his teammates where red hot. Yet Kobe Bryant took 33 shots to make 33 points and also took 10 three point shots and only made 1! Thats right you read it correctly Kobe Bryant tossed up 10 three point shots and only made 1.
Pau Gasol was 11 for 16 and Lamar Odom was 10 for 18 and how about Derek Fisher who was 4 for 5 from three point range? Kobe Bryant tried to take over and failed miserably causing the loss for the Lakers and letting Utah back into this series.
Kobe Bryant may recover from the back spasms and the Lakers will probably win the series against Utah but one thing you can count on is Kobe Bryant returning to his old ball hog ways. In fact it is so easy to call that I will go on record as saying when the Lakers lose the series against the Hornets (possibly Utah) it will not take long at all before Kobe Bryant blames his teammates entirely for the loss.
