Kobe Bryant needs to score 38

[maybeshewill13]

Kobe will get it. I have no doubts. Nothing left to play for, they'll get him the ball and he'll jack those shots up like there's no tomorrow.

Can't say I blame him I guess.. nothing to lose.

doesnt durant have another game?

Nope

durant is in his last game right now. not sure if he is playing anymore though. it's in the 4th and he has 30.

EDIT: NVM finished with 32 points in 40 minutes.

[The Macho Man]

I hope he goes for it and doesn't settle for 38. Go for 50+

Rooting for the legend to jack up shots and take the scoring title

[Odinn]

Why shouldn't he give it a shot? Just checked the scoring titles history and if I'm not wrong, Kobe will be the 2nd one who gets a scoring title at his 33.

(The first one is Jordan of course btw.)

[lakerspng]

he should go for it and his teammates should help set him up to go for it. Why not. It's an incredible achievement at any age, what to speak of his 16th year in the league.

[Jimmy2k8]

Nothing to lose at this point; might as well gun for 50 + points.

[imdaman99]

i want him to try to get it. but if he is shooting under 30% by halftime, he might give it up.

Only reason you don't go for it is if you want to rest for the playoffs, but Kobe has had a bit of a break with his shin injury. I say jack it up Mamba! I wouldn't blame him for giving it a go. It's a meaningless game otherwise.

I think he should bring back the mask for this game too. Masked Mamba 2012 Scoring champ

He probably won't play much.

The game doesn't mean anything and I bet Mike Brown and their coaches would want to give Ebanks and Barnes a bunch of minutes so they know who to give all of Artest's minutes to in the first 6 games of the playoffs.

scoring title is not a big deal, but since the game is meaningless mine as well go for it. No one really cares.

Good point, whether or not Kobe gets the scoring title is up to Mike Brown. Because if he plays full minutes, my money's on Kobe getting it.

It'd be hilarious if Sacramento decided to cockblock him and just load up on him all night. Mike Brown might even take him out out of fear of injury.
