Kobe Bryant
Hidden Gem Full Highlights (Rare)
LA Lakers vs Memphis Grizzlies
November 29, 2002
Pyramid Arena
- 45 pts, 6r, 5a, 2s / 18-35 fg, 2-4 3pt, 7-9 ft
(Game 17 of 82)
Another nasty showcase from ‘03 Kobe; even with Shaq back in the lineup, there was no letup. The season’s first 12 games (Shaq injured) saw Kobe put up 29.4p, 8.8r, and 6.2a. But as was noted under the Concord 11 game, the Lakers were struggling to find solid role playing around the superstar. Shaq’s toe injury, along with the aging/decline of supporting players contributed to the team’s unforeseen and lottery destined 11-19 start thru 30 games. It’s important to address the Western Conference’s other elite teams such as San Antonio, Sacramento, Dallas and Minnesota all making a tremendous effort to catch up, to get better, intent on dethroning the Lakers’ dynasty.
The 2002-03 team was the most top-heavy squad of any in their 5 season Phil Jackson era. The Kobe-Shaq dynamic peaked in terms of production. 2 superstars, 1 of which arguably the league’s best perimeter player, the other a reigning 3x Finals MVP, both tasked with carrying the weight of scoring nearly 30+ ppg each for wins to pile up. Kobe’s heightened play, paired with an ‘exiting his prime but still capable of tapping into it’ Shaquille O’Neal, resulted in 2 players averaging a combined 57.5 points. It was a daily collaboration, a nightly demonstration of unparalleled talent from the league’s best duo. After the 11-19 start, the next 52 games went like this:
Lakers 39-13 record:
Kobe (52 g) - 31.9p, 6.4r, 5.2a, 2.3s on 46-40-86 (%)
Shaq (49 g) - 28.0p, 11.1r, 3.3a, 2.5b on 58-64 (%)
