Kobe Bryant scored a season-high 52 points, making all nine of his shots in the third quarter Thursday night in the Los Angeles Lakers' 132-102 victory over the Utah Jazz.

Kobe Erupts for 52, Lakers Roll Over Jazz

It wasn't just that Kobe had his 12th career game of 50+ points, but how he did it that was so impressive. According to this story, "He made all nine shots from the floor and was 10-for-10 at the foul line in his highest-scoring game since an 81-point outburst against Toronto on Jan. 22 last season. He had 30 points in the third quarter, tying his own team record set during a 62-point effort against Dallas on Dec. 20." I don't quite get their math (must've been 9-for-9 in a single quarter or something), but Bryant nonetheless had a huge day. He even got a high-five from the Zen Master himself; when have you ever seen THAT before?

I have to admit, If I had to pick a player for the playground, I would probably pick Kobe. But I still would rather have Nash if I was starting a team. But in a one-on-one league I would take Kobe.
