Kobe scored 50 as the Los Angeles Lakers beat the Seattle Supersonics, 109-98, to clinch a spot in the NBA playoffs. It's the 17th time in 17 years that a Phil Jackson coached team has made the postseason. So how will this team fare? They've been struggling as of late. That can't be a good sign.

They might win one game if Kobe scores about 65.

For Kobe to live up to his self-pronounced greatest player in the game, they better win a series - at least.

Kobe can perform at his best, but basketball is a team sport.
