When Kobe Hits a Game Winner, I Die a Little More Inside

MEMPHIS, Tenn. -- Hitting a game-winning shot never gets old for Kobe Bryant. "Every time it feels like the first time," he said.Bryant returned to lineup after missing five games with an ankle injury and made a 3-pointer with 4.3 seconds left to lift the Los Angeles Lakers to 99-98 victory over the Memphis Grizzlies Tuesday night.Bryant led the Lakers with 32 points, including his team's final nine points. His 3-pointer with 54 seconds left tied the game at 96-all. His game-winner came off an inbounds play 4 seconds after his layup attempt was blocked by Rudy Gay. "He kept making plays at the end of the game," Memphis coach Lionel Hollins said of Bryant. "Great players make great plays. You've got to give him his due [but] it hurts."

Every time it feels like the first time? Yeah? Really? Is that you told that poor white girl before you raped her in Colorado? Anyway, there's no denying Kobe is much in the clutch and I'm not a hater. I used to like him a lot. I may have had a #8 jersey when I was young buck. I think if he didn't play on the Lakers he would still be my favorite player behind Rondo, Durant and Rudy Fernandez. He's just fun to watch. Like an artist at work. But for our intents and purposes, he's the enemy. Maybe one day we can get together and talk about how silly this rivalry thing is.
