Please. I wasn't bowing down to Peyton when he broke the touchdown record and I won't bow down to Kobe for scoring 81 points. I can only imagine how ludicrous that game looked...one guy basically doing everything. It may be athletically impressive, blah, blah, blah, but it's not basketball. Basketball is a team game. Kobe wanted the team to be all about him and now he has what he wanted. I refuse to worship him for it.
Apparently, he didn't even thank his teammates in his postgame conference. Presumably they were the ones feeding him the ball. Nice.
