The only reason Kobe didn't play any additional minutes is that the Lakers had a 98-59 lead at the end of the third quarter. It's pretty insane to think Kobe Bryant almost outscored&nbsp;an opposing team by himself after three quarters; It's more insane that he actually ended up doing it <a href=\"https:\/\/ballislife.com\/kobe-62-mavs\/\">against the Mavs in 2005, by outscoring them 62-61 after three quarters<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The 56 was a new career-high for Kobe, who made 21-of-34 shots and 11-of-12 free throws.<\/p>\n<p>\"For some reason, I felt really good,\" Bryant said. \"I felt like I was in a groove. I didn't get the feeling of the basket being big, I had a lot of bounce. The legs felt extremely good.\"<\/p>\n<p>One of the most amusing things about the game was how good Kobe was feeling about suspended teammate Shaq: Kobe wrote the #34 on his hideous-looking Adidas shoes when he heard about Shaq being suspended. After the game, he was asked if he had a message for Shaq. His response: \u201cI love you, man!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>That love didn't last much longer but thankfully for Kobe, Pau Gasol was there to try to fill the void.<\/p>\n<h3>SHAQ VS BRAD MILLER<\/h3>\n<p>If you want to know why Shaq was suspended for three games, check out this missed punch on Bulls' center Brad Miller after a flagrant foul by him and Charles Oakley. Thankfully, Shaq didn't land the punch because we might have had another Kermit Washington\/Rudy T story if he did.<\/p>\n<p>The punch also came with $15,000 fine. Miller was suspended for one game and Oakley got two.<\/p>\n<div class=\"omc-video-container\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" style=\"width:100%; height: 100%\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/xd8UbXkFawI\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen width=\"600\" height=\"420\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>Since we are talking about big games and Lakers' bigs of the past, if you flashback 64 years ago today, George Mikan scored 51 of the Lakers 77 points in a loss to the Royals.<\/p>\n<div class=\"omc-video-container\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" style=\"width:100%; height: 100%\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/wcS4DNO2S5o\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen width=\"600\" height=\"420\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On this day in history, January 14th of 2002, Pau Gasol probably thought to himself, \"one day I&hellip; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":63,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1444,3,74,23],"tags":[6867,6811],"featured":[],"class_list":["post-68417","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-all-blogs","category-nba","category-nba-videos","category-video","tag-kobe-byrant","tag-tdih"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.4 -
