Hooped Up

Legendary is a new segment of amazing / historical NBA events

I watched this game and I was amazed, that nobody body checked Kobe Bryant at about 50 points.  This was Kobe Bryant at his deadliest and I don’t know if we’ll see another performance like this from a guard for another 10 years.  

Kobe was definitely out to prove a point that night and Phil Jackson was all green lights.  I just want to know, what the heck was Sam Mitchell telling his players to stop the “Black Mamba”.  

I would have advised a strong hip-check.
