QUOTE OF THE DAY
THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
"Kobe wasn't going to let the Lakers mess the playoffs!"
Former Lakers coach Phil Jackson on Twitter.com
Kobe Bryant's 27.3 PPG this season was the best scoring average in NBA history by a player in his 17th season or later.

THE MORNING BREW Torn Achilles not the end for Bryant
Q: Where does Kobe Bryant's jersey rank in market sales?
Ever since I was young I have been a die-hard Laker fan. While growing up, watching Kobe Bryant was probably one of the most exciting things I saw as a sports fan. Even in his 17th season he still amazes me with everything that he had. Being 19 years old, I truly do not know what life is like without him, mainly because I have never seen a Lakers roster without his name on it. Even the thought of him never playing basketball again makes me speecless.
Legacies often go untouched. And I think I speak for most of the basketball world when I say Bryant's legacy is one that another player could not begin to approach. His influence on and off the floor is something I am sure will never be comprehensible. He has made basketball a global phenomenon in which the sport is more popular now than it has ever
been. Bryant is a star in the basketball world, and playing in Los Angeles has allowed him to emerge as a celebrity as well.
Let me be clear: I do not believe Bryant's career is over. Let's face it — no injury has ever stopped him from playing before. In fact, I'm pretty sure he never had those torn ligaments in his finger repaired. I do believe, however, that he
will not be the same player he was when he returns. A torn Achilles is usually a career-ending injury.
I have had my own injuries, and have learned through my experiences that they are not easy to overcome. He knows the challenges that lie ahead of him, and understands the obstacles he has to face. But he will be back.
Without a doubt, Bryant is one of the best players the game has ever seen. To compare him to Michael Jordan or any other player is just ridiculous and unfair to both of them. Bryant is his own player. Sure, he might be the closest thing to Jordan we will ever see, but both of them have done different things that make them unique.
Everyone is thinking this is the end for one of the greats — at least many people are thinking that. We can all
doubt Bryant as much as we want, but the fact of the matter is that his haters are his motivators. If there is one thing he loves more than anything in this world, it is when people tell he cannot do something.
Never could anyone have imagined something like this happening to Bryant. Whether you are a Kobe-lover or a Kobe-hater, seeing a star like him go down like he did is something no one ever wants to see. But I have faith, he will be back. He won't be the same Kobe we all know, but he will be back.
