Kobe Sets Lakers Scoring Record. Sportsbook online saw Kobe Bryant break the Los Angeles Lakers’ franchise scoring record on Tuesday against the Memphis Grizzlies. Unfortunately for Kobe and the Lakers, the team lost vs. the offshore sportsbook odds against the Grizzlies.
Sportsbook online stats had Kobe scoring 44 points to pass Jerry West as the all-time leading scorer in Los Angeles history. The problem for the Lakers is that they lost 95-93 to the Grizzlies. “It’s a great honor to say the least [because] of the great players that have played here and the tradition we have,” Bryant said, “[West] taught me so much when I was 17 years old. He showed me a lot about the game, the jump shot and spin moves and all the others. Even though it’s me passing him in the record books, it’s still us, and it’s still Magic and all the other great players.”
Kobe got much of the attention in the sportsbook online game but the Grizzlies ended up winning. Rudy Gay had 25 points to lead the Grizzlies. The Lakers had a chance to win at the end but Ron Artest missed a three-point shot at the buzzer.
The sportsbook online attention is still on Kobe since he became the all-time leading scorer for the Lakers with 25,208 points. Kobe had a chance for the last shot but was heavily guarded and he passed to Artest. “They had like three guys [on me],” Bryant said. “Ron was wide open in the corner. I’ll take that look any time. It just went a little long.”
Head coach Phil Jackson is likely to get the attention in the next game since with a win he will pass Pat Riley as the all-time winningest coach in Lakers history.
Memphis has been a good team to follow this season in sportsbook online action while the Lakers are normally overvalued at the offshore sportsbook. The Grizzlies have already beaten the Lakers, Cleveland, Orlando, Denver and Dallas this sportsbook online season. They have gone 25-13 after a 1-8 start and they are very much in the playoff picture. The Grizzlies have not only been a straight up success, they have been a success against the odds at the offshore sportsbook. They are 27-19-1 this season vs. the offshore sportsbook lines. They are 15-8-1 at home and 12-11 on the road in sportsbook online NBA games.
