"LOS ANGELES - Kobe Bryant scored a season-high 53 points, making 14 of 16 free throws, and the Los Angeles Lakers rallied from a 21-point deficit to beat the Houston Rockets 112-101 in double overtime Friday night. ADVERTISEMENT The Lakers trailed until the final 1 1/2 minutes of regulation, then squeaked out a back-and-forth first overtime before scoring the first nine points of the second OT to pull away. Bryant's 13th career game of 50 or more points came against Yao Ming, who led the Rockets with 35 points, 15 rebounds and a career-high eight blocked shots. Bryant added 10 rebounds and eight assists in the Lakers' first overtime game of the season. Smush Parker added 17 points for the Lakers, including two consecutive baskets on assists from Bryant that helped force the first overtime. Rafer Alston had 19 points and 10 assists for Houston, which was without Tracy McGrady for the third consecutive game because of back spasms."

"On behalf of the more than 1 million members and supporters of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) worldwide, I am writing with a solution to the recent drama of a few high-profile NBA players who were whining about fingertip scratches and scrapes caused by the new composite basketball adopted by the league. As excruciating as these "injuries" must be for a worldclass athlete, thousands of cows stand to suffer far worse if the NBA goes back to a leather basketball -- so we'd like to suggest a compromise. PETA would like to offer a lifetime supply of cruelty-free hand cream to any NBA siss ... excuse me, superstar who'd be willing to give the composite ball another shot. Recreational players and NCAA athletes have been using composite balls for years without experiencing scratches or scrapes -- but we understand that the delicate hands of pampered NBA superstars are far more sensitive than those of your average Joe who actually has to work for a living. The hand cream comes in a variety of scents, including "Filthy Rich Organic" (perfect for any overpaid millionaire) and "Peaceful Patchouli"-Nash, we have a whole case of that set aside for you. Maybe by taking care of your own skin a bit better, you can allow cows who would otherwise meet their end in the slaughterhouse to keep theirs. "

worst organization with the best smack of all


so those qualities negate eachother

12/16/2006 2:08:56 AM

no, no they don't.

12/16/2006 2:13:24 AM

damn 53 + double overtime isnt enough to even have its own thread from drunknloaded?

12/16/2006 2:15:17 AM

Seriously, it's not like if these cows aren't used for basketball they are suddenly free to live out the rest of their days in blissful contentment.

They will just be killed and eaten, and their skin turned into something else.

12/16/2006 2:17:18 AM

for every animal that Peta members don't eat, I'll eat 5.

Not to mention ALMOST shooting 45% from the floor!

12/16/2006 3:00:54 AM

53 is still fucking amazing even for double overtime .. he set the bar too high for himself last year with that 80 something game ... Y.Ming couldn't do 53 in a game in double OT b/c he's not conditioned, but he is more conditioned then me .. as I smoke this cig....

12/16/2006 3:10:36 AM

^hell yeah man...i read that whole thing- i'm gonna have a cig too

12/16/2006 3:14:47 AM

but 44% isn't really a bad percentage

not impressive, but I am guessing it is roughly a little above the league average.

12/16/2006 3:18:41 AM

^thats what i was thinking

i think shaq is like 52 percent usually or something and i mean he is shaq

12/16/2006 3:20:48 AM

thats my boy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! yoa yooooooooooooo yoe yeeeee yoooooo yaooua aint got shit on kobe. Who is watchin gthis game a 2nd time on espn. The 2nd time is always the best. NBA, dont be gay

12/16/2006 3:54:50 AM

^^yeah that's one of the reasons everyone is in love with Steve Nash. He shoots over 50% as a guard. that's insane.

12/16/2006 3:57:25 AM

Cause he doesnt take 32543243 shots like the kobe.

12/16/2006 9:25:09 AM

KOBE IS THE BEST PLAYER ALIVE!!!

THE LAKERS ARE ONE PLAYER AWAY FROM WINNING ANOTHER RING!!

12/16/2006 9:51:09 AM

SKIP TO MY LOU

12/16/2006 10:18:25 AM

^^^ because he isn't a "shooting" guard.......or the best scorer in the entire league
