		<description>dave,

it ain&#039;t no back track, but you&#039;re right i was wrong about the 70-12, when it is 72-10.  i&#039;m just being objective about what i see in kobe.  you&#039;ve gotta admit that he&#039;s still forcing up and/or taking stupid shots at times.  those are the times that i see him still trying to get his.  

we all know that he can break anyone down almost every time down on the floor.  it&#039;s when he doesn&#039;t accept that they&#039;ve put on a good defensive effort against him and he still takes those ill-advised shots that i&#039;m talking about.  

take however you want, i don&#039;t care.  but if you were being objective, you&#039;d see just about the same thing.</description>

		<description>Sketch, nice backtrack. Anyways, another correction for you; the best season record is 72-10 by the 1995-1996 Chicago Bulls

Featuring Michael Jordan, Scottie Pippen, and Dennis Rodman, Bulls shattered records for most wins in a regular season -- and they won 87 of 100 games, including the playoffs. Ron Harper, Luc Longley, Toni Kukoc and Steve Kerr rounded out core of driven team that featured triangle offense. They started season an amazing 41-3 in Jordan&#039;s first full season since returning from retirement.</description>

		<description>it&#039;s too bad that kobe didn&#039;t get it tonight, i would have loved to seen him with that feat under his belt.  i know that he was trying to assert himself early with 5 free throws inthe 1st and ending with 21 pts by half.  the lakes were just way too efficient tonight!  phil had the 2nd squad not only finishing the 1st and 3rd quarters, but to start the 2nd and 4th as well.  damn our team is playing well right now.

i know it&#039;s early, we&#039;ve yet to play san antonio and boston...but seeing the way we can play, i like our chances of breaking the 70 win record and taking home the championship at seaaon&#039;s end.  

i never said that kobe wasn&#039;t &quot;unselfish&quot;, i just said that i still see him going for his at times.  but tonight, he did a superb job of being the consumate teammate...scoring when he had the shots and getting those assists.  and don&#039;t get me wrong, i want him to be selfish at times, i want the mamba to stay hungry.  i want to see him strike when the opportunity presents itself like on Christmas day.  i want &quot;THE FAKE 3&quot; to feel the bite and let the poison slowly set in so that by season&#039;s end when we play those friggin leprechauns, they will still be feeling the paralysis and know that kobe is king and that the lakers are his dynasty!!!</description>

		<description>I hate to say it, but Lebron is already at 11,000 and getting to 22,000 is only another half. 

In terms of quickest:

Kobe 880 games or 10.71 seasons.

Wilt did it in 543 games (about 6.6 seasons) 

and 

Jordan did it in 684 games (about 8.34 seasons).</description>

		<description>Dohh! Kobe forgot to read this blog before the game. Silly fool only scored 23 and had a team-high 7 assists. Very unselfish? Sure looks like it, but I guess I could be wrong. Could be.</description>

		<description>It&#039;s funny to see everyones take on what Kobe may or may not do tonight.  Everyone seems to think that he&#039;s so &quot;mature&quot; and that he&#039;s such a &quot;team&quot; player now, that he&#039;s not that selfish Kobe Bryant of the past anymore.  Are you guys kidding?  Have you been watching the same Kobe Bryant that I have?  He&#039;s only changed his habits but CHANGED?  HE HAS NOT!!!

Have you guys not seen him forcing up shots and taking ill-advised 3s?  Our beloved Kobe is the most competitive fool ever created.  He&#039;s still out to get his.  He&#039;s been on &quot;good&quot; behavior since last season because he knows that he needs to get his team involved otherwise they won&#039;t win.  Unlike himself, his teammates cannot just turn it on whenever they feel like it, so he needs to get them involved early, so that they can get into a rhythm.  If he knows that he&#039;s up against a record such as this, I can see him going for it! 

Here&#039;s a guy that wants to be better than MJ!  You guys don&#039;t think that he&#039;ll hurdle over Wilt&#039;s record if given the chance?  And I don&#039;t know about you guys, but I want to see him break it.  I think that it would be a great thing for his psyche!  I believe that in his mind, he has sacrificed his numbers to give the team what it needs that if he can claim this title, then it would appease the beast within and he would continue to be &quot;self-sacrificial.&quot;

I&#039;m just being objective about what I see.  I see a competitive baller who knows that he can destroy anyone in his path, but have been asked to be in check for the betterment of the team.  Because he&#039;s seen the success that it has reaped over the course of last year, he&#039;ll continue to contain the Hulk within.  

I see him still trying to go for his out there and calling for the ball every time they go down for offense.  If he gets hot early...LOOK OUT!  He might go for 82 tonight!  The bottom line is if the Lakers will win even with him going for his 38, I believe that he will most certainly try!</description>

		<description>He won&#039;t do it unless he has to, and I hope he doesn&#039;t have to.

And yea, Lebron will be the youngest to every scoring record and most other records.</description>
