BEAST - a person who is exceptionally amazing at something. A beast stands out among all others in their field of work, be it sports, fashion, singing, dancing, etc.
Okay, all true basketball fans know that Kobe Bryant is a beast; this notion is irrefutable. Many people knock his talent by attacking his "personality," and while that is stupid on soooo many levels, any rational person can agree that his basketball talent is the only thing that should matter in the discussion of "who is the best player in the NBA?"
Well, last night when the New York Knicks hosted the Los Angeles Lakers at Madison Square Garden, Kobe proved not only that he tops the league, but he reaffirmed that he is one of the greatest players to ever play the game of basketball.
Whenever LA and NY play, there is always so much publicity around the game since LA and NY are like the entertainments capitals of the USA on so many levels. Kobe definately knew this going in, and that explains why he torched the Knicks for 61 points on the biggest stage of them all...Madison Square Garden; the most popular arena in the world. Kobe and the Lakers destroyed NYC in King Kong type fashion, going on to a blowout win over the Kicks. Kobe's 61 was also historic because that set the record for the most points ever scored in the arena and also by an opponent. Jordan previously held the record with 55.
Indeed, Kobe silenced all the critics last night, and all those wondering if he still has the beastly qualities of his earlier years. Yes he does.
