Los Angeles Lakers: Kobe Bryant’s Most Memorable NBA Moments
February, 2003
During a nine-game stretch during February in 2003, in the midst of the Los Angeles Lakers’ attempt to win their fourth-straight NBA Championship, Kobe Bryant polished one of the best NBA stretches in history.
In those nine games, Kobe scored at least 40 points in each game. Here’s the rundown of those games:
- 2/6/03 vs Knicks: 46 Points (W)
- 2/11/03 vs Nuggets: 42 points (W)
- 2/12/03 vs Nuggets: 51 points (W)
- 2/14/03 vs Spurs: 44 points (L)
- 2/16/03 vs Knicks: 40 points (L)
- 2/18/03 vs Rockets: 52 points (W)
- 2/19/03 vs Jazz: 40 Points (W)
- 2/21/03 vs Blazers: 40 Points (W)
- 2/23/03 vs Sonics: 41 points (W)
His averages during that historical stretch, which could arguably be the NBA’s best stretch in history, were 41.0 minutes per game, 44 points, five rebounds, 47 percent from three-point range and 50 percent from the field.
Amazing.
