Kobe Bryant
Hidden Gem Full Highlights (Rare)
LA Lakers vs Houston Rockets
November 12, 2000
Staples Center

- 37 pts, 10r, 2a, 3s / 12-29 fg, 1-1 3pt, 12-15 ft

This was the Lakers’ 7th game of their 2000-01 title defending campaign; they were 3-3 heading into it. Kobe started the season a bit slow. Maybe some championship hangover? Probably not. Likely a rhythm thing. Through the first 6 games, he was at 22.5p, 4r and 4a albeit logging 41.0 mpg. That would soon change. Houston was the first of 12 teams Kobe would face among the next 14 games. Kobe proceeded to average 33.1p, 6.0r and 5.0a on 49-37-90 (%) from this November 12th Rockets matchup to his 51 points in Oakland on December 6th. The Lakers went 11-3 in that span. I’m guessing Kobe was aware of his slow start.

The Carl’s Jr commercial at halftime is intentional.
“Don’t bother me. I’m eating.” Classic.
