This Lakers season has been so bad — the worst in team history. In his final game, Kobe Bryant managed to make the Lakers look like NBA title favorites.
Well, at least for a play.
Bryant dished out a perfect no-look, behind-the-back pass to D’Angelo Russell who went under his legs to Julius Randle for a dunk.
We need to see that again to confirm that it really happened.
Yes, it happened.
The first half of Kobe’s finale was exactly the Kobe show that fans had paid to see. He scored 22 first-half points on 20 shots. Because why not? The Lakers had nothing to play for. The night was all about Kobe, and nobody was complaining.
That no-look pass was a reminder of Kobe at his best.
