Video: Kobe Bryant Behind the Back Pass to Pau Gasol!

November 19, 2008 – Dr. J-Water

For those of you who watched the LA Lakers vs. Chicago Bulls game last night you’ll know exactly the play i’m talking about from the title for this post. The great thing about watching a player as great as Kobe Bryant play, is that you get tons of highlights. For me personally though, this video replay from last night’s game was my “Highlight of the Night”. Not just because it was a great pass for a great finish, but also because it symbolizes the evolution of Kobe Bryant as a player and teammate. A few years ago Kobe after splitting the defenders would take it hard to the cup trying to get fouled, or possibly pull up for a jumper in the key. It would be more rare than the norm to see him pull of a nice dish to an open teammate for the finish.

Kobe fans…..enjoy!
