NBA Greatest Duels: Kobe Bryant vs Antawn Jamison (2001) 51 points each!
NBA Greatest Duels: Kobe Bryant vs Antawn Jamison (2001) 51 points each!

- Shortly before the final minutes of their breathtaking, historic duel, Kobe Bryant leaned over to Antawn Jamison and winked. "I'm not going to let you outshine me tonight," Bryant said. The NBA scoring leader was wrong -- but not by much. Jamison scored 51 points for the second time in four days and won a scintillating battle with Bryant as the Golden State Warriors rallied in overtime for a 125-122 victory over the Los Angeles Lakers on Wednesday night. Bryant also had a career-high 51 points, but Jamison matched Bryant's every move. It was the first NBA game in which two players scored 50 points since Dec. 14, 1962, when Wilt Chamberlain had 63 for the Warriors and Elgin Baylor scored 50 for the Lakers. "It seemed like the clock was going in slow-motion," Jamison said. "It seemed like we were throwing punches, and they came back throwing punches. "It was a great game to be in. It's one of those special moments you're going to cherish for a while." The final minutes of regulation and overtime indeed resembled a prizefight, with Jamison and Bryant going toe-to-toe. With the Lakers trailing in the final three minutes of overtime, Jamison and Bryant traded six straight high-pressure scores as the Oakland Arena roared with wild applause for both players. But the Lakers' Horace Grant missed a layup with six seconds left, and Jamison ripped the rebound away from Bryant. After Bob Sura made one free throw for Golden State, Bryant's long 3-pointer at the buzzer missed. "It just hurts to lose," Bryant said. "Forget the 50 points. It just hurts to lose this type of ballgame." Jamison, who went 21-of-29 from the field, scored 51 in a loss at Seattle on Sunday night to set his career high. He became the first player to score 50 points in consecutive games since Michael Jordan, who did it three straight times in April 1987. "Jamison can play. He can play, man," Bryant said. "That's the first time I've been involved in a game like that." Bryant, who set his previous career high with 43 last week against San Antonio, was 13-of-13 on free throws. Fifty-one points are the most scored by anyone in the NBA this season. "I never imagined having a game like that, and I bet Kobe didn't either," Jamison said. "Earlier (in the game), I wasn't even feeling it. I wasn't trying to do anything out of the ordinary. It just happened." Shaquille O'Neal had 25 points and 10 rebounds for the Lakers, who lost for just the second time in 10 games. Golden State got 24 points from Larry Hughes and snapped a six-game losing streak against the world champions. "It seemed like everything Jamison threw up went in, but they just played with a lot more enthusiasm than we did," O'Neal said. Sura had 16 points for Golden State, and Mookie Blaylock added 11 points and 10 assists. The win was redemption for the Warriors after last month's 111-91 loss at Staples Center. Though they're still at the bottom of the Pacific Division, the Warriors are showing progress -- and Jamison is showing signs of greatness. He became the first Golden State player to score more than 50 points in consecutive games since Rick Barry in 1967. "(Bryant) played a great game, but it was Jamison's night tonight," Lakers coach Phil Jackson said. "He was 21-of-29, and we just had a hard time putting the clamps on him." The Warriors looked strong during a first half in which they shot 61 percent and led 63-57, their best offensive output in any half this season. The Lakers jumped ahead with a 21-6 run early in the third quarter, but the Warriors finished regulation with a desperate 12-3 rally, led by six points from Jamison. O'Neal committed a flagrant foul on Vonteego Cummings with 1:33 left, and Cummings' free throws tied the score at 107. The teams were scoreless until the regulation buzzer, with Cummings missing a wild layup with 2.5 seconds left and Bryant coming up short on a jumper as time expired. The Lakers showed some early fatigue, likely from Tuesday night's 96-85 victory over Philadelphia. Los Angeles' three-game winning streak was snapped. Chris Mills didn't dress for Golden State with a sore right ankle, and rookie Chris Porter started in his place.

Chuck O'Bannon Jr.  Leads TCU to 77-73 Win Over Oklahoma State
Chuck O'Bannon Jr. Leads TCU to 77-73 Win Over Oklahoma State

FORT WORTH, TX – TCU moves to 16-5 after beating Oklahoma State tonight 77-73 and will split the series as the Cowboys defeated them earlier in the season by one. Chuck O’Bannon Jr. led for the Frogs with 19 points, four rebounds, and three assists. He shot 3 of six from beyond the arc and his clutch three-point shooting midway through the second half compelled TCU to a 10 point lead. Emanuel Miller added 16 points, three rebounds, and four assists. Damion Bough also contributed 15 points, three rebounds, and eight assists. The game got a little bit too close for comfort with four minutes remaining in regulation. TCU was getting out hustled and Oklahoma State came back within one point. Head Coach Jamie Dixon said post game, “we played really good defense and rebounded really well until about four minutes remaining in the game and I think that’s from fatigue. We have a lot of guys playing a lot of minutes right now because we are banged up.” TCU was without Mike Miles today for the second straight game due to sprained wrists. He will be evaluated this week and will decide if he is going to play against No. 9 Texas Tech on Saturday later in the week. The game came down to two three throws made by Eddie Lampkin to give TCU a four point lead with 20 seconds remaining in the game. Lampkin ended the night with 10 points and 12 rebounds and secured his fourth double-double of the season. The Frogs shot very well tonight at 47 percent from the field and 35 percent from beyond the arc. But what really set them apart from Oklahoma State tonight was their rebounding. TCU is ranked third in the country behind Purdue and Kentucky in rebounding and they showed that tonight, out rebounding the Cowboys 37-24. The Frogs did give up 17 turnovers and that’s something that Coach Dixon said they need to work on but overall they are improving. #TCU #OklahomaState #Big12 Basketball The Frogs have yet to lose back-to-back games this season which show they have resilience. They are going to make a run for the tournament and they will do so one game at a time. TCU sits at 16-5 and 5-4 in the Big 12 conference (fifth). They will head to Lubbock on Saturday to take on No. 9 Texas Tech. Tip off is set for 3 PM

🔴West Ham vs Watford Preview - Live Match Watchalong

THE FACTS When is West Ham vs Watford taking place? West Ham vs Watford will take place on Tuesday 8th February 2022 at 19:45 (UK) Where is West Ham vs Watford taking place? West Ham vs Watford will take place at London Stadium in London Where can I get tickets for West Ham vs Watford? Ticket information for West Ham vs Watford can be found on each club’s official website THE LOWDOWN WEST HAM West Ham were almost victims to what would have been considered the biggest shock in FA Cup history by many at the weekend after trailing 1-0 away at Kidderminster Harriers of the sixth tier, however, the Hammers spared their blush, scoring stoppage-time goals in both the second half and second period of extra time to win 1-2 and advance to the fifth round, having been forced to bring on all their star players in the process. Centre-back Kurt Zouma was forced to play the full 120 minutes as a result of his side chasing the game, risk due to a troublesome knee injury which may see him left out of this one, but striker Michail Antonio is expected to be available following international duty. WATFORD Watford’s first match under Roy Hodgson ended in a 0-0 draw away at fellow relegation strugglers Burnley, keeping them inside the bottom three and currently one point behind Norwich. Striker Emmanuel Dennis returns from suspension for this match and is expected to be thrust into the starting line-up, potentially replacing Joao Pedro upfront. THE TEAM NEWS WEST HAM PREDICTED XI (4-2-3-1): Fabianski; Coufal, Dawson, Diop, Cresswell; Soucek, Rice; Bowen, Benrahma, Fornals; Antonio UNAVAILABLE: Lanzini (Injured), Masuaku (Injured), Ogbonna (Injured) QUESTIONABLE: Antonio (Rested), Fabianski (Fitness), Zouma (Injured) WATFORD PREDICTED XI (4-4-2): Foster; Kiko, Cathcart, Samir, Kamara; Kucka, Sissoko, Kayembe, Sema; Dennis, King UNAVAILABLE: Baah (Injured), N’Koulou (Injured), Elliot (Iniured), Sarr (Fatigue) QUESTIONABLE: Etebo (Injured) THE PREDICTION There is no denying that West Ham have stuttered recently, losing their last two Premier League matches. However, this encounter presents an ideal opportunity for them to get back to winning ways. Watford have accrued just two points from their most recent nine top flight games including a 1-4 loss to the Hammers in the reverse fixture at Vicarage Road. Whilst this one is likely to prove a closer affair with the Hornets a tougher outfit defensively, West Ham should still have too much for the visitors and are expected to get back to winning ways in the Premier League. Tip: WEST HAM TO WIN



Things Aren't Looking Good For Giannis Antetokounmpo
Things Aren't Looking Good For Giannis Antetokounmpo

NBA All-Stars have been announced, but Giannis is getting taken for granted. #NBA #Giannis #LeBron Gaming/Streaming- @MJPLAYSALLDAY Twitter- @MJ2KALLDAY This is meant to be a quick video because I don’t even know how much I’m supposed to believe in this, and I hope you don’t believe in this. Somehow we’ve become desensitized to Giannis’s greatness and we’ve forgotten. We need to give Giannis his flowers. The guy who put up 50 points, 14 rebounds, and 5 blocks in the closeout game of the NBA finals while oh yeah still handling the ball at the age of 26 last year is now suddenly less than the guy who “we don’t know what he’s going to bring” Ja. No disrespect to you man, you’ve been great, but not MVP. The MVP race has been evolved. Steph was the runaway until the Dom Curse...and well the slump is real. Durant is unfortunately injured which leaves 3 players. The guy who can’t shoot, the boring guy who can’t run fast and Joel Embiid. **Well that’s what the media would want you to believe which again I hope you don’t.** 3 international players, I’ve made a video on Nikola Jokic and why no one cares about him. And Joel Embiid is getting some credit, only takes a streak like this, but we’re here to talk about Giannis because what he’s doing this year is again, ridiculous. In just 32.7 minutes per game, he’s averaging 28.6 points, 11.3 rebounds, 6 assists 1.5 blocks while shooting 53% from the field and a 60.1% true shooting. So even when he’s top 5 in the league in scoring, top 5 in rebounding, top 10 in blocks, top 5 in PER, for years, fans, media, they all get bored. To the point where they stop caring unless he breaks this new standard, not just maintains it. Nevermind that actual improvement in his passing. It’s similar to MVP voter fatigue, phenomenon when one player wins MVP over and over so people crave for something new. The first was with Kareem Abdul Jabbar who won MVP 6 times in 10 years so they changed the vote from players to broadcasters and sportswriters. Other examples include Michael Jordan in 1997 who was fresh off of winning MVP nearly unanimously in 1996. His stats dipped by less than a point, less than a percent field goal, and the Bulls won 69 games! Karl averaged less points, and less win shares and lost the finals to Jordan. And then next year, Jordan had a story, voter fatigue was gone and he won it again. You potentially say the same about LeBron in 2011. He had won in 2009 and 10, but moving to the Heat made him villain number 1 and so despite having better stats than Derrick Rose in nearly every category Rose and having similar records, Rose won. Before the NBA bubble, Giannis was dominating the league, 29.6 points and 13.7 rebounds a game with 5.8 assists in 30.9 minutes a game with the highest PER in the league, highest plus minus in the league, the best defensive player in the league, DPOY, the Bucks with the best record in the NBA. But people were tired of Giannis being at the top even without succeeding in the playoffs and so there was another narrative, another player: LeBron James. Even though the Lakers weren’t as good, even though LeBron was 9th in PER and his teammates Anthony Davis was 4th, even though MVPs couldn’t happen if they were playing with another MVP level player, the agenda for LeBron was pushed. Yup, LeBron despite playing with Anthony Davis who himself was averaging 26. The question with Giannis was always the playoffs and even with that, we saw progression, year by year, figuring out the wall, physical perimeter defenders, big men, all that to average 30.7 points including 35 points per game in the finals, and be dominant defensively. That gave him respect that he deserved for a long time comin, but still not the respect he deserves right now. I understand that stats have become inflated, I understand that records are being broken constantly now, but we should take everything else into context. We don’t even need to compare raw stats. There are only 3 players in NBA history to win MVP, DPOY, and Finals MVP. He’s the first player in NBA history to finish top 20 in 5 major stat categories. Giannis relative to his peers simply put is dominant, above and beyond. But we’re used to him dunking on people, making the craziest blocks, handling the ball at 6’ 11”, post fadeaway, euro stepping. We’ve truly become desensitized. I’m not saying that we need to think that Giannis is MVP, but we need to acknowledge what he is doing. The hype Ja is getting right now is without any accolades, without the best achievements in the sport. Imagine if he had a few MVPs, was doing what Giannis is, we would never hear the end of it.
