"You'd have to go back to Kobe's early years in the older-style Lakers uniforms, when he was throwing up air-balls against Utah in 1997 or missing potential icing free throws against San Antonio in 1999 to conjure up images of Bryant failing so badly in playoff crunch time. Since then he's accumulated tons of highlight reel plays that you see in the black-and-white ‘Where Amazing Happens’ commercials complete with the piano music." - Chris Sheridan, ESPN
Even the best player in the game had trouble focusing at the line when the game was on the line. Kobe who is normally rock-solid in pressure situations (85% FT), was a pitiful 5 of 10 from the line last night in the Laker’s 108-104 loss to Orlando.
