Hey Kobe...Don't Take the Bait

Kobe Bryant knows LaBron is watching. Kobe knows that Jerry West, a Hall of Fame Laker, stated publicly that LaBron has passed him as the best player on the planet. Kobe also knows that LaBron put up 49 points last night against Orlando. Message to Kobe...don't take the bait! We know you can score 50, 60, even 80 points in a game. We know you have the capabilities to surpass 50 points tonight, but don't take the bait. You have been longing for a supporting cast that can bring you a championship since Shaq was sent packing, and you have that now. We as fans have watched you mature into a team player, a facilitator who knows when to use your weapons and when to take over a game. You proved that in game 1 of the Western Conference Finals against the Nuggets that you can still take over a game....when needed. You have a great team and a very good chance to get to the NBA Finals. Remember your opponent is not LaBron James tonight, it's a tough and talented Denver Nuggets team who's looking to tie the series at a game a piece and take home court advantage. Hey Kobe, just play your game.....don't take the bait!
