This is either scripted just for fun or possible scene for an upcoming role for a movie.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nEcjyzurazsThis is an interesting video of how Los Angles’ Staples Center is changed from a Hockey Arena for a Kings game into a basketball court for a Lakers game. This is a sped up version of what goes on between changes in the stadium. I found this to be interesting.
GREATNESS!!! That is all I can say for what happened at 6:30 PM ET, January 22, 2006 STAPLES Center, Los Angeles, CA. History was made, Kobe went off on a scoring clinic against the Toronto Raptors. 81 POINTS in a game and I was able to witness history and NBA greatness. The seventh anniversary of Kobe Bryant’s 81 point game has come and pass and for the first time Kobe has sat down and watched his performance. While he watched Kobe Bryant posted on his Twitter account and commentated about his performance through his tweets. “I can’t believe I’ve never watched this game till now.” The embedded video will catch you up on this greatness.
