As most of you may or may not know, the Lakers put on a clinic yesterday while beating the Thunder 101-85.  But it wasn’t just the beating that was awesome.  It was Kobe’s over the backboard antics that solidified the win and the obvious label of “best team in the NBA.”

Oh and by the way.  Are there still people out there that think Lebron James is better than Kobe?  Hahahaha.  Boy is that a joke.  You stick Lebron on the Lakers and are they as good as they are now?  The answer is not even close.   It would take James 5 years to learn that system.

Gasol isn’t even fully healthy yet.  Man this team is scary good.   I would love to see this Laker team fully healthy vs.  Jordan’s best bulls team.  Tough to match them up because of different era’s and physical makeups but still, it would be fun to watch.  I’d say Lakers in six.

In any event, Kobe’s shot was absurd, as are these five additional over the backboard shots.

Bird’s Amazing Shot over the Backboard

If you’re a shooter it’s really hard for Larry Bird not to be your favorite player ever.

Josh Shipp’s Shot Over Cal

Pretty amazing that this was a game winner

Rajon Rondo at the Buzzer

Pretty damned impressive. Why aren’t the commentators excited? Boy that was boring.

Iverson after the Buzzer

Too bad we won’t be seeing him any time soon

Best Shot Ever

Whoops, how’d that get in there!!!
