NBA Playoffs Last Night: Kobe Bryant One Bucket Away From +70

Mizzo posted 4/24/2008 from thestartingfive.net [flag]

Kobe Bryant was one point away from becoming just the fourth player in NBA history with a 50 point/10 assist game–a feat I call the +70. LeBron James had one this year against the Knicks, Stephon Marbury did it with the Suns and then you have to go back to 1975 when Kareem Abdul Jabbar accomplished the feat with 50 points/15 boards/11 assists.
