Kobe Bryant knows that he just had an opportunity to do something that he had dreamed about for a long time...and he blew it.

 

This is a game that he had anxiously anticipated for four long years, although it had probably felt like an eternity.

 

The stage was set and the Lakers were facing elimination on the road in game six of the NBA Finals and they needed their star player to produce the best game of his 12-year career.

 

What did they get?

 

Four turnovers, one assist and lots of wayward jump shots.

 

Twenty-one to be exact— 81 points in a game, 62 in three quarters and the 2007-08 league MVP and he miss 21 jumpers in an elimination game!

 

Who is more equipped to handle these types of situations than Kobe Bryant?
