Kobe or Lebron? Kobe or Lebron? This week saw two of the NBA's premier players put all-time career performances. In the very same building on back to back nights. Kobe blew into Madison Square Garden setting a scoring record for a visiting player with a shattering 62 Pt's.
Not to be out done King James would make a little history of his own. On Wednesday Lebron went on tear becoming by he first NBA player since Kareem Abdul-Jabbar in 1975 to have a 50-point triple-double. Lighting the Knicks up for 52 Pt's, 11 asst, and 10 rebs. Clearly inspired to top Kobe's performance in MSG from the previous day.
These dual virtuoso performances have once sparked the question of whose the true heir to the Jordan throne. I can't wait to see the two collide this Sunday.
The story that isn't getting much play is the continued floundering of the New York Knicks. Once one of the league most respected franchises, the Knicks have spent nearly an entire decade being the joke of the NBA. From Isiah Thomas' reign of terror and utter confusion, the insane antics of Stephan Marbury, poor roster choices, bad spending, and losing season after losing season. Now they've hit another low giving away over 100 points to just two players is a real problem. What can be done to turn this team around?
