2003 NBA Playoffs - Western Conference First Round - Game 1 www.basketball-reference.com Kobe drops 39 points...28 in the first half as the Lakers stomped the T-Wolves to take Game 1. I am surprised nobody has uploaded this game, because Bryant went on a tear. This game is special to me because it was the first time I got to see Kobe Bryant play live. As a resident of Minnesota, I only get excited for the strong opponents. I feel this game is overshadowed by Kobe's game 5 performance in this series...a game that featured "THE DUNK" uploaded by LakersRule24 www.youtube.com I made sure I finished this video for MLK day. I wanted a special video on this special day.
