"Dirt" has 1...count em' 1 game at 40 points this season and 13 in the last 10 years, Kobe has 3 this season & 99 over the last 10 seasons & has been 1st in this category 6 of the last 7 years & is 1st right now.
Against the "Mav Nots" Kobe has scored 62 once...52 once...40+ 3 times & 30+ 13 times.
"Dirt" has scored 30+ against the Lakers 3 times in his career, NEVER 40 or more...
But the real story is that fact that Dirk scored 40, outscoring Kobe once again.
Dirk - 2 Kobe - 0
Advantage - Dirk
After the game, reporters spoke with a few Lakers fans about Dirks performance. All three fans agree that Dirk is worth more to the NBA then Kobe is. Later that evening, the reporter noticed his wallet was missing.
