Kobe the Magician

Orlando is supposed to have the magic on game night but it seems as if Kobe Bryant is the one with the magic every game. Ever since the playoffs began Kobe's been scorching the opposing defense with his shooting and ability to effortlessly get to the rim and draw fouls. The real reason he's been dominating can't really be explained. Why you ask? It's simple, Kobe is a magician and the best closer in the game.

Kobe Bryant has been killing the competition ever since he came to the league. He made the All-Star team in his second year in the league. He's been a scoring machine as shown with his 2 scoring titles. He's won 3 championships and he's currently working on title #4. He has shown us all in the past that he is the game's best player and best closer. This year in these playoffs he has risen to the occasion once again and has reminded us of his dominance.

He's been making sweet music on the court thanks to his quick 1st step and long shooting range. He has been an iron man too by averaging over 40 minutes a game in these playoffs. He has been shouldering the load of the Lakers organization and the dreams of all his teammates as he tries to lead them to a title. He is trying to do what eveyone said he couldn't do: win a title without Shaq.

Kobe's magic isn't like Houdini's magic or Earvin's magic. Kobe's magic is the kind of magic that would make you stop watching the season finale of your favorite TV show just to tune in to watch a Lakers game with only 20 seconds left. The reason you tuned in was because you wanted to see Kobe try to hit the game-winning shot. You don't even like the Lakers but you love Kobe and that's why you tuned in. That's the influence that Kobe has on people and his reputation is world renouned. He makes you want to see him do what he does best and when he hits the game winner you'll be happy you tuned in. That's just Kobe, he's a magician and if you're lucky you just might see him pull off his greatest trick ever, leading LA to a title, again.
