My name is Alborz and I am the man behind ko8e.com,  Although I was an avid Lakers fan since 1999, my fascination with Kobe did not begin until the 2002-2003 regular season.  It was during that magical season that Kobe Bryant took his game to a whole new level and amazed me with his dominance of the game. Although Kobe Bryant has had several historic games this past season, most notably his 62-point and 81-point outbursts, one particular game had and will continue to have a very long lasting impact on me.  That game was on March 28th, 2003 during which Kobe Bryant in my opinion had his best game of his career. In his final meeting with Michael Jordan, Bryant unleashed a scoring rampage to finish the first half with 42 points.  Although he only finished that game with 55 points, it was on that night that I realized that I was watching probably the greatest player to ever play the game.  After that night, I also realized that since Kobe Bryant has the ability to score at will, any Lakers game has the potential to become a historic performance.  It should come as no surprise that since that night I have seen nearly every Lakers game.
