They showed it Wednesday night in the regular-season finale when KobeBryant's 3-pointer at the end of double overtime gave the Lakers a105-104 victory over the Portland Trail Blazers, and, more importantly,the Pacific Division title.

As impressive as his final shotwas, it was nothing compared to the one at the end of the fourthquarter. Bryant, tightly defended by Ruben Patterson, twisted andturned to get himself enough room to launch an off-balance fling as hefell to his right.

Afterward, Bryant gave Patterson an autographed pair of his shoes.

"The win wasn't important for me, it was important for the team," Jackson said. "But getting the win is twice as nice."

Bryant, who scored eight of his 33 points in overtime, swished home thegame-winner, then ran with clenched fist to the other end of the court,chest-bumping with teammate Devean George to celebrate his biggest shotof this very young season.
#16 - Jan 12, 2006 - Lakers 99 - Cavaliers 98 [source]

"It looked like they went into a zone coverage on the inbounds pass,and that side was wide open," said Bryant, averaging 35.7 points in hislast 10 games.
#23 - Jan 31, 2010 - Lakers 90 - Celtics 89 [http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/recap?gameId=300131002]source[/url]]

Boston has not been able to make good on thetraditional "Beat L.A.!" chant since winning 131-92 to clinch the 2008NBA championship here in Game 6 of the finals.
#24 - Feb 23, 2010 - Lakers 99 - Grizzlies 98 [http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/recap?gameId=300223029]source[/url]]

Kobe may have the better career, its possible.. but everyone knows Jordan was the better player.

2 of them I notice weren't on the list for Kobe was the Winner vs Dallas this year Jan. 13th 2010 and the 3 he hit in the finals to send it into over time which the Lakers won. Not sure if the would count though.
 
Why do the Lakers need all these GW's? With those three giants they have holding down the middle the starters should be resting by the fourth like the old Bulls did...
