Kobe still doing work


Anyone who thinks Kobe Bryant is over the hill needs to re-think.

Especially after last night's 37-point, 14-rebound performance that garnered the 13-time All-Star his fourth All-Star game MVP.

"I feel like we have a sense of responsibility and we are voted in for what we do during the season, which is play hard," Bryant said in an AP article.

Most of the time, All-Star games are anything but playing hard, as the players show little defensive effort and seem to be only attempting to pad their points or throw down impressive dunks.

It certainly didn't hurt that Bryant played his best in front of his hometown crowd at the Staples Center, where he's played his entire NBA career.

He's the heart and soul of the Lakers' franchise, and in a season where they've found little to be pleased with, maybe Bryant's performance will revitalize them to make another championship run.
