My Name is Kobe Bryant

With February 28, the Lakers beat the Atlanta Hawks away. February 1997 came to an end, and time entered March.

Many stories happened in February. Kobe challenged Jordan in the regular season and the All-Star Game. He succeeded once and failed once. O'Neal's injury caused Kobe to lead the team with a single core, the All-Star MVP, the youngest triple-double, the highest score in a single game by a rookie, the largest half-time score difference, etc. Stories all happened this February.

At the end of February, there was such an incident as the bank robbery on North Hollywood Boulevard in Los Angeles. Although the Lakers players were all in Atlanta, Kobe's Blackwater security personnel used this incident to save many people who should have had accidents. At the same time, the wealthy circles across the United States have heard of the reputation of Blackwater Company. This incident caused Blackwater Company to receive many security orders in an instant.

With the end of February, the NBA has officially entered the last one and a half months of the regular season, and everything will be settled in this one and a half months of games. Who is the MVP? Who can get the home field advantage? Who can make it to the playoffs? The best lineup, best player, scoring, etc. endless honor, will be decided one by one at this last moment.

Kobe didn't deliberately pursue anything. He currently averaged 29.3 points per game, only lower than Jordan's 29.8 points, ranking second. Karl Malone ranked third with 27.4 points. Behind them are Queen Bee Glen Rice with 26.8 points and Rocky Mitch Richmond with 25.9 points. Olajuwon's 24.7 points. Madman Latrell Sprewell scored 23.9 points and Allen Iverson scored 23.5 points.

Rodman leads the rebounding list, averaging around 16 rebounds per game. Uncle Mu, Ewing, and Mason all had around 11 rebounds.

On the assists list, Mark Jackson of the Denver Nuggets ranks at the top with 11.4 assists per game. Behind is John Stockton's 10.5, Kevin Johnson's 9.3, Speeding Rod Strickland, Damon Stoudemire, Tim Hardaway, Stephon Marbury, Grant Hill followed thereafter.

It is worth mentioning that only Grant Hill is not a point guard among the top ten players in the assist list. Grant Hill has come a long way as a point forward.

In the block group, Sean Bradley, who was almost traded by the Lakers, Uncle Mu, and Mourning competed for the top spot. All three blocked shots in the early 30s. It will depend on the performance of the last month and a half. .

On the steals list, Gary Payton's steals have declined rapidly this season. Mucci Brayrock, the Atlanta Hawks guard, leads the list of steals under the guidance of Wilkens-averaging 2.7 steals per game. Kobe ranked second with 2.5 steals per game, Gary Payton ranked fourth with 2.4 steals, Eddie Jones ranked fifth with 2.4 steals, and Allen Iverson ranked eighth with 2.1 steals per game.

The turnover list is interesting. Allen Iverson averaged 4.4 turnovers per game. The rest of the madman Latrell - Sprewell's 4.0 times, Jerry Stackhouse's 3.9 times, Tom Gugliotta's 3.6 times.

In terms of turnovers, Kobe averaged 2.8 times per game. Even with a large number of possessions, he still maintained a good turnover rate. Kobe's 20 years of professional experience is not comparable to Iverson.

In the last one and a half months of the regular season, this data may still change.

And this month's player of the month also came out. This month's best of the month competition is mainly focused on Kobe and Glenn Rice.

Kobe's single-core team's achievements this month should not be underestimated. 9 wins and 3 losses, averaging 30.8 points, 5.7 rebounds, 7.6 assists, 3.5 steals, 1.6 blocks and 3.2 turnovers per game. Such a statistic is perfect, and the performance of several key battles on the stadium is even more surprising, leaving behind a lot of high-quality, legendary battles worth recalling.

It can be said that Kobe this month has done everything a superstar can do, and there is no way for any player to perform better than Kobe. In terms of personal performance alone, it is enough to win the best of the month.

But on the other hand, Kobe lost three games this month to the Bulls, Sonics, and Rockets. They all lost to their direct championship opponents. Although their performance against strong teams was not bad, there was still no record to support them. The Lakers want to go further in the playoffs. This month's performance against strong teams is definitely not enough. With Kobe alone, there is no way to bring the Lakers a championship.

On the other hand, Kobe's competitor is Olajuwon, who has 11 wins and 2 losses in a single month, averaging 25.4 points, 8.9 rebounds, 2.5 assists, 4.1 blocks, 1.2 steals and 3.6 turnovers per game. This kind of personal performance is obviously slightly weaker than the Lakers and Kobe. There are a lot of top players around Olajuwon, who can share the data for him, which makes his data not dazzling.

Olajuwon's disadvantage is that his teammates performed really well, and the team helped him too much, which put him at a disadvantage in the competition for the best of the month.

Another player who is very likely to win the best of the month is Queen Bee Glen Rice. This month he led the Hornets to 10 wins and 3 losses, averaging 28.8 points, 3.5 rebounds, 2.5 assists, 0.9 steals, 0.2 blocks and 2.0 turnovers per game. He can be said to rely on his own strength to push the not-so-strong Hornets to the same record as a team of the Lakers Bulls Houston level.

Excellent individual performance, outstanding team record. In addition, his teammates can be said to be some stinky fish and rotten shrimps, such a performance is not bad.

Because Michael Jordan won the best of the month in November, his performance this month is not amazing. Compared with his daily life, he can only be said to be quite satisfactory. Such a satisfactory Jordan can no longer attract attention. So he was PASS out.

"It's really hard to make a decision." David Stern sat in the office with a cup of coffee, and finally, with a swipe of the pen, it landed on that person.

"Okay, it's you, Mystery Boy. Take this opportunity to settle the promise of Bath." Stern thought for a long time, weighed the pros and cons, and finally was willing to make an exception and give the best of the month to a On the hairy boy.

The final result was announced, unexpected! But it makes sense!

Kobe Bryant was elected the NBA Player of the Month in February 1997!

18 month best!

Another honor to break history!

The youngest best of the month-Kobe Bryant No. 8 of the Lakers!

In terms of emotion and reason, Kobe won the best of the month without any problem! Personal performance is the strongest player this month!

60 points in three quarters! Three pairs! Kill Jordan! Slaughter all kinds of teams! All kinds of unbelievable performances, even if they lose in a strong confrontation, this is not concealed!

Kobe this month is the legendary Kobe.
