MANILA, Philippines – Kobe Bryant is 34 years old and a 17-year NBA veteran. Nevertheless, he is still fully capable of pulling off surprises on the court every now and then.
Against the Brooklyn Nets on Wednesday, Bryant turned back time with a spectacular tomahawk slam over Gerald Wallace and Kris Humphries, wowing viewers.
In the play, which occurred in the closing minutes of the game, Bryant beat his man Wallace off the dribble then threw it down against him and Humphries. Talks about the move immediately circled around Twitter.
Bryant wound up with a team-high 21 points to power the Lakers to 92-83 win.
So much for an old man.
