Black Mamba vs. Toronto Raptors

I can't help but ask myself as I watched the ending of Lakers vs Raptors, what is it about the Raptors that makes Kobe just play out of this world. Remember that 81 point game? It was against the Raptors. Now, this past Friday night, Kobe single-handedly tied the game in the last minute of the 4th quarter to send it to overtime.  Kobe (5:40 mark in the video) hit a 3 that as he was taking it, I said "There's no way that's going in." Man, I was wrong. Then, he hit another ridiculous three. He hit an even more ridiculous three, DEEP from three point range to tie the game and send it into overtime. Overtime was fun to watch as well. Kobe drove into the paint and sealed the game with a gift-wrapped dunk. Not one Raptor wanted a piece of Kobe at the end. As all this happened, I couldn't believe what I was watching. I've been watching Kobe my whole life and still don't know how he does it. How he never ceases to amaze me. Shouldn't we all have been used to this by now? Shouldn't the Raptors know to put the whole damn team on Kobe by now? When will the Raptors learn? They're going to have nightmares about Kobe, as if they don't have enough of those already.
