It was just another day at the office for Mamba 24 as he casually tossed in a spectacular two-handed reverse layup with the greatest of ease and hint of nonchalance; something like, “Yeah, I’m damn good and things like this? Too easy.” In the off chance that his acrobatic layup didn’t drive the point home, Bryant also scored a ho-hum 40 points as the Lakers ended their two-game losing streak against the Pistons.

It was Bryant’s 100th career 40-point game, the third most in NBA history, trailing only Michael Jordan (173) and Wilt Chamberlain (271).
