Even though the Los Angeles Lakers haven’t picked up a win yet this season, the return of Kobe Bryant has given hope to fans everywhere that he can continue to carry the team through this tough stretch.

Kobe highlights have already come in full force this season as he threw down a ferocious dunk last night against the Los Angeles Clippers. Coming into a back-to-back against the Warriors, Bryant’s legs were probably a little weary, but that didn’t stop him from making another outstanding play.
Late in the second quarter, Kobe made a beautiful drive past Shaun Livingston. He was met at the rim by Warriors center Festus Ezili and as Kobe elevated he went around him and under the rim, flipping the ball up towards the rim.
What looked like a miss would bounce around on the rim before dropping through the net for the basket and the foul. The highlight was one of the few in the first half for Bryant, who struggled with his jumper. But it was just another reminder that Kobe is still a force in this league.
