The NEXT: Game of "Can You Top This?"

Kobe's 61 with LeBron at MSG on Wednesday... this should be fun

Visit the 2009 NEXT universe.

The amazing thing about Kobe Bryant's 61 points Monday night at MSG isn't that he did it; if you've had even a passing interest (ha!) in hoops since 1998, you know that KB24 can score 60 almost every time out. The cool thing is this: with LeBron James in the middle of his 2010 drama , he shows up at his potential future home on Wednesday night. If you've ever read even one piece on athletes of this caliber (like this), ya know that competition drives 'em. Kobe and LeBron both know that "Kobe or LeBron" is a discussion had across America and the world. So if you're in the Big Apple Wednesday night, grab tickets to this thing. It could be an unreal show. (For the heck of it, we embedded a Kobe Bryant playing soccer video here.)
