The only thing that could whip Lakers fans into such a frenzy during the regular season has to be Garnett, right?
Zhang Yang had heard that Garnett made the Staples Center feel different, but witnessing it firsthand was still shocking... he wanted to take him down!
The big screen went dark, and the spotlight hit the home team's entrance tunnel.
As the DJ announced the first name and the first player ran out onto the court, Zhang Yang's aggressive thoughts faded and the pressure set in...
Jason Kidd!
Followed by Kwame Brown, Morris Evans, Garnett, and Kobe making their entrances in succession.
Kobe, playing in 20 games, averaged 36 minutes, scoring 27.3 points, 5.4 rebounds, 4.6 assists, 1.8 steals, 0.5 blocks, with a field goal percentage of 47.6% and a three-point percentage of 36%.
Kidd, playing in 20 games, averaged 31 minutes, scoring 10.8 points, 7.5 rebounds, 8.3 assists, 2.1 steals, with a field goal percentage of 39.5% and a three-point percentage of 40.6%.
