Jeremy Lin spins by Derek Fisher: Kobe Bryant pass to himself off backboard, to set up an assist

A week ago you would have thought that the Lakers and Knicks game would have been all about Kobe Bryant, Carmelo Anthony and Amar’e Stoudemire. With Soudemire and Anthony out the Knicks have turned to Jeremy Lin. Lin has come over of nowhere to save the Knicks season. This game was Lin and Bryant putting on a show Friday night with the Knicks winning 92-85 and Lin got the best of Bryant.

For the game Lin had 38 points and 7 assists. Lin shot 13 of 23 from the field including 2 three pointers. Lin was 10 of 13 from the free throw line. Many times when he went to the line the fans chanted MVP. Lin’s most exciting points of the night came when he made Lakers point guard Derek Fisher look silly.

Off a Lakers miss shot Lin got the rebound and dribbled the whole way down the court until he got to the free throw line. There he put a ridiculous spin move on Fisher and finished the play by making a lay up. That move might have just put Fisher into retirement. Check it out below.

Bryant also had a solid game scoring 34 points and bringing down 10 rebounds. During the 4th quarter of the game Bryant throw a pass off the backboard to himself. Then he passed the ball to forward Pau Gasol who knocked the jumper.

This was Bryant’s only assist of the night but that was a remarkable assist. Not many players in the league are capable of executing that play like Bryant did. Check out video of the play below.
