Nick Johnson jumps over Ramon Sessions for the putback slam

Nick Johnson may be a second round rookie for the Houston Rockets but with Dwight Howard out he's been given a larger role on the team and is using his time to his advantage. This time he soars in for the putback slam, jumping over Ramon Sessions of the Sacramento Kings in the process.

Kobe Bryant hits 32,000 in win over Hawks

Kobe Bean Bryant passed another scoring milestone tonight as he becomes the 4th player in NBA history to score over 32,000 points. Kobe's last basket in a rare Lakers win over the Hawks 113-109 put him over the 32k mark. Bryant now sits less than 300 points behind number 3 on the NBA's all time scoring list Michael Jordan. The Lakers will not be making the playoffs and overall don't have much to look forward to this season but if Kobe continues to take every shot he wishes the Lakers season maybe won't be seen entirely as a loss, especially since Julius Randle's injury opening night. Jeremy Lin did play well in the win over the Hawks scoring 15pts and 10ast but it's his and the teams inconsistency that leaves the Lakers in disarray. Bryant currently leads the league in scoring with 27.3 ppg, the lone bright spot of the Lakers bleak season.
