Jalen Rose's Grantland series continues to be one of the most entertaining mini-series on YouTube. In this week's episode, Rose address' Kobe Bryant's historic 81 point game against his Toronto Raptors.
In the episode Rose retells the events that occurred with much humor. Rose recalls that the Raptors actually held the lead in the beginning of the game, and Bryant was held to a mere 20 points in the first half.
Then things got ugly.
To Rose's surprise, he watched what he called "history in the making" as Bryant went on a serge in the second half.
"He did not say a word," Rose said when talking about Bryant's dominance.
When asked why the team didn't force a double team on Bryant, Rose said it was the decision of head coach Sam Mitchell to continue one-on-one defense.
"We told Sam Mitchell, 'Hey coach, think we might wanna double team that guy, make someone else beat us?' It might help."
The video is very humorous to watch and what makes it all the more interesting is the way Rose completely throws coach Mitchell under the bus.
Rose makes it seem all could've been avoided if coach Mitchell had a different approach on the matter. This wasn't the first time in the series that Rose made Mitchell looking bad, however.
All-in-all the video is hilarious if you're a true basketball fan because it gives you the story not in a typical documentary form but in a relaxed "let me tell you what happened" conversation.
