Kobe Bryant went full Magic Johnson against the Rockets
Kobe Bryant was in a very giving mood Sunday night.
The Black Mamba played only 24 minutes against the Houston Rockets but managed to squeeze in nine assists, including a number of sick passes.
There was the no-look variety.

That last one moved Kobe passed Jerry West (6,238) and into second on the Lakers' all-time assists list. He still trails Magic Johnson, who had 10,141 during his illustrious career.
