LA TIMES

There have been so many critiques — shot selection continually attacked, accuracy analyzed ad nauseam and even his missed free throws under siege after a late-game collapse against Minnesota.

There could be nothing short of praise for Bryant after the Lakers' 129-122 overtime victory Sunday against the Toronto Raptors. His game was nearly flawless, his numbers showed a triple-double and he became the first player in NBA history with 30,000 career points and 6,000 assists, gliding over the latter plateau with a third-quarter pass to Wesley Johnson that led to a successful 12-footer."It's a huge honor. It means I pass more than people say," Bryant said after accumulating 31 points, 12 assists and 11 rebounds at Staples Center. So i think the lakers have been not donng so hit in this season but im pretty sure everyone has noticed their effort to wining games. And i hope that they could make it far this season. We will just have to wait and see for these other games to come.

The book i read was the hunger games a book writen by Suzane Collens. This storry follows the life of a 16 year old girl katness. And in this book she lives in a sort of dictatorship of a govt. and its not good for the people of the country. This book is probably the single best book ive ever read. I think that the fact that it was a violent kinda drew me to read it. I mean i read this book in 5th grade i thought it was really good. And there is also book 2&3. Ok a breif summary of the book-In a place once known as North America, now known as Panem, is a very rich City surrounded by twelve Districts. Every year because this very rich City, known as The Capitol, is so rich and likes to think they control all the Districts - which they do - there is something known as The Hunger Games! This is where two children, one boy and one girl from each district from the ages of twelve to eighteen, have to leave their families and compete in The Hunger Games, a live event that is aired on TV's all over Panem. When Katniss Everdeen, aged sixteen from District 12, has to volunteer to take the place of her twelve-year-old sister Prim after Prim's name is called forth to become the 23rd member to compete in The 74th Hunger Games she promises to Prim that she will win. Because District 12 is so poor, Katniss has been close to death many times from starvation but she's made it through it. But this is a different kind of close to death; this Katniss doesn't know if she can survive. She doesn't want to hurt, or kill anyone but when it comes down to it Katniss' instinct is to survive. But when she starts to have confusing feelings about the boy from her district who is also her fellow contender, things get worse, and then she teams up with the girl from District 11 and only one person can survive. But who will it be? Will her feelings get the better of her? Will she let someone else win so they don't have to die? If Katniss is going to win she's going to have to be brutal. She's going to have to kill. This is such a great book. A must read. Anyone who hasn't read this book must read it. This book will always stick with me as the best book i have read.
