Kobe's Bryant's Namath-like guarantee that the Lakers would make the playoffs has some teeth now that the Lakers have broken the seal to the eight seed. Realistically, L.A. now has a shot at the sixth seed and Bryant's heroics have even given his MVP candidacy a real bump.
I find it rather amusing that Laker fans are rejoicing about being an 8 seed.

Kobe Bryant 3rd greatest ever, no way he's letting his team miss the postseason this late in his career.

Lakers win! Dwight put up 16 points, grabbed 21 rebounds and blocked 4 shots. Oh, and the Lakers are now… instagr.am/p/WsaAyYtcg-/
