Jayne Kamin-Oncea-USA TODAY Sports
The Toronto Raptors seem to bring out the best in Kobe Bryant.
There was the 81-point game, of course, and on Sunday, Bryant became the first player ever to score 30,000 points and 6,000 assists in his career. He also just produced a total throwback game against the Raptors, finishing with 31 points, 12 rebounds and 12 assists in the team's 129-122 overtime victory.
And yes, that's a triple-double, the first for the Los Angeles Lakers superstar since April 2, 2013. It's the 20th of Bryant's career, tying him with Rajon Rondo for the second most among active players (LeBron James has 37).
In 1,262 career games, Bryant has averaged 25.5 points, 5.3 rebounds and 4.8 assists, making him one of just five players to average 25-5-4.5 for a career.
