Tuesday night, Kobe Bryant admitted his game needs to evolve in order for the Los Angeles Lakers to be a more successful team. He drove the message home by recording his 21st career triple-double in the Lakers' 111-103 victory over the Denver Nuggets.
Bryant, who had 23 points, 11 rebounds and 11 assists, played in an all-new 'Lakers' Nike Kobe 9 Elite PE. The high-top features purple Flyknit construction, a black heel, yellow logos and a grey outsole. As usual, this colorway probably won't hit retail.
