NEW YORK, N.
[b]Wholesale Balenciaga Sneakers[/b] .Y. - While Madison Square Garden was buzzing Friday night, so was Kobe Bryants phone. Carmelo Anthony was on his way to a 62-point night, moving past Bryants total of 61 that had stood for nearly five years as the record in the building. And plenty of people wanted to make sure Bryant knew. "I got a lot of messages from people saying Melos going after your record tonight," Bryant said. "Its amazing. He went to work. He got hot and didnt cool off." Bryant wasnt able to play when the Lakers returned to the building on Sunday, still recovering from a broken left knee. He said he had called Anthony, his friend and teammate on the last two U.S. Olympic teams, on Friday night to congratulate him. Bryant said that having the arenas record wasnt particularly important to him, but did stress how much the building meant. "This is the Mecca of basketball. Theres so much history here in the culture of the game, what this building means. This is the last one left in terms of all the history," Bryant said, naming former Knicks such as Willis Reed and Walt Frazier. "This is the last building left that carries that history with it." Anthony will have to decide this summer if he wants to keep playing in it. He intends to become a free agent, and the Lakers are frequently mentioned as a potential destination if he decides to leave. "New Yorks a beautiful place, dont get me wrong," Bryant said. "Palm trees and beaches, obviously a little bit more appealing." If Anthony does decide to stay, Bryant hinted that he may need to make it clear to the Knicks that he wont stand for losing. Thats what Bryant did when the Lakers had fallen from championship contention to barely playoff contention from 2005-07. "I think from a psychological perspective, as a player you dont want to get too frustrated about things you cant control, you know what I mean? So you have to find that balance," Bryant said. "At the same time, its important for the organization to understand the level of competitiveness that you have, that you wont tolerate having a team thats not in contention for an NBA championship, which is what I did. You rub a lot of people the wrong way, but sometimes youve got to kick down a few doors and (tick) some people off and trust that itll pay off in the long run. And if youre willing to do that, more times than not youll be OK."
