With the Lakers winning away to the Atlanta Hawks on February 28. February of '97 is over, and it's March of the year.

There are many stories that happened in February, when Bryant challenged Jordan in the regular season and then in the All-Star Game, succeeding once and failing once. O'Neal's injury led to Kobe Bryant's single-core leadership, All-Star MVP, the youngest triple-double, the highest single-game score of a rookie, the largest half-time score difference and other stories all happened this February.

And at the end of February, there was such an incident as the bank robbery on North Hollywood Avenue in Los Angeles, although the Lakers players were in Atlanta, but Kobe's Blackwater security personnel used this incident to save a lot of people who should have had an accident, and at the same time, the rich circles in the United States heard about Blackwater's reputation, which made Blackwater instantly receive a lot of security orders.

With the end of February, the American professional basketball team has officially entered the final month and a half of regular season, and everything will be settled in this month and a half of games. Who is the MVP? Who will get home advantage? Who makes it to the playoffs? The best team, the best player, the best scorer, and so on, and so on, will all be decided one by one at this last moment.

Kobe Bryant didn't deliberately pursue anything, and he is currently averaging 29.3 points per game, just behind Jordan's 29.8 points and in second place. Karl Malone was third with a score of 27.4. Behind it was Queen Bee Glen Les with a 26.8 and Rock Mickey Ridgemond with a 25.9. Olajuwon's 24.7 points. Madman Ratril Sprewell's 23.9 points, Allen Iverson's 23.5 points.

Uncle Mu, Ewing, and Mason all have about 11 rebounds in the rebounding list, and Uncle Mu is slightly ahead.

On the assist list, Denver Nuggets' Mark Jackson averages 11.4 assists per game to the top. He was followed by John Stockton's 10.5, Kevin Johnson with 9.3, Speeder Rod Strickland, Damon Stoudemire, Tim Hardaway, Stephen Marbury, and Grant Hill close behind.

It's worth mentioning that the only player in the top 10 assists list is Grant Hill who isn't a point guard. Grant Hill has come a long, long way on the road of being a point forward.

On the block gang, the Lakers almost traded Shaun Bradley, Uncle Mu, and Mourning for the top spot, and the number of blocks of the three people is in the early 3s, and who will die in the end depends on the last month and a half of play.

In terms of steals, Gary Payton's steals have declined rapidly this season, and Murchibre Roque, an Atlanta Hawks guard, leads the steals statistics leaderboard under Wilkens' guidance - averaging 2.7 steals per game. Bryant ranked second with 2.5 steals per game, Gary Payton was fourth with 2.4, Eddie Jones was fifth with 2.4 and Allen Iverson was eighth with 2.1.

It's interesting to note that Allen Iverson is averaging 4.4 turnovers per game. The remaining madmen are 4.0 times for Ratril Sprewell, 3.9 times for Jerry Starkhouse, and 3.6 times for Tom Gogliotta.

In terms of turnovers, Kobe averaged 2.8 times per game, and even with a lot of balls in his hands, he still maintained a good turnover rate. Bryant's 20 years of professional experience is not comparable to Iverson's.

In the final month and a half of the regular season, this statistic may be subject to change.

And this month's Player of the Month is out. This month's Monthly Race is focused on Kobe Bryant and Glen Rice.

Kobe Bryant's achievements in leading the team this month should not be underestimated. 9-3, averaging 30.8 points, 5.7 rebounds, 7.6 assists, 3.5 steals, 1.6 blocks and 3.2 turnovers per game. Such a statistic is perfect, and the performances of several key battles on the stadium are even more surprising, leaving behind a lot of high-quality, legendary battles worth remembering.

It can be said that Kobe Bryant has done everything that a superstar can do this month, and there is no way to perform better than Kobe Bryant as any player. In terms of individual performance alone, it is enough to win the best of the month.

But on the other hand, Kobe Bryant's three defeats this month, losing to the Bulls, SuperSonics, and Rockets. They all lost to direct championship opponents, and although their performance against strong teams was not bad, there was never a record to support it. The Lakers want to go further in the playoffs, and this month's performance against strong teams will definitely not work, and Kobe Bryant alone has never been able to bring the Lakers a championship.

On the other side, Kobe Bryant's contender is Olajuwon, who is 11-2 in a single month, averaging 25.4 points, 8.9 rebounds, 2.5 assists, 4.1 blocks, 1.2 steals and 3.6 turnovers per game. Such a personal performance is obviously slightly weaker than the Lakers and weaker than Kobe. Olajuwon has a lot of top players around him, and he can share the stats for him, which makes his stats not dazzling.

Olajuwon's disadvantage is that his teammates are just too good and the team has helped him so much that he is at a disadvantage in the race for the Month of the Month.

Another very likely winner is Queen Bee Glen Rice, who led the Hornets to a 10-3 record this month, averaging 28.8 points, 3.5 rebounds, 2.5 assists, 0.9 steals, 0.2 blocks and 2.0 turnovers per game. He can be said to have single-handedly pushed the not-so-strong Hornets to the same record as a team at the level of the Lakers, Bulls, Houston.

Outstanding individual performance, outstanding team record. In addition, his teammates can be described as some stinky fish and rotten shrimp, such a performance is not outstanding.

Michael Jordan won the best of the month in November, and his performance this month is not amazing, compared to his daily life, it can only be said that it is decent, so the decent Jordan can no longer attract attention. SO HE WAS PASSED.

"It's hard to decide." David Stern sat in his office with his coffee, and eventually, with a stroke of the pen, fell on the man.

"Well, that's you, Wonder Boy. Let's take this opportunity to settle the promise of Bass by the way. Stern thought about it for a long time, weighed the pros and cons, and finally was willing to make an exception and give the best of the month to a hairy boy.

The final results were announced, and it was unexpected! But it makes sense!

Kobe Bryant was named the best player of the month in February 1997!

18-year-old best of the month!

Another honor to break history!

The youngest of the month - the Lakers' No. 8 Kobe Bryant!

Legendary February! Unbelievable February! A crazy February that will forever be remembered in the memory of Lakers fans, indelible.

It stands to reason that Kobe Bryant has no problem winning the best of the month! Individual performance, is the strongest player of the month!

60 points in three quarters! Three pairs! Lore Jordan! Slaughter all sorts of teams! All kinds of incredible performances, even if they lose in the strong confrontation, this is not a flaw!

This month's Kobe Bryant is the legendary Kobe.
