The Jazz were eliminated before the game started.  And you could clearly tell the Jazz (one of the most physical defensive teams in the NBA) backed off when he was driving.  The fact that he can't create separation anymore isn't the same thing as "the Jazz were all over him".  They pretty clearly were fine with letting him shoot.

I'll be honest; I fell asleep just before the comeback (I think he had 45 or 47 points when I fell asleep), but up until that point, the game had basically been a joke.  I understand it was cool to watch for Kobe fans (ex: friend of mine flew from Rochester to watch Kobe live in person for the first and only time last night and I'm sure he was going ballistic), but this was such a terrible basketball game, mostly because of the fact that he was forcing it in ridiculous amounts and the defense wasn't trying very hard.

At the end of the day, he's still an all-timer, but once I saw what the game was going to be like, I was really just watching for the laughs.
