During Tuesday night’s 108-99 victory over the Houston Rockets the Lakers had their fair share of highlights. One of the main offensive catalysts for Los Angeles was Kobe Bryant, who surpassed the 30-point mark for the first time this season, finishing with 37 points.

However, two of those 37 points were a little more dazzling than the rest. During the first quarter Bryant tossed the ball off the backboard to himself before finishing the layup for two points.

It’s hard to determine what’s more remarkable, the play itself or that we’ve seen Bryant do this probably a dozen additional times. Regardless, it was an exciting moment from an overall well-rounded Lakers performance.
