Kobe's 63 points in 3 quarters against the hapless mavs...and eventually outscoring them 63-62....

Talking about singlehandedly outscoring a solid west team???

how about kupchack since kobe's pleas of being traded while the world was focused on LBJ?

 

or raja bell since kobe's no-show at the game 7 2006 first round vs. phx where he scored 1 measly point in the whole second half.

The Japanese brought Ju Jitsu to the Brazil, and Yuki Nakai brought the Brazilian modification to Japan. Yuki Nakai is the first Japanese BJJ black belt, and the story how is that of (you guessed it) legend.

 

Yuki Nakai was sent to the VTJ tournament as a representative of Shooto, the lightest competitor in the event. Yuki's first match up was against UFC 1 finalist Gerard Gordeau, a 50+ kickboxer from Holland. Yuki overcame his size advantage by relying on his already excellent ground game. But in that fight he was inflicted with an injury that would affect not only his career, but his life. Gerard decided that it would be a good idea to gouge Yuki's right eye in order to make the match more even in his favor. He failed obviously, but he didn't in permanently blinding Nakai's right eye. After 4 rounds, Nakai finally secured the heel hook. This was just the first fight of the night.

 

Yuki Nakai was treated with a 250+ pound wrestler in Craig Pittman as an opponent. The size was an obvious factor in the fight, but as a true tactician Yuki displayed superb technique over strength in getting Craig in a flying armbar. The 155 lb fighter, the smallest in the tournament, has just made it to the finals. His opponent? A legend himself: Rickson Gracie.

 

The fight was fairly competitive, but Rickson's size and technique were too much for Yuki when he fell to an RNC late in the first round. The term "samurai spirit" and the word "heart" are thrown around much on the MMA message boards, sometimes undeserving. But if we to choose one person to fit that definition above all other fighters, it has to be Yuki Nakai.

 

Yuki, impressed with Rickson's Jiu-Jitsu, went to Brazil and started training. He became the first Japanese black belt in BJJ, and his school, Paraestra, altered the Japanese MMA scene in bringing in a new breed of grapplers. His school has branches all over Japan, with their most recognizable team member (to westerners at least) being Shinya Aoki.

 

Yuki Nakai is a legend.
