Bryant's teammate Lamar...

The final seconds ticked down and Michael Jordan slowly rose from his seat. He waited until the final buzzer and then briefly clapped.

Kobe Bryant was perfectly content to let Andrew Bynum and Pau Gasol do the heavy lifting in a grind-it-out victory over the Philadelphia 76ers. It had more to do with matchups than Bryant's left ankle, though.
