The LA Lakers is one of the best franchises in NBA wagering probabilities history, and Kobe Bryant is actually the all-time leading scorer for the team. Bryant is not only the best Lakers player ever but will be remembered as one of the all-time greats in basketball wagering history when his career finally ends. To go down in the books as perhaps the best player in such a distinguished franchise's history is quite an achievement.

He's picked up MVP awards, scoring titles, All Star MVPs, been first-team anything in his NBA wagering probabilities career and made loads of cash. But the loss to the Boston Celtics in the 2008 NBA Finals wagering action is still a blemish on his illustrious basketball wagering career at this point.

This probably motivates Bryant most importantly every time he takes the floor in an NBA wagering game. And now, to face the team that grabbed an NBA wagering title from him 2 years ago has to be an especially sweet tasting treat.

That loss was a tough one for Bryant personally as he wanted to show to the entire basketball wagering world that he could get an NBA wagering title by himself - without Shaq. What's worse is that Kobe seriously wanted to validate his place among the sports wagering greats, and Shaq had already gone on to win another NBA title without Kobe.

Kobe has since picked up an NBA title and his place among the basketball wagering greats is comfortable. But his is a shot to get even with the team that shut him down in the NBA Finals wagering series. Paul Peirce's suffocating defense neutralized his scoring ability, and Bryant didn't play well.

Two years later and 2 NBA seasons gone by, you can be sure Kobe hasn't forgotten.

Players like Bryant, or Michael Jordan or Larry Bird exist to play and rarely forget any individual slight or perceived slight on the court. Bryant has been at the ready for 2 years to get vengeance against the Celtics and particularly Peirce for the humiliation they caused him in the '08 NBA probabilities series.

He'll finally get his chance on Thursday.

NBA wagering probabilities list Los Angeles as -190 favorites to get the overall series. Los Angeles will have home court advantage in this series andthat may be all the advantage they need. They also have the best player in the league in Kobe Bryant and he is another reason they are favored. Kobe proved that he is still the leading player in the league in the series against Phoenix. Lots of people will mention LeBron James as the best player in the league but Kobe has won four championships whereas he has done nothing in the playoffs.

Los Angeles are the defending NBA champs but since they lost 2 years ago in the finals to the Celtics, they still feel like they have something to prove. Kobe's Lakers have beaten a lot of teams in the finals but they still haven't beaten Boston. Now Kobe and Los Angeles will get the opportunity at vengeance when this NBA Playoffs wagering series starts in Los Angeles on Thursday.
