60 point game for kobe bryant. you could not have written this. leader, legend, icon. in his 20 yea rs leader, legend, icon. in his 20 years in the nba kobe bryant shaped basketball like few had ever done before. his remarkable talent only matched by his devotion to winning, and breaking records of the legends he grew up watching. he inspired a whole generation of young athletes, he was one of the first ones to leave high school to come to the nba and do so well, dominating the game becoming one of the best scorer is that the los angeles lakers the best scorer is that the los angeles la kers has the best scorer is that the los angeles lakers has ever seen. hejoined the la lakers after angeles lakers has ever seen. he joined the la lakers after being drafted from high school atjust 17 and spent all 20 of his professional seasons with the team he followed as a child and alongside shakeel 0'neill a child and alongside shakeel o'neill led them to the first three of his five nba titles. he is fourth on the all—time scoring list in the

nba with a higher score of 81 points ina single nba with a higher score of 81 points in a single match, 18 time all—star and the most valuable player in 2008. the same year he won the first of two olympic gold medals, beijing and later in london. his legacy spread well beyond the basketball court, his brilliance admired throughout the sporting world. he was so competitively burning hot on his desire to win, he brought it every night on both ends of the floor are not too many guys say can sit —— not too many guys can see that. after retiring he sought out to improve the future of the sport he loved, committed to improving the women's game and coaching youngsters. in youngsters. —— coaching youngsters in la, the legacy where his legacy was built. when he retired the lakers did not require onejersey but when he retired the lakers did not require one jersey but two. a legend
6:36 pm
of the sport that masked all —— legend of the sport that basketball will never forget. let's get more reaction from closer to home, and the british basketball league, our correspondent fiona trott has been speaking to players from newcastle eagles. words cannot describe what he has done. for people who have been playing this game since they have been going up, it was michaeljordan and kobe bryant. it was kobe. it was not just basketball, it and kobe bryant. it was kobe. it was notjust basketball, it was the mentality of keep pushing and keep fighting. that will stick with me forever. growing up, i kind of followed his career and he made everything, the success i've been able to enjoy today, he made all that possible because he was just a regular everyday person and that's why he is soby love it because he was just a regular guy —— he is so beloved.
6:37 pm
everything he stands for is a reflection of myself and that's why this news has hit me very hard. remembering kobe bryant. england cricketers have romped to another big win over south africa. they won the final test by 191 runs with a day to spare to take the series 3—1. chasing an unlikely 466 to win, south africa started the day solidly, with rassie van der dussen leading the way. he eventually fell just two runs short of his century off the bowling of mark wood. two more wickets fell before wood got vernon philander out, in what was his final test match for south africa. the tail didn't put up much resistance, wood with the last wicket, his ninth of the match. it is only england's second test win away from home in four years and the first time they have won three matches in south africa in over 100 years. and to think that this started off being called the cursed tour as a sickness bug affected the squad around their defeat
6:38 pm
in the first test. we've had a lot to deal with on and off the field, we've stayed very tight as a group, as a unit, and showed a huge amount of courage. for a young set of players, to take opportunities like we have, and for the senior players to provide an environment where they felt comfortable to do that is a sign of a growing team and a team that has got the sky is the limit. it's been a big fa cup weekend, bournemouth face arsenal in the last of the fourth round ties tonight, before that it's the draw for the last 16. there are still a few replays, shrewsbury head to anfield to face liverpool next week after their heroic comeback yesterday butjurgen klopp says he'll give it a miss as will his senior squad and he'll put out the under 23's and their coaching staff. that's because next week is supposed to be their winter break, here's the former liverpool defender glenjohnson.
6:39 pm
it is definitely the standout game, liverpool started well and took their foot off the gas and this is why we love the fa cup, the underdogs grit their teeth and dug in and got a great result. with juergen klopp‘s comments, i think, i don't think he will do that, i think you will show up. i think he was frustrated with the result and the interviews come quickly after the game. you understand he's got very busy periods. i think it would be slightly disrespectful and he does not seem that sort of man, he carries himself so well in pretty much everything he does. i think he would have said that after the game but i think you will show up but if he wants to play the younger guys then of course that is within his rights and that does not mean he is putting the competition down, he will still pick a team that he thinks can win. that's why i think you will turn up in the end. —— i
6:40 pm
think he will turn out in the end. glenjohnson, also an fa cup winner with portsmouth, will be taking part in that draw live on the one show on bbc one at around a quarter—past seven. right now though it's time for the fifth round draw for the women's fa cup, let'sjoin sarah mulkkerrins, sarah. welcome along to the draw for the fifth round of the women's fa cup. after all the action at the weekend, we've got 17 teams remaining — one match is going to a replay between southampton women and crystal palace — with eight ties to be drawn. and we've got a stellar line up here to conduct it all. two former england stars. shoring things up at the back — goalkeeper rachel brown finnis. and someone who struck fear in defences as a winger, sue smith. well come along. when we look at the weekend, rachel, the glamour type was the manchester derby and that sent out to be a pretty crazy game. end to end, united came back into
6:41 pm
its but manchester city going from strength to strength and with nick cushing leaving, that was his last fa cup match. manchester city, defending champions, will be in the draw. no major upsets. we look at arsenal and chelsea as the big contenders. all the games finished as we would have expected but i was impressed with arsenal, they were beaten by chelsea the previous week so they wa nted chelsea the previous week so they wanted a result and they played west ham who were in the final last year. good result for them and also chelsea and they are the teams to look out for. lets get on with it. we have the balls in front of us. we will give the go —— gboly goalkeeper‘s —— we will give the goalkeeper the back to hold. number nine. bristol city were taken
