Advice for Mr. Jordan

Clippers rookie DeAndre Jordan said after his breakout 23-point, 12-rebound game against the Lakers whether he knew he had that kind of performance in him.

``I'm just as surprised as you all,'' he said with a laugh.

Not everyone was so blase.

Jordan's monster dunks even seem to have caught the eye of the league's reigning MVP.

``He has a lot of talent man,'' Kobe Bryant said after the game. ``He's just got to keep on working hard to improve the other aspects of his game, shooting in particular. He's got a lot of potential.''
