>Kobe's last game is tomorrow night
Good. Bout time.
When he's retired he can stay out of the spotlight and write poetry.
I've been calling for him to retire for two years.
>>66778170
Would read kobrs poetry 2bh.
>yfw he doesn't score a single point
THINKER: Did he deserve to have this type of retirement?
No respect from other teams and his current team is absolute shit.
Kobe is statistically the worst shooter in the league, if not the worst player

Overrated money pit
>>66778202
no but the lakers deserve to suck

>mfw he tears his ACL in the first quarter
These two will retire this year the way Kobe should have. Without a farcical retirement parade .
>>66778134
Anybody think he will shoot over 25% ?
>yfw he scores 500 points and then disappears never to heard from again
>>66778134
Kobe's game will never end. He'll always play ball by reincarnating into young players like Westgod, his son.
7/52 shooting scores 32 on mostly free throws
leaves breaking a jordan record ;)
>>66778134
kobe retired 2 years ago
he should go into coaching
>rapist chucker retires
Thank god
>MFW they have to try cause the jizz are trying to make the playoffs
>tfw couldn't get tickets I wanted
fuck you casuals for ruining this shit
>>66778713
>not knowing "a guy" who can always find you tickets for your team's games no matter what the occasion is
look at this casual
>>66778713
>buying tickets
>not getting them for free with ticket giveaways at your work
Lmao
NBA really fucked this up
they have golden state trying to get 73 and then kobes final game at the same time
>>66778256
The International Brigade of Spurs Fans at it again. No one gives a shit about your NBA opinions, or about either one of these two (future HOF), tbqh.
>>66778845
Nah, he's right, unlike Slowbe those two aren't gigantic look at me fagets
>>66778768
>>66778770
oh I got tickets, my cousin and his buddies work for all the stadiums here in LA but they weren't exactly what I was looking for
>mfw the Lakers burned 50M dollars for 2 years of nothingness from the worst player statistically in the league
>>66778949
More like they wanted to give him the money in gratitude for 5 champions hips.
>>66778976
whatever you want to call it
>>66778206
Bunch of bad shot makers ranked with him. It's a facet of the game.
Also I'd rather see Kobe carry the team and brick 70% than watch the rest of the league.
It's about the art of it.
>>66778949
That's the funniest part of it. A season of pre-game circlejerking when the postgame is all about how he's averaging a -35 +/- on the year
>>66778999
Slowbe's latest creation
>>66778999
Don't bother. You're arguing with a new breed of sports fans. They'd rather watch the box score than the actual game.
Those who have played at the highest level (Jordan, Oscar Robertson, Larry Bird etc.) have nothing but praise for Kobe. Leave it to the nerds like BSPN to talk shit.
>Having a retirement parade lasting a year as if that person is Michael Jordan when in actuality that person is not even top ten all time
Kobe being overrated as usual, nothing new to see
>>66779022
The art of brick laying
>>66778202
He went to 7 championships in 10 years, won 5, 7 Western conference titles, 3rd in all time scoring, all time high scoring PT games vs other teams don't fall below 40. Should other teams respect him? No. He fucked over all the Western teams that were championship teams like the 2000 era Kings and trail blazers and even kept the spurs from winning more. Its not the end of kobe's era, its the end of the Lakers era and it's time to rebuild. Nothing lasts forever pal. You don't know shit about basketball Pedro so go back to some bull fighting thread
Will he ever be surpassed in missed shots?
He had such a terrible front office that attributed the accolades of two big men and Fisher to him, and so gave him leeway to shoot his 35 shots a game at a 30% clip for 15 years. Then when he's officially done they say no come back for 5 years and we'll pay you 150 million to shoot 10%.
Under normal circumstances, a chucker would have to spent 30+ years in the league to even think of passing him. Is there a perfect storm scenario that would enable it to be broken?
You know what? Kobes was a great player , but he didnt play for the team, thats way he faded into obscurity.
>>66779090
>he faded into obscurity.
You don't know shit texas. Stay in your soccer threads.
>>66778256
based ginobili. hope they atleast reach the finals this year
>>66779099
Really? i think right the Lakers should have retired him 2 years ago , they could have a way better team right now.
>>66779086
maybe if harden plays forever and doesnt get hurt
>>66779114
Lakers dont want a good team. They want a championship team. It isn't their time yet with the Warriors peaking and FAs available the past 2 seasons.
>>66779114
>they could have a way better team right now.
Well it was super important for Jeanie Buss that he finish his career as a laker so she threw a bunch of money at him. Buss family without Dr. Buss is pretty dumb.
>>66778183
me too, famalama. i thought he should've retired two years ago. it wouldn've saved the lakers two seasonsof sinking with his ego.
>Kobe is so old he was on the cover of a fucking Sega Saturn game
>>66779170
>he's so old he played when hearn was alive
>>66779143
They should make cold hearted decision.
If hes is disturbing the flow of the team, dont fucking play him., hes way past. The managment fucking sucks.
>>66779135
Shit , this post is expecting a good fucking team without work , get fucked into irrelevance you fucking dumbshit.
>>66779177
They're the Los Angeles Lakers. Again proving you don't know shit.
>>66779177
To be fair, they strived during the Stern era which was symbolized by not working for it
Jordan just waited for everyone that kept cockblocking him to either retire or join his team., and he allowed the Lakers to traderape people repeatedly with under the table deals so they ended up with top 3 players while giving up D Leaguers.
So the Buss kids that grew up during all that just think it will handed to them
>>66779183
They will not win a championship with this management in ten fucking years because they are shit and the fans will leave because they are fucking plastic. You have a shit team.
>>66778134

Some part of me wishes he would play for the league minimum, come off the bench as a 6th man and beat Kareem's record.
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar 38,387
Karl Malone 36,928
Kobe Bryant* 33,464
Michael Jordan 32,292
>>66779228
How? Do you even maths?
He'd have to average over 20.0 points a game for exactly 3 seasons without missing a single game to break it.
>>66779228
>surpassed the most missed shots record while still almost 10k off Kareem's points
max kek
And with how he's shooting now, he'd seriously have to play until he's 50 to even think of it
I'm genuinely sad bros. Kobe has been my favourite player since I started following basketball like 15 years ago. I'm taking tomorrow off work so I can watch the game.
>>66779251
This is the reason the emus won
Soft
I was always more of a Shaq guy myself
>>66778713
>not knowing a Laker PERSONALLY and letting him fuck your girl for nosebleed seats
point at him and laugh!
>>66778134
So?
I don't see the big magical farewell for Duncan.
Fucking overrated brick chucker

I envy him. The guy has been shitting up any thread that mentions Kobe for at least half a decade.
End of an era which should've ended 5 years ago.
>>66778206
which means jack shit Harry, he's nearly 40 and coming off an ACL injury
meanwhile in 40 years your mom still haven't learned how to speak English

Tony Parker is the only one who should retire, he's total trash.
>>66779050
>kobrick
>top ten all time
Westbrook isn't retiring what the fuck
>>66778949
you act like this is a bad thing
in LA people love loyality and after being dissed by the owner of the hornets he took that loyality to another level
people got to remember the 90s lakers weren't perennial contenders
kobe era was by far the greatest breathe of fresh air this team has had.
He don't have a incompetent management just a incompetent owner who will probably be replaced soon. We can rebuild within 1-3 years and go back into the playoffs no problem unlike other teams .
first starts with the firing of our coach
About time. This Kobe tour has been ridiculous
RIP KOBR
