Is it the greatest "last game" in Sports history?
Yes from the greatest to ever lace em up
I remember Derek Jeter having a pretty good one
In a regular season, yes.
Playoffs?
>Peyton Manning
>Ray Borque
etc,
But desu it's my personal favorite last game because Kobe is based.
>>66808853
that would be michael jordan
Just as planned. Stern could never get these ratings.
Steph Curry hasn't retired tho
>>66808853
Jordan played?
>>66808868
I know. But Kobe is my greatest ever. I'm 24. Not lucky enough to witness mj. You know bro?
:'(
>>66808807
Nah, pretty meaningless. No team in the NBA would have tried to shut him down.
>>66808867
>Peyton Manning
the fuck? he was fucking garbage in the owl
I mean Peyton literally won the Super Bowl in his last game
>>66808867
>Peyton Manning
Peyton Manning didn't do shit, wtf are you on
Easily. That game broke twitter. So much fun
>>66808941
They literally doubled him on many occasions. Go back to your meme team. We real niggas here.

David Robinson's last gme was pretty dope. 13/17 and a ship
Prolly not.
>>66809029
13 pts 17 boards that is
>>66808918
Old fag here. From someone that witnessed both and is a dye in the whool Laker fan, I'd have to give to MJ with Kobe a close second behind.
tfw you will never witness the furious competitive edge by both Kobe and Jordan because today's players are too entangled with social media and worried about what other people think about them.

that was easily one of the most entertaining superbowl games of all time, let alone an amazing game for Lewis which resulted in a victory
>>66809029
>Not even close to 60
That's literally an average game for Deandre Jordan. How many players can score 60?
>>66809072
that's complete bullshit, you just witnessed two teams take the entire regular season as serious as the playoffs from Game One. Get off your high horse.
>>66809157
On 50 shots? I'd say most
>>66809116
The Jazz were in the playoff picture until literally 15 minutes before tip off
Warriors fans just butthurt they won 73 and no one gives a shit
>>66809128
>being mad because you saw your neighbor jackoff through your window while you were banging your solid 7 gf

>>66808867
>Peyton Manning
are you fucking 12? He was garbage. Much like he was that whole season.
Michael Jordan if he hadn't ruined it with that spell at Wizards
>>66808853
Well I guess it was the Warriors last game of the regular season for now.
>>66808807
Yup scoring 60 points on 50 shots in a meaningless game which might end up costing your team their lottery pick. Definitely the greatest.
>>66810077
>might end up costing your team their lottery pick.
Why? Lakers are WAAAAAAY behind
>>66810077
> "your" team
Kobes retired m8
>>66808868
This is true if the dumbass didn't go to shit wizards
>>66809170
And most people will agree that if they dont win the championship now it will be the single most embarrasing thing to happen in the NBA
There is a reason people pace themselves in a marathon.
>>66810110
>not knowing they traded away a protected pick
Kek
MJ's last game as a Bull. Twice retired.
Michael Strahan won the SB.
Jerome Bettis the same.
David Robinson retired a champion.
>>66808867
I'm a Bronco's fan, and even I can recognize that Peyton did shit this season
>Kobr confirmed for most based sendoff game of all time

Most people are fucking idiots then. There's nothing embarrassing about it.
>>66810176
>t. Steph Curry
>>66810156
they still have the second worst record, their chances would've stayed the same even if they lost
>>66808928
This desu
Where does this rank amongst the all time clutch performances?
>>66808807
Who is Ted Williams
>>66808807
jordan could have gotten the best last game but he fucked it up when he came back as a wizard
>statpadding in a meaningless game after leading his team to literally the worst season in franchise history
What a great way to go. Truly legendary, could not think of any better way
>>66810156
>>66810077
>japan
Nah Bourque had the GOAT last game
Anyone who considers Jordan's last game as anything more than a glorified globetrotters gig is retarded
His last game was game 6 against the jazz, and his last action was hitting the game winning shot after willing his team, almost single handedly, to victory in the 4th quarter
>>66809111
Fucking this.
>>66808807
How much did he dope himself for this last game? His eyes looked really dark, almost like on a overdose
>>66810176
Are you steph curry?
>>66808928
Kek. Too bad he is remembered more for his chimpout that cost his country the world cup than any of his accomplishments.
>>66808970
>twigger
>greatest last game
>not a championship game win
0/10
>17-65
the only stat that matters
>>66811776
Doesn't matter. As a Peyton fan, will always remember his last championshit game where he played horrible and got bailed out by his defense, much like the season.
People won't speak of (most won't remember when the historic aspect of it matters) the Lakers bad season. They'll remember the Black Mambaaaaaa, scored 60 in a win as his last game.
>>66809111
Nah man gotta be Carter
>everyone doubted him
>"he's too old"
>does okay in the lead up but is evidently past his prime
>plays the best fucking game of the second half of his career in the world cup final
>clinch as fuck drop goal
>fucking nailing shit all around
>so based that he got man of the match AND won player of the year just for that one fucking game
>>66810801
>only quarter the lakers get smashed was when kobr was on the bench
dunno why people are all "muh 50 shots", he was efficient with it today and they looked a lot better when he had the ball than anyone else
>>66811883
Carter didn't retire and still schools the cumsaders damn near single handily at racing metro
>>66811846
I only remember Kareem's last game because Detroit rekt LA for their first championship lol.
>>66808928
>Literally SINGLE-HANDEDLY drag his shit country to a world cup final
>Your final act as a professional footballer is to knock-out a cunt with your head
Truly no better way to go out

>playing retireeball in france
>not retired
>>66808807
This is bait right
Americans don't actually believe this
Right?
>>66811973
>still playing
>retired
reminder that if the ABs new 10 shits the bed, they will use carter.
>>66811961
that's one of the few World Cup moments I actually remember
>>66811985
If Jordan had called it fucking quits like he should have with that last Jazz game in 98, instead we got a handful of seasons of Wizzullets that nobody wanted.
Probably not the GOAT last game among all sports, but ranks up there in NBA history.
>>66812006
No but like there are numerous examples in dozens of sports of players bowing out with a world cup or a league trophy or a legendary performance in a final. You can't seriously say a game in which he was handed the ball repeatedly for no reason other than it being his last game is greater than those.
>>66811990
reminder that Carter literally wasn't even the first choice 10 last year until Cruden did us all a favour and killed himself
>>66812013
Nor am I saying that, but it's pretty amazing for an old guy to even get 60 points at his age in that sport, doesn't happen every single day.
>>66809185
Are you stupid? Most guards can't make 20 shots on 44% let alone 50. Learn basketball.
Are people really this ignorant about basketball? I know big numbers confuse you but he ended 22/50, 44%. That's considered good for a guard. That's higher than James Harden's season average. Ended with +7, went 5/5 down the stretch to bring them back and take the lead. A great performance, period.
>>66808807
Maybe if he'd actually won something in the last game then yes it would have been great.
>>66812056
They can when there is little to no defense played against them.
>>66812217
it happens Canabro, most people have trouble fathoming numbers beyond 7 digits
> Americans only know athletes from their domestic sports
>>66812217
You had me until you mentioned Harden
>>66812543
So?
>>66812548
Why not mention Harden? He's currently the best SG in the league and by far and away the best offensive SG in the league. Comparing Kobe's numbers to Harden's makes perfect sense
>>66808807
>Is it the greatest "last game" in Sports history?
A regular season game that was meaningless?
Can Kobe fans just go the fuck away? He was the only guy that even shot for his team. Do you think Utah even gave a shit?
>>66811846
>As a Peyton fan, will always remember his last championshit game where he played horrible and got bailed out by his defense, much like the season.
No..it won't. Just like that doesn't matter 5 years after the fact. Than again most 18 years don't know how things are remembered.
>>66812217
It may as well been a preseason game. Utah missed the playoffs a couple games ago. They gave no shits about this game.
Yeah Kobe is great except his bloated contract made the lakers a lottery team the past couple season. Legend.
>>66812581
I think generally great players in any sport tend not to have a last great game in their last game at a level that Kobe did ... more often than not, they throw 3 interceptions, give up 3 goals, have 3 different guys tag HRs on 'em, shit like that, or they blow out a knee or an ankle and limp off and whatnot.
I know I've watched sports a long fucking time, and I'm probably going to remember both the 73 wins by GS and the 60 pts by Kobe in his last game until I peace out, so yeah.
Kobe is a great player and all but he should have retired 2-3 seasons ago, instead of statpadding injured as fuck for those miserable seasons, also taking 50 shots is classic Kobe, so yeah, nothing special.
>>66812632
>stat padding
>implying it wasn't solely for bank padding
>>66812632
he had 40 million reasons to keep playing
>>66812647
I'm sure he could have gotten some assistant coaching role or something had he wanted it, but I guess he really wanted them stats.
>>66809072
Yep... It's over.
>>66809170
>two teams
One team
That's cute that you thought the Spurs were trying
>>66810176
It'll be considered a pretty big failure. Everyone will be saying they shouldn't have gone for the record, that they burnt themselves out. In reality, they'll have just lost to a better team.
