Why is being behind Karl Malone an achievement worthy of so much attention?

[midnightpulp]

When Kobe hit the FT that took him to 3rd on the all-time regular season scoring list and behind Karl Malone, I sat there beyond embarrassed as they stopped the game to honor such a meaningless accomplishment. I could see if Kobe ascended to 1st on the all-time scoring list. Now that would be kind of (it is a regular season record, after all) worthy of all the phony hugs from teammates and ESPN front page coverage, but he didn't. Nothing happened at all, actually. No records broken. No once-in-a-lifetime performance. Nothing. All we saw was a guy who's played since Grunge music was still relevant shoot himself into 4635 less points than Karl Malone.

I don't get it.

This is the equivalent of hanging a division championship banner or something.

Because the media holds MJ as the gold standard. Every-time Kobe steps on the floor a record is broken... his own.

[HemisfairArena]

I've stated how fanatical Laker fan has become about this scoring list but its relative because their product is poor. Who benefits more?,,,Duncan winning his 6th or Kobe passing MJ on the points list?

No records were broken tonight.

[midnightpulp]

But Kobe did a break a record this year.

The all time missed shots record :lol

[Clipper Nation]

Apparently third place is enough to stop a game and have a big celebration nowadays :lol

Kobe is the only player to go over 30k points and 6k assists... every-time he plays it gets broken.

[100%duncan]

:lol

[Thebesteva]

OP obsesses over Kobe but then asks why the media is obsessed with Kobe

[Michael Jordan.]

Kobe is the only player to go over 30k points and 6k assists... every-time he plays it gets broken.

Why do you bring up 6k assists like it means something? This Nigga played 18 seasons, and has a career average of 4.8 assists :lol

[Venti Quattro]

Two Lakers as top 3 scorers in the league. Props to Kareem and Kobe :tu

As does his missed shots record :lol

[Koolaid_Man]

First his team loses to Swaggy P and the Lakers and now this...what a horrible weekend for Mid

[Bynumite]

OP mad because Kobe is respected around the league and gets his props. Meanwhile, no one outside San Antonio, Cuck City USA gives a fuck about jim.

[Bynumite]

Agreed, Kobe never had the help jim has :downspin:

[HemisfairArena]

Lakers about to miss the playoffs two years in a row and that has never been done in 30+ years in Laker history under the Buss regime,,,thanks Kobrick 48.5

[Clipper Nation]

Kobe getting cucked by a pedophile.

[Malik Hairston]

It's not entirely about Kobe, it's also about Dad Killer, obviously..

The culture of old basketball media obsesses over these sociopath coons that play selfish basketball..

Lotta mad in the post.

:lol Celebrating 3rd place

And this is the fanbase that gives other fanbases shit if their team hangs a division banner.

But, not as influential...Amy, in association with Battier created 6.

[ambchang]

The more you think about it, the closer Malone and Kobe are.

High on career TO
High on career scoring
High on career missed shot
Chokers
Same taste in women

The only difference is one was carried to championships, and the other couldn't even manage that.

^I've never seen a championship fandom so angry.
