Kobe or Ginobili next year ?

[steeledl]

Kobe decides he wants to play one more year...... Limited minutes and take a lesser role? Who has more left in the tank ?

[ElNono]

Kobe and limited role in the same sentence... OP probably recently started watching basketball...

[Mouth is Bleeding]

Kobe is one of the worst players in the league.

I suppose he could do better with obv adjustments but that's been said for years.

[Mouth is Bleeding]

I could see him coming back though tbh

and if Spurs actually wanted him, he would be very tempted I'm sure.

You're not planning on driving tonight are you?

[K...]

he's def better in the martin role than martin is. Probably can shoot threes better than patty or green. Pop would love that he wouldn't hesitate to shoot.

[steeledl]

Kobe and limited role in the same sentence... OP probably recently started watching basketball...

He knows where he is at in his career..... He is just on a worthless team so he doesn't give a fuck .


he has supreme respect for Pop..... He would take a lesser role if the Spurs wanted him and he wanted to play.

[ElNono]

You're not planning on driving tonight are you?

:lol

Meanwhile, this niglet is 14-34... 3-16 from downtown :lmao

[ElNono]

He knows where he is at in his career.....

No he doesnt... what part of sociopath you don't get? It's always been all about him :lol

[Clipper Nation]

The Spurs already have Kobe. He just plays point guard instead of shooting guard.

[steeledl]

No he doesnt... what part of sociopath you don't get? It's always been all about him :lol

meh, I think you are wrong.... Irrelevant because it is highly unlikely and completely hypothetical. Kobe is a legend and an ultimate competitor.... He would relish the opportunity to take a lesser role to compete at this point in his career.

[HarlemHeat37]

Kobe wouldn't be retiring if he had anything left in the tank, tbh..

[steeledl]

Kobe wouldn't be retiring if he had anything left in the tank, tbh..

kobe is still better than 50% of the players in this league..... He is just playing a role that doesn't suit his current skill set on a dumpster fire team .

[cd98]

Kobe is too proud to take a Manu role. Most superstars are the same way.

[Mouth is Bleeding]

he is on 40 shots right now!!!

5 for 20 on threes looooooooooooooooool

[KDKSpurs24]

he is on 40 shots right now!!!

5 for 20 on threes looooooooooooooooool
I'm enjoying this though, tbh! :lol

[steeledl]

Its his last game ..... It's meaningless...... Props to him. I love the fact that he is going out guns blazing. Fun as fuck to watch..... People are tuned in for Kobe not the lakers vs Jazz.

[steeledl]

This is a fuckin joy to watch. I'm getting sad as the clock winds down .

[Mouth is Bleeding]

I'm enjoying this though, tbh! :lol

yeah the kobe way to go out. seems like the perfect ending for him

[Mouth is Bleeding]

he is gonna die on the court

dead tired now and cherry picking

[steeledl]

Lol at Spurs haters bagging on him for giving the fans what they paid top dollar for in a otherwise meaningless farewell game. Such haters....


You would think you would be able to get past the pettiness of the great rivalry and appreciate the guy for the legend that he is.

Maybe if you'd move his dick out of the way of the screen, you'd see how much of a pathetic role-playing chucker he's always been.

That at is a stupid take. You don't even believe that dumb shit so why post it ?

[Dro210]

He wanted to win this game bad... He's pissed even tho he's gonna get 50. Which was awesome to watch, even if it took 50 shots to get there. It's what we all wanted.

[ElNono]

damn, is this a HarlemHeat37 troll? :lol

[Dro210]

Awesome...might get his W after all

[steeledl]

This shit is fucking amazing

[SAGirl]

Frankly I enjoyed all the Lakers game this season. Kobe showed up to make them fun as did Clarkson and Drussel.

To answer your question: hypothetical... Manu. Who knows with Manu? Might be his last and he won't say it until he's played it bc he will not want to distract from the rest if the team and what the younger guys are trying to accomplish.

[ajh18]

Would be great to see Kobe in that silver and black.

i would vomit.

[KDKSpurs24]

This shit is fucking amazing
I'm hype!! :lol

[steeledl]

Fucking respect. I'm legit sad.

[Mouth is Bleeding]

respect and this is very entertaining!

But sad thing is that this could actually add to his legacy which is so overblown already...

perfect final salute from Kobe

[ElNono]

lmao he just broke his own chucking record

[lilbthebasedgod]

If kobe would be willing to be limited role, then him easily. But it's just not who he is.

I'll give you my take. Kobe is still good. He's just not good enough to chuck like he does.

[steeledl]

Awesome...might get his W after all


Glad ad there is a non hater amongst Spurs nation

[dabom]

damn, is this a HarlemHeat37 (http://www.spurstalk.com/forums/member.php?u=11597) troll? :lol

OP is just a shitty poster tbh. :lol

No one ever replies to the guy so what better way than to be completely wrong so people make fun of you. But he got his attention. :lmao

[HarlemHeat37]

Kobe will be missed, tbh, there will never be another player like him..

I could never like him, his entire style is suited for people from the suburbs, he's one of the fakest niggas in the history of entertainment, but we'll never see a player like him again, tbh..

[HarlemHeat37]

He should have retired after the 2013 injury, tbh..would have preserved some of the legacy points he lost with new-media and the analytical movement..

[Budkin]

Wow what an ending!

[RD2191]

60 points on 50 shots:lol

[lilbthebasedgod]

"The funniest thing about tonight was for 20 years everyone was screaming that I should pass the ball, but tonight everyone was screaming to take the shot"

[Old School 44]

If Kobe comes back, do we have to do this league-wide "I'll miss you Kobe love fest" again? Does he have to return all the parting gifts?

[ajh18]

Kobe leaving like this and Tim leaving with a title would be the perfect representations of their respective careers.

[steeledl]

If Kobe comes back, do we have to do this league-wide "I'll miss you Kobe love fest" again? Does he have to return all the parting gifts?


No and no. But no one in the NBA community would be upset if he took a lesser role on a championship contender. It would add to his legacy.

[steeledl]

"The funniest thing about tonight was for 20 years everyone was screaming that I should pass the ball, but tonight everyone was screaming to take the shot"

That was hilarious . :lmao Literally laughed out loud .

[Spur|n|Austin]

Ending his career with an assist. How poetic.

[DAF86]

Let Manu take 40 shots and he would probably get 80.

[steeledl]

All bullshit aside....Im sad for you as a basketball fan if you didn't enjoy that. That was a great moment in NBA history. The basketball community is overjoyed.... Check Reddit or any other NBA forum. To be bitter must suck .

[steeledl]

Manu couldn't do what Kobe did tonight. That was special .

[DAF86]

Manu couldn't do what Kobe did tonight. That was special .

It wasn't 40. It was 50 :lmao

No..... You couldn't . You couldn't get off 50 shots if you tried. You'd get ripped on nearly every possession .

[Capster]

Seriously? Kobe would be a terrible fit for
the Spurs! He is a egomaniac!

[DAF86]

No..... You couldn't . You couldn't get off 50 shots if you tried. You'd get ripped on nearly every possession .

No, because I would probably get all alone. I seriously could probably get around 30 pts on 50 wide open shots, tbh. :lol

[Capster]

i would vomit.
Me too!

[Kawhitstorm]

Kirby turned down a contract to play in Spain for Barcelona :lol

Reggie at 39 scored 39 AGAINST Kriby on 18 shots but the Kirby fan club is going to claim he couldn't put up 10 air-balls while jacking up 50 shots. :lol

Great moment in history in a fuckin' meaningless game where someone scores 60 on an NBA record 50 shots including a bunch of airballs.:lol

I'm pretty sure it will be encapsulated on those "60 Greatest Playoff Moments" DVDs.

[steeledl]

Meh, done arguing this....Kobe is not the antichrist you want to claim he is. It was a great moment in sports history for an NBA legend... That's All. I enjoyed it and I hope others did too because these moments and players are few and far between.

I agree. Don't see what that has to do with people sucking off a role player for shooting 50 times against a lottery team in a meaningless game, though.

[skulls138]

Kobe Bryant...a Hall of Fame career, ended with class...and thats not even counting the win, cheers!

[DenialTwist]

I enjoyed watching Kobe take the Warriors spotlight with his 60pt game over the Warriors love fest on ESPN. Draymond gave a speech like they just won the championship. Glad some attention was toward Kobe's last game. It was also nice to see Pop on the jumbotron talk about Kobe.

[SupremeGuy]

Stupid question. Unless we can trade green and porker for something, useless bullshit question.

[DAF86]

That I could agree with. You saying Manu doesn't have a chance of doing what Kobe did, with the freedom of taking everyshot he wants is what is bullshit. Manu > Kobe at this point. Mainly because one is an ex-player, but still. :lol

[NameLess Scrub]

As far as letting go of my dislike for a bit since he's retiring, I think it's cool he got to score 60 one last time and win.
Shaq had asked him to score 50, half joke I guess, and he said No right away.
From a personal standpoint it's nice.

From a basketball standpoint, it's good for the Lakers he's gone. He should have retired or at least taken better care of his body about 6 years ago.

If he very hypothetically came to play for the Spurs, what role could be fill? Manu's role?
Could he defend or be a spot up shooter?

[Tully365]

I've never been a Kobe fan, but that last game was pretty impressive... Still, if you look at his stats objectively, this season has been a complete disaster. His FG% was at an all time low and the number of 3pt attempts he took with the lowest high volume 3ptFG% in the league is really just inexcusable... The Warriors and the Spurs played the right way this year-- that's why I watch basketball. High volume inefficiency, hot-dogging, and disinterest in wins/loses is more of an entertainment spectacle than it is actual basketball.

[Texas_Ranger]

i would never want this piece of shit rapist on this team. I'd rather have Manu and he can even have 5 to's a game.

I don't know that he's got enough left. Certainly can't make plays like Manu. Also, I don't know that he'd fit in even as a decent spot up shooter. He's played his whole career looking for his shot...more so than ever recently. I'm not sure he could break that mentality and be part of a system that requires moving the ball around. I think it'd get to Kobe and he'd either take the open shot or take a couple of dribbles to see if he could get an open shot. I think a swing pass would be the last option and it would bog the whole thing down.

I can't imagine him and Parker on the court at the same time.

[DMC]

If Kobe retired after 14 years I could see him coming back. After 20, no.

Being accused of rape ≠ being a rapist. Just look at the Zach Randolph situation.

The fuck has that to do with the premise of your thread? which is Kobe over Manu for next season.

Manu > Kobe right now. Manu > Kobe this season. And Manu definitely > Kobe the next one.
