The Kobe Effect = empty-stats chucking on a team that isn't winning anything? Sounds about right.
Kobe Bryant has been advising Isaiah Thomas regularly since the start of the playoffs.
Bryant began helping Thomas after the Celtics lost the first two games of their first round series to the Chicago Bulls.
"He wanted to go over film with me. He called me and we did it. He made me figure out a lot of things... He's just been a very helping hand when it comes to the film and figuring out what to do the next day."
Thomas had 53 points in Game 2.
"He's been sending me a text before and after every game since the first round. He definitely helps. He just tells me what he sees and what I should be watching for in film," Thomas said.
Thomas was surprised at the detail Bryant paid attention to.
"Mentally, he's just on a different level than anybody I've ever met. We were on the phone for 30 minutes. I e-mailed him my film and he watched every second, telling me what times to go to look at and certain plays and things I didn't look at when I watched film. Mentally, you can tell he's one of the greatest ever."
whats Duncan been up to?

Going to Whataburger to buy vaseline for Lamarsha Softridge
Kobe: "So right here.. I'd shoot that"
IT: "That's the opponent's end"
Kobe: "So?"
IT: "Ok.. what about this one?"
Kobe: "Oh yeah, I'd shoot that"
IT: "But I don't have the ball here"
Kobe: "Gotta shoot that"
Ad nauseum
Kobe called IT. Kobe trying to keep his name in the talk during the playoffs per par because he couldn't do it when he was playing.
Getting more air time in the playoffs retired than you got in your past 4 years playing =
What's Tim doing? Retired, not regretting it, still getting paid though.
What's Kobe's angle here? Why is he helping the Celtics, that's blasphemous if you ask me...![]()
:lol Pretty much.
Kobes angle is...Kobe. As it has always been.
Same as it's always been: taking credit for other players' accomplishments.
BJ Armstrong Jr's game is nothing like Kirby's, so I'm not sure what Kirbs could've taught him.

Most influential player of his era, tbh, along with Ginobili..
Kawhi didn't train with kobe..I know media wants him to be Kobe 2.0 so bad..
That said, Didn't Popvich publicly said He wanted Kawhi to have the mamba mentality.![]()
Celtics lose by almost 30 points
Isaiah: 13 points on 3-9 shooting
So this... is the power... of The Kobe Effect...
Thread backfired lol
3-9? He ain't playing like Kobe.
A) he didn't fire 25 shots.
B) he whit over 30%
