Kobe Bryant appreciating thread.

[james evans]

He's done so much for the spurs organization. Ran shaq out of town in 2004 so that gave us an easy path to the finals in 05 and 07. Remained a gunner even in his later years scaring off Aldridge for us to sign him. Kobe has been good to us.

Also gave us some good laughs earlier in the year with that 1-14 shooting game vs. the Spurs, tbh..

I think Kobe is delusional. He needs to hope he can even finish out a season, He makes it sounds like the Lakers are going to revolve around him. His last injury was simply his body saying NO MAS.

It was funny seeing him pass the ball away, when Kawhi was on him. He knew he would have got embarrassed.

ya, I think he only took like 2 shots when Kawhi was covering him..


Not just Kobe, but it's nice seeing that glorified babysitter Phil Jackson fail miserably, tbh..embarrassing himself all year on Twitter by continuously saying the Warriors would fail, and now unable to get any decent FAs to even consider the Knicks, despite playing in NY and Phil Jackson's "winning" image..

Looking forward to more of that this season.

Kobe reminds me of Michael Corleone at the end of Godfather Part II. Sitting alone in the boat house. King, but king of a world he never wanted, unloved, haunted...

"You can be my Pau Gasol"

What an asinine thing to say.

Nothing better than seeing an All-NBA talent free agent choose San Antonio de Bexar over LA.

[cd98]

Cap killer all but guaranteed there wouldn't be enough room to add other players to support a Kobe/Aldridge pairing. Oh yeah, and Kobe sucks now.

Kobe vs Duncan right now...

One guy is still the foundation.

One guy is dragging the franchise down.

Tbh they could be just as bad this upcoming year. Another year on Kobe's frail body. Losing the tiny depth they did have in Lin, Davis, Boozer and Johnson. Their only hope is that Randle and Russell really show up. Very possible they keep their pick next year, which is top 3 protected .

They might be better, but barely..some people were actually predicting they would make the playoffs, last year..

They better hope Kobe stays healthy all year, since it will ensure they would probably keep their top 3 pick..

Lol Kobe.

Lol Lakers.

Lol can't sign anyone.

Lol hinging hopes on two rookies.

Lol set back five years because no balls in the from office to jettison the most over rated player in league history.

Lol Laker fans have nothing to say that is relevant, but 16 rings, right?

Lol living in the past.

[Mr Bones]

Kobe's last two seasons will go down in history as embarrassingly irrelevant disasters playing for a lottery team.
