Spurs: Popovich: "All my Kobe memories are when he beat us. They're not very fun.''

How'd he fare in 05, 13, 14, 15...?

[Jzone]

Coach Pop telling it like it is tbh

[midnightpulp]

Kobe was great against us. I think his '08 series is the best playoff series he ever played in his career. Some might bring up '01 against the Spurs, but Kobe was going against corpses on the perimeter.

Still not a top 10 all-time great, though.

More like derek fisher memories. All the memories of kirby for me are great.

So pop didn't have too many memories of Kobe.

Pop was a suspect coach due to not repeating

Top 25 though, I'd think.

Pop didn't remember LMA and he was sitting on the bench.

Kobe killed us, no doubt.

Pop always been a fan of kobe, tbh

All trolling aside, will be sad to see Kobe go. The guy, along with TD and KG are living time capsules back to my middle school days. 's crazy how long they've been in the league. It's just too bad only TD is earning his paycheck.

[BatManu20]

Pop ain't lying, tbh.

[Cry Havoc]

Kobe was tough to deal with when he was on teams loaded with talent, for sure.

[Kawhitstorm]

Key word: "Memories"

[lefty]

As I said, Prime Kobe raped the Spurms

So was Adam Morrison.

Kobe is a got, nothing more.

[Ice009]

Pop went to Kobe's house in the 2004 off-season to see if he had any interest in signing with the Spurs. So I think it's safe to say that Pop was as fan of Kobe.

Yeah, I'm going to miss Kobe, though his career has been over since 2013. I'll always hate the Lakers, but I still watched most of their games in the threepeat era since I was living in LA and since it was amazing basketball. Shaq + Kobe is easily the greatest duo I have ever seen, damn that team was a ing monster to try to match up with.
