I hope so. He deserves it.
I've been noticing a trend around the NBA, where teams and commentators commemorate Kobe's last away game in their city. For example, what happened the other night in Oakland when Kobe played his last game there.
Will the Spurs do something similar? Did they do anything along those lines with Michael Jordan back in 2003?
The league is riding this Kobe Farewell Tour like a horse. Think about all the stories about Spurs vs Lakers during Kobe's career. That's almost worth a whole pre-game show by itself. It may be technically up to the Spurs, but I think you should count on some kind of ceremony.
Kobe. He doesn't deserve from the spurs.
If I remember right, MJ either didn't announce he was retiring, or he announced his retirement pretty late.
Last trip to Denver is March 3rd. They should get him a trip to the spa in Eagle, CO.
Spurs should give him a chance to go up against a 44 year old Bruce Bowen and see if he can break 50% from the field.
I don't recall a tribute for Shaq, Malone, Hakeem, or any of the other great Spurs' "villains" who were all-time greats. And I doubt LA does anything for Tim, even if they knew when he was retiring. Why would we do something for Kobe?
The Spurs will do something similar to what other teams are doing to the Lakers, and that is put a wicked beatdown on them and embarrass that got-ass franchise and their ty lottery picks.
Remember in 2001 when Kobe pretty much tore us up singlehandedly and make us look like complete chumps? That was nuts.
Interested to hear what Sean has to say aboot it at gamenight. He and I share the same visceral hatred for Los Angeles.
Hopefully nothing, the catering to this attention needs to stop
Tim will hand him an "L" & send him home packing. Maybe a facial from Kawhi...![]()
This. Can't wait to boo his ass out of town for the last time.
is farewell tour bull .
That was frustrating as .
Who gives a . Just play the game and if at some point players want to give him dap and say farewell then so be it.
The only people in SA who care about his farewell tour are fat Mexican bandwagon laker fans who've never been to Cali and bought a jersey because that's what cholos do.
wouldn't put it past the spurs to have a highlight reel with some cheesy ass song they think people really like. like that "you're simply the best" song![]()
Most embarassing series as a fan I ever witnessed on a big stage TBH. That was not even close.
It was at least known by All-Star.
As for Kobe...can see it happening either way and neither bothers me.
Didn't MJ miss his final game in SA due to injury?
They will do some commemorative . I believe Spurs tweeted before their 1st game in SA back in December, that they won't be doing any "celebration" or whatever that game because it wasn't Kobe's last game at SA.
They will show the clip of him & Fisher crying![]()
