Lakers: Mitch: Kobe's Retiring in 2016

[Thread]

So basically he should do his prime Kirby impression?

Without Bryant Daddy would be swingin' like Sterling.

That is the same line that a car salesman used when I was looking at a Ford Pinto…

If you have ever dreamed of owning a Brand New American Classic you better do it now!
Because once these beauties are gone they are gone!

Because it's negligible.

"You're" mad at him, been mad at him forever. Now your hatred has turned to jealousy. You wanted to see him inert, injured, compromised, driven into the earth. He double crossed you though, you & Media and it galls you. Make it a white man-or-someone Media fancies and it would be the story of the season. But, no, that won't do,,,sells more newspapers, more wampum to cast him down. You're the same s who let Duncan get away with June of '13, with Amy, with his sexuality. You wouldn't touch that. No in' way.

I pity you.

Lol....Cully puttin in work on Mid' s ass

Without Kirby, Daddy would have six-peated.

Without Kobe Media woulda buried Daddy & enjoyed the burial service. But, at the time Kobe saving him and the franchise did not fit the narrative that had been set in stone. Like Artest going there and ringing. That too did not fit Media narrative.

Tough ties.

Daddy would've been just fine without Kobe tbh. Shaq was just as dominant with Penny as his sidekick, what makes you think the results would've been any different. Daddy averaged 32/16 during that 3 peat.

He wouldn't a rung in '00. Media woulda destroyed him thereafter. Bryant saved him and provided a clear path to salvation.

Kobe

Your looks good in hindsight, but we all know Daddy was ringing no matter what. Kobe was a role player doing role player things during that run.

Sure, now,,,it's easy to call the ball. Then? No. They were after Daddy. And they'd a gotten to Kobe to as soon as they put Daddy up wet. But, Kobe got it all straightened out in the 4th quarter up in Portland and the rest is like history.

The fact remains:::without Kobe I'm light 5 NBA les.

Kobe

I am with Thread on this one. Shaq was criticized for being swept out often in the playoffs prior to 00, and Kobe came in and helped Shaq daddy get over the hump as a role player.

Shaq wasn't really matched up with the best up to that point, and with Kobe performing as a slightly worse version of Austin Croshere, Shaq was able to secure his first le in lalaland.
