Lakers: Sixty points.

[ambchang]

you still don't get it...I don't even think the Ludovico technique could pry open your slope eyes open on this one. The thread is called "Sixty Points," and is simply an appreciation thread for a fun performance that gave NBA fans exactly what they wanted. You just can't stand the thought of showing Kobe any kind of credit, and now that he's retired you have no reason to keep your yellow juices flowing.

You're out of your only source of posting fuel, so it's back to the rice paddies for you, victor charlie

The fact that there is a thread on this speaks volumes about why this is so laughable.

NBA fans wanted this
They want a 17-win season
Worst season in Lakers history
Missed three playoffs in a row for the first time in club history

LET'S CELEBRATE BECAUSE KOBE SCORED 60 POINTS!!!!!

I never thought I'd see a Spurfan have such a hard time adjusting to life without Kobe. I'm available via PM if you need a friend.

How am I have difficulty? I am having a blast, 50 shots, confirming every single thing I said about his penchant for putting himself above the team.

Yeah, you are right, I do have work. That said, Curry is killing us all, no way the Spurs ring this year.

Kobe was the perfect 2nd fiddle foil.

Everyone remembers the great Duncan/Shaq battles. And each of them had their 2nd fiddle guards.
Without Kobe, there is no Parker > Kobe.

Porker at least won Finals MVP as a wing-man.

You still dont get it nothing about last night changes the lakers ty present or shaky future. It was showing respect to a once great player on his last legs putting on a show for the fans. You are not a fan so it wasnt for you ... But Again why do you care if Kobe ruined a ty team?

[Killakobe81]

Courtesy of Kobe.



There are multiple issues with this.

First, the Lakers season is a direct result of Kobe's chucking, he created this mess, and now he is being celebrated for creating this mess because there is nothing else to celebrate about. That's screwed up.

Second, it's not about celebrating it or not, it's about a bunch of hypocrites, who have for years, preach about championship or bust, go out and celebrate a totally meaningless game like you have won 7 in a row. If some random guy comes in and start raving about how great that game was, sure, but for these bunch of hypocrites to do something they preached on NOT doing for years? No.



I am not converting Luva or Kool because they are just trolls. I am sure deep down inside, a vast majority of people ranks Duncan over Kobe, it's just obvious. There may be a few people someone in the world, mumbling to themselves in a street corner about how Kobe > Duncan, and how Phantom Menace is actually the greatest Star Wars movie, but I would be surprised if not a vast majority of logical, reasonable and radical people would rank Duncan > Kobe.

That though, is not my point, my point isn't to say Duncan > Kobe, it's to strike down points that are not accurate.

He was not celebrated for creating a mess but for past services rendered. Same as the 48.5 million. You did not contribute one dime to either so get off your freaking high horse and get over it. He has a good finish to a bad game. he scored 60. took him 50 but he did it his way like Sinatra. Why dont you focus on the playoffs ... kobe is done. He just wanted to piss in you and your haters cornflakes one last time as he was on his way out the door.

"People wanted to see Kobe score a lot!"

People also "want" another season of The Real World, Nickelback albums, and Michael Bay movies. Just because people have ty taste does not mean the things they like or want are any good. A homeless man's Jamal Crawford chucking 50 shots on a lottery team is still a homeless man's Jamal Crawford chucking 50 shots on a lottery team regardless of how many mouthbreathers wanted to see it.

I was taking my boy to daycare this morning and heard on NPR that Kobe scored 60 in his farewell game and thought maybe he put on a show. Then they mentioned he took 50 shots and I just laughed and shook my head.

[Spurs9]

What else did you expect him to do just shoot a few shots? I thought it was great, and he gave the crowd a show for as much as those tickets cost. Didn't think he could score that much on even that many shots, but a good way for him to go out. Alot of the shots looked like some of the stuff he did 10 years ago, it was a flashback tbh. I appreciate him for how hardcore people view him one way or the other. Spurstalk would have been a boring place without Kobe's up's and downs over the years. There isn't really any good Spurs/Lakers type of rivalry anymore. Maybe Spurs/Warriors can develop like that if we do anything in the post season.

[SupremeGuy]

50 shots
17 wins
lakerfan rejoices

[DMC]

spurs fans sometimes...smh

Why not saying something like hats off old man and move on ? I mean game was anyway meaningless, he scored 60 pts, dat was entertaining as and a very nice note to end his career.

The rest is history, Kobe will disappear on top 10 soon enough, the worst Lakers season will remain, the .352 FG% will stay ... but he will have this game that will be remembered... good for him tbh

Eh?

If you think about it this is basically laker fans peak moment for the last 4 years. Think about that for a second, a guy scoring 60 in a reg season game is the best thing that's happened to them ever since dwight took his jersey elsewhere. That was a good performance but it shows what an absolute joke this franchise has been.

[ambchang]

It's OK though, that's exactly what the NBA fans wanted

Yeah, from an nba fan standpoint I understand it's ok. From a laker fan standpoint it's not cool at all. If Duncan goes out chunking for individual glory after leading the Spurs to 17 wins I'd be pissed.

[ambchang]

You still dont get it nothing about last night changes the lakers ty present or shaky future. It was showing respect to a once great player on his last legs putting on a show for the fans. You are not a fan so it wasnt for you ... But Again why do you care if Kobe ruined a ty team?

No, it confirms the entire me first at ude. It's his entire career wrapped up in one night.

He said he didn't care what others think of him? He cares enough to jack up after shot for individual glory.

He freezes out teammates to chuck and chuck.

There's no regard for winning or losing.

It's pathetic.

He didn't care about what people think of him but he tries his hardest to show up people he didn't care about. Right.

I didn't contribute to anything, but he is playing basketball in a way that is opposite to the way it should be played. It's pathetic.
