,,,,good riddance,,,
What an attention seeker we all knew he was going to retire after the year most selfish basketball player ever trying to get as much attention as he can get before he retires. he was good I'll give him his props but he was always just A wannabe Jordan
,,,,good riddance,,,
He's still playing?
is no Tim Duncan
I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of teams do what they did for Derek Jeter last year. Its sad cause i no it wont be that way with duncan.
She looks hot there
A great player in his prime. All timer. A little sad to see the villain go away. ...a world without the joker, captain hook.
I have always been anti-Kobe. But when Dwight Coward intentionally took himself out of a playoff game against us in 2013 by getting himself ejected (I KNEW he would) when Kobe was injured, I had great respect for Kobe when, as a show of leadership, he came and sat with the Lakers players the moment Dwight Coward left the floor.
But seeing a game the other day when Kobe was playing - man, it was painful to watch. Say hat you want about him, but e gave this game everything he had. Now, it looks like the New Jersey Generals whenever the Lakers play. Dude is iconic for NBA basketball, and right now looks like Muhammad Ali in the early stages of Parkinson's Disease boxing Larry Holmes. Yeah, THAT bad.
I wish Kobe could just hang it up today. You would never see Tim Duncan announce it in November -he wouldn't want the distraction.
Attention seeker, pre-Madonna, whatever you call him, can't deny he's an all time great.
OPs a Liar.
Kobe retired 4 years ago.
Hes a wannabe to Jordan like Aerosmith are a wannabe to the Rolling Stones, both are great.
2-15
He really shat on the Spurs during his prime
2-17
Definitely came after Madonna
Kobe is in many ways the stereotypical representation of what a lot of people think American athletics has become (fairly or not).
Supremely talented and athletic. Arrogant and self-promoting (remember his rap album??). Consumed by materialism and making money. A winner. A bad teammate. Scandal-ridden (particularly when the scandal involves sexual violence). Big city, bright lights, takes a helicopter to work. Traditional "alpha compe or."
It's one of the reasons I love Tim Duncan and other members of the Spurs, past and present. They are so much of what athletics could be, and for me, should be.
I forgot. ...here's to a great opponent
Kobe's done....and Timmy just pulled down 18 boards.
'Nuff Said.
let the ass kissing began watching Kobe on sports center right now just great
he really shat on the lakers the last 4 years,,,,
This.
Who is the villain of the NBA now? Lebron? Hating on him has gotten stale,plus he's a really great teammate.
Howard? Meh.
Harden. .not really enticing.
Everyone loves the Warriors so you can't paint them in a negative light.
It may be awhile before the league finds another player as polarizing as Kobe.
He can enjoy his farewell tour. All controversy aside,I fully expect him to get deserving ovations in every city he plays in for the final time.
Even here.
Half of the Clippers would make good villains. Jason Terry is still in the league? Mark Cuban?
But your point is well-taken.
Kobe in his prime was a cold-blooded killer on the basketball court. I haven't watched one game of him playing this year but I've seen the stats and they are brutal. He should retire now and end the sideshow.
