fighting for the 8th spot with a loaded roster.
Dislike him immensely, but he is not going to go down either in the playoffs or before without giving it his all. Amazing performance for a player of his age last PM going with a single break. 47 points on pretty good shooting + 8 boards and 4 blocks, steals darn good. [That Lilliard for Portland is pretty good too]
Last nite was the start. We'll see if he can finish it with 5 more straight across. Then we'll have something to talk about.
Otherwise, we're "fighting for the 8th spot."
High payroll and fighting for 8th.......
Can't argue for his will to win, our guys need some of that fire tbh
Playing 48 minutes against that scrub Portland team to put up those numbers
^CN, gettin' his fart catcher on.
You look like a hundred bucks.
Cm has to be one of the most insecure posters on here ...u would think a Clips fan would be the most secure but no, since they have been a joke for decades
I'm insecure for pointing out facts?
Kirby had a good game against a very bad Portland team, not an all-time great performance worth fellating him over, tbh...
Please love my Kobe
I don't think your dislike for him is really important, and so are the other's who always say " I dislike him, but" nobody cares.
Mids ass still sore denounces ring smack but resorts to racist remarks, erotic rhetoric and Trollin when Lakers win or Spurs lose and when they coincide mids ass really starts to bleed ...
Dwight Howard has missed more free throws this year than Steve Nash has missed in his entire 17-year career...
Also Kobe Bryant has now taken more shots than Lance Armstrong...
He's the most feared player in the game and nobody has his will to win. Jordan and Kobe are in their own category for their will to win and refusal to lose.
Yep, & Hack-a-Howard will once again be part & parcel & on the table if we make it into the playoffs. They'll come after him with that tactic immediately and with a vengeance.
I'm not angry at all about the Spurs losing. I want them getting the 7th seed. This way I can sit back and relax during the 1st round and enjoy the Thunder's total destruction of your team.
heard a stat on ESPN radio....kobe is the first player to score 47 pts, on a Wednesday night, with a full moon, when the concession stands run out of nachos, and row 15 seat 8 section 322 is empty. Amazing....simply amazing.
Not impressive because of the compe ion, but impressive because of the cir stances. Obviously each of these last few games of the season are all must wins for the Lakers. And at Kobe's age to play all 48 minutes on the second night of a back-to-back on the road and performing well is a testament to his work ethic and conditioning. Yes, Portland isn't a powerhouse or anything, and they were missing their two starting wing players. So of course it's not like a legendary performance or anything like that. But it's impressive on a lesser level because of those other factors.
And I don't think many if any people ever questioned Kobe's will to win (with the one notable exception obviously of that second half in that Phoenix playoff series). Actually, I think he probably hates losing more than he likes winning. That's at least part of what fuels his compe iveness. There are few guys in NBA who still play like that and leave it all on the floor every second they're on the floor. That's what I've always liked about Kobe. And those have always been the type of players I've admired most regardless of what many other faults they may have. Kobe, KG, Manu, Iverson, CP3. Those are my guys despite each of them displaying other traits that I really dislike from the tough guy act to flopping to blackhole volume shooting. But they're ultimate compe ors. Do anything in their power to win. For those who have ever questioned why I'm a Kobe fan, that's the number 1 reason.
I'm pretty much the same way. Gotta love that intense hatred of losing. Even if it's misguided, I can live with that better than I can with people who just don't care.
the old man went ham on the 2nd night of a b2b, dudes been playing 40+ minutes per game for like the last week
despite the obvious shortcomings of this season, you can't hate on this the guy's strive to keep playing and compe iveness to win.
Even this asshole acts the asshole. He flounders for a while, can't stand the gaffe, then just founders.
Needed a lot of minutes and ballhogging / stat padding to beat the ty Blazers
I can and will hate on him for playing that many minutes because it's obvious he's doing it on purpose to manipulate the narratives about him and deflect all blame about how ty this year's Lakers are away from himself, tbh.....

If Kirby really had this mythical "will to win" that Lakerfan is claiming, he has a funny way of showing it, because so much of what he does on offense AND defense hurts his team's chances of winning, tbh....
Super impressed by his performance, however; as a Laker fan we've seen this too many times before. Hopefully he has a few more of these games against quality compe ion and uses his strengths to elevate this team to prosperity. At this age and minutes it's astonishing and revelatory and given I've been watching since the 80's to see a player this "seasoned" to continue to strive; like a plant reaching up to the sun, no matter what the obstacles.
Playoffs or not, I'll miss him as a player in a few years. Kobe=One
