ESPN is going to turn on Kobe soon, tbh..
This is a new era of basketball coverage, where most NBA writers understand advanced metrics and the concept of team basketball that has been ushered by Lebron, tbh..Kobe is beloved by the old regime of mainstream sports coverage, but disliked and assessed correctly by the new breed of media, tbh..

Kobe Shoots 5-7 from Free Throw Line In Limited Minutes
How it happened: With Bryant on the bench to close the third quarter, L.A. used a 10-1 run to cut Toronto's once 14-point lead down to five heading into the fourth. Bryant started the fourth on the bench and checked back in with just less than seven minutes left and L.A. down by seven. From there, Bryant's presence alone wasn't enough to close out the game. He made two free throws to cut the Raptors' lead to four but missed a fallaway jumper on the next possession after the Raptors had pushed it back to six. Then, the lead ballooned back to 10 off two free throws from DeMar DeRozan and a layup by Kyle Lowry. L.A. never made it a game after that.
"Bryant's presence alone... "
Misses: There was a sequence in the fourth quarter in which Young airballed a 360-degree layup that could have cut Toronto's lead to five. The Raptors pushed the ball up the court for a Terrence Ross 3 to push their cushion to 10 with 9:06 to go. Big sequence.
