Kobe Bryant Discussion: Mamba Out!

As a kid, I once had a boxing match with Sugar Ray Leonard, and in between rounds as the lights dimmed, a lit doorway appeared with a descending ramp from the ring towards it with a bathroom inside. I proceeded to push and push to try to pee, and it turned out I was wetting the bed.

Good times.

 

Tells you a lot about someone when they take shots at you when you've passed.

T-Mac is pathetic. Never got out of the first round in the playoffs and wants to claim he could've won just as many titles playing alongside prime Shaq. LeBron, Luka, Giannis, Curry, etc., could... but not you, T-Mac.

One of the most overrated players in the league. He honestly reminds a lot of Paul George. Two players who put up great numbers but can never lead a team to anything.

The lone time he had any success as a star player was when he was playing for the Rockets... when Yao was the best player.

Kobe won titles without Shaq. Why couldn't T-Mac?

 

Poor form indeed

Hard to stay relevant for some guys when they didn't win anything except a scoring title.

 

Well done Natalia!

 

Seeing Pau and his family with the Bryants will never get old. Being there. Consistently. It's just really touching and i can't think of very many situations in sports history where part of the dynamic duo extended their responsibility to life like this. I guess, luckily, we haven't had very many tragic endings like Kobe's so the data sample is low. But there's not a single social post where i see Pau and his family there for Vanessa and the girls and not feel immense gratitude, pride and respect for the Gasols cause they don't have to do this. It's much easier not to do this.


Oh yeah, Rob was there too.

Joking with the undercutting of his role. They've been a strong anchor for the family too. I just have a much closer, warmer tie to Gasol than I do Rob.

 

the placement of Mr and Mrs potatoe head's eyes lol

 

he called Lebron a wuss basically

 

f***ing C Bags idiot strikes again

 

this guy's lifelong drinking problem has clouded his judgment at every turn.

 

Not “to be fair” because I can’t stand Pierce …. but “was” Kobe ever the face of the league? Colorado sure didn’t help and Jordan was in it for still years after Kobe arrived, and then LeBron came too.

Players knew and respect and awe and all that.

 

was PP even the face of the C Bags?
