    There are old ladies whom never watched basketball who knew who Kobe was. They don’t know who Steph Curry is.

    George Mikan in the 50s
    Wilt & Russell in the 60s
    Dr J & Kareem in the 70s
    Magic and Bird in the 80s
    Michael Jordan in the 90s
    Shaq and Kobe in the 2000s
    LeBron in the 2010s
    No face in the 2020s. Might still be LeBron.

    Colorado destroyed Kobe. Not many want to admit it but it was a blemish that never really went away. Even in death, stupid twats still spoke about it like that hag that hangs with Oprah and that stupid b**** that used to bang Marylin Manson.

    Combination with when Kobe hit his prime PRIME and rebuild was horrible timing for Kobe. Kobe never really won when he was at his thanos powers.

    With the major change in team building basically ending the chance for a new dynasty to emerge, I think the “face of the NBA” will change multiple times throughout this decade.

    you guys don't remember that commercial? When it came out in his final season, it was a big hit.

    yeah, the whole "gather step" stuff is wild to me. when i played you couldn't jump stop into another step. travel every time. i could have scored a lot more with more step!

    That's where all the calf injuries are coming from.

    AR’s footwork for the most part is pretty Kobe-esque and precise. Kobe was his guy and he learnt it proper. But some of those others above …. OMG! Where are the refs and the armchair refs in NBA HO reviewing their performance after games?? The ones with Allen at the start and SGA especially. :eek: :swear: :eek: :swear:

    You know what struck me watching this, how poor the spacing was not even 20 years ago. It’s like a different game.

    Secondly, Kobe would kill with today’s spacing.
