Kobe Bryant Discussion: Mamba Out!

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.

Top 10 song all time so they say…

 

AI I presume? That looked too current. Incredible.



Also scary. Motion picture industry actor / labor freaking out now and legit so.

 

they made phil jackson as bad a singer as i'd imagine.

 

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

 

It did seem vaguely familiar.

 

Kobe > LeBron

 

I'm not able to embed but this is a video comparing modern day uncalled travel footwork vs Kobe's footwork

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 steps!

 

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



"Karma"

 

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.

 

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.

 

yeah...i'm just not at all sure about the veracity of that last part...

those are all things possible to do with the human body, but like, 70% of them are actually two consecutive travels in any league with any ref. even now.

 

Yeah same reaction. Insulting. Stink bomb to my eyes.
