    I always wonder what Kobe would accomplish in different bodies

    insert him in Ayton, in Zion, in Bron, etc

    So strange that these athletes get to this level and the desire is not there

    One man’s “strange” is another man’s “PATHETIC.”

    In his defense a little here, he is a big man, they tend to get lost, if they don't touch the ball any. AD was like that at times too.

    It probably stiffened up from all that sitting on the bench during the 4th of the 6ers game.

    is this the second game he's sat due to knee soreness recently? not great. he may not be the prince who was promised, but we don't want to go back to the bad old days of hayes being our only center.

    I haven’t seen a player have this much trouble holding onto the ball since probably Kwame. If he gets an offensive rebound and there is anyone near him, or if he gets the ball in the paint and there are 2 guys around him, that thing is getting taken. He cannot be our center next year, because those kinds of turnovers are the difference between winning and losing close games, playoff games.

    Really frustrating that he brough the ball down in the last 2 minutes so OKC could swipe at it. Keep the ball up high man

    in all the years i played basketball, i'm not sure if i ever stood straight up during live action unless i was trying to contest without fouling (which would be rare at my size, anyway--would at least need to jump).

    Unfortunately performances like that are why I supported the team also looking at potential big men.

    I think he’s going to get crushed in the playoffs but would love to be proven wrong.
