This thread is too funny, ya'lll critizing other players when your favorite player has lost the exact same way
didnt he shoot 3 times in teh 2nd half?:
wasn't the first time he did that..
he pulled some fukkboy shyt against the kings in 03 i think it was..he refused to shoot. but that was at least the regular season
How I smoke all the time but yall got the bad memories?
After the game during the presser, Phil explained that Kobe needed to get the rest of the team involved because Kobe iso ball wasn't what got us those 3 wins to begin with.
If yall recall, our success against the sons came from a collective effort in the paint from the bigs and 06 Kobe all over the floor. sons and f'ucktoni were smaller and liked the run so Phil slowed it down and tried to win the paint and we put our hopes on butterfingers kwame, odumb pre-title run, and on occasion a still-going-through-puberty Andrew Bynum.
You could see once we got to 3-1 that it was the peak for that sorry ass squad and they couldn't make their little contributions in Game 5, and Odumb's lack of hustle on a board he had position on at the end of the game lost us Game 6 after Kobe dropped 50, by Game 7 the team was back to being its same shytty self from back in January and the rest was history. That press conference with Phil always sticks out cuz I remember how mad I was that Kobe didn't just say "fukk teammates" and go out shooting and when he explained it I was mad but kinda understood the logic behind it. I mean, even Kwame was producing in the paint so you know Kobe and Phil was getting the most outta them bums. 2006 Kobe was a tragedy, he deserved to be in the Finals that year.
Logical in reality but not in the coli

.I'm honestly surprised people still hold on to this narrative that Kobe did that shyt on purpose. The rest of those bums carrying their weight was the ONLY way the team could win. sons was a terrible matchup for the Kobe iso "triangle" that we ran in 06, the bottom line is the front office shoulda got back more in return for fukkin Shaquille O'Neal. Bum ass mitch....![]()
Folks have already destroyed the OP. The Lakers were also a Tim Thomas three away from closing that series in Game 6 in which Bean poured in 50, but Kwame bit hard on the fake and that was all she wrote. That Lakers team had no business being up in that series considering their roster, but the team got hot and Kobe hit a couple of game winners to put them in a position to win. Once the Suns hit their stride and Smush Parker and Kwame Brown started playing like Smush Parker and Kwame Brown![]()

Destroyed what?
I drop video evidence of Kobe bytching up in GM 7 over bullshyt and you Kobe stansover BS

This franchise opened the decade up with a ring.
You've been getting embarrassed throughout the entire thread. Whether or not you acknowledge that is irrelevant.The fact we're even having this exchange makes it clear you're not illiterate, so I'm going to assume you practice selective reading. It was evident you were trolling and getting worked up when your oblivious ass asked if the Lakers had won a championship this decade.This franchise opened the decade up with a ring.

The decade technically starts at 2011
Haven't won a chip this decade and nikkas want to put Kobe on Duncan's level![]()

I swear you are the "smartest" dumb nikka on this board.
Proceed
You answer MY question first.
Kobe stopped shooting because the rest of the team was just standing around, watching him, as they did all season. He got fed up. Are you saying that's WORSE than sitting on the bench with 6 minutes still to go in the NBA Finals, the biggest stage in all of basketball, because you gave up on yourself?![]()
passing shytCan you refute any of the op's points?
