We all knew this in the moment :dahell: it was plainly obvious live, and he was right.
I was thinking the same thing. This was no secret. It wasn't so much Kobe giving up, but when you have dumb teammates or a strategy that isn't working, he wasn't about to try to bail them out. "Y'all say I shoot too much? Ok, I'ma play team ball."

He was washed up at that point and I dont remember him playing with the Lakers either. But Jackson was nice in the 90s:

Facts. After his ridiculous Game 6 he followed that up with 23pts on 8-13 (4-6) shooting in the first half of game 7, but when you look deeper it's interestingf

In the first qtr he had the same amount of shots as every one else, and we were getting our ass beat. 2nd qtr he goes off for 18 pts and we win that qtr 30-28. Then in the 2nd half he was like :hubie: and we continued getting our ass beat.

So even in G7, the only quarter where the team actually played well was the quarter where Kobe went off. But Phil was sooooooo insistent on Kobe facilitating. :unimpressed:

Kobe propaganda machine truly the best in the business. Bron would probably murder an infant or two to get the kinda false narrative ball washing that Bean does.
In reality people just respected kobe more, it's that simple. Kobe didnt hire a media team to spin narratives and hold organizations hostage . This is all organic which is why you bron stans in your feelings
