There was “wonderment and awe” because Kobe did it in 2006 when there was no socia media or hot take reactions. Sports media talking heads hadn’t ruined sports discourse yet. If Kobe had scored 81 during the Twitter/hot take era, people would be downplaying his shyt just like they’re doing to BamYeah the game was played with sub-preseason seriousness…both teams came into it with a understanding that the Wizards were not there to even pretend to compete…it’s hard to embarrass someone by making a mockery of a game they don’t care about
But that’s today’s league…commissioner has already said they’re working on fixes
Congrats to Bam…the difference in responses from when Kobe did it compared (wonderment and awe) to young upcoming standard bearer of the league literally shrugging it off speaks volumes…but people will forget how meaningless and phony this performance felt decades from now
