DO YOU EVEN REMEMBER BASKETBALL BEFORE BEAN?

[BrothaZay]

No. I was born in 94. Kobe has literally been my idol all my life

I don't know an NBA without Kobe

 

[Archangel]

I vividly remember the NBA prior to the dominance of Mr. Bryant. It was Michael Jeffrey Jordan who dominated the mountain top of the NBA hierarchy. And from 1998 to 2002, was the Shaquille O'Neal era. Ah but behold, Kobe Bryant's reign was an on and off one from 2003-2010 because of stiff competition with Mr. James. Mr. Bryant was always the better player despite not always being favored with the best teams throughout his great career. May God bless Mr. Bryant and all suffering Laker fans

I always guessed that Kobe stans were kids who were shyttin their diapers in the early 90s, but this thread pretty much confirmed it

Ain't no way a grown 30+ year old who watched Jordan play gonna stan the cheap Chinese knockoff version of him
