Kobe really went off the backboard to himself...

...and dunked in the middle of the 4th quarter of a tightly contested playoff game. Still blows my mind. Haven't seen anything like it since. :banderas:





And keep in mind, just a few games before that dudes were saying he was done being an eltie player in the league and would never be able to score 25+ a game anymore...

The Truth
Because Kobe TRULY don't give a fukk. The last of a dying breed. Man it just hit me that the day Kobe retires will be a sad day indeed. I remember back in middle school when we'd play ball everybody either wanted to be Mcgrady, Iverson, or Kobe:wow:
Damn man, you absolutely right. I'll probably stop watching basketball for a few years after he retires. It's sad to see these legends going out...




Kobe was the ONLY player Ive ever seen get MVP chants on the road:wow:

Wait, people think Kobe is the GOAT offensive player?

Is passing, playmaking, vision, and such not a part of offense? These same nikkas probably thing AI is a better offensive player than Magic Johnson too.

Kobe is, quite possibly, the GOAT at hitting heavily contested jumpers and his "God Mode" where he just refuses to miss is insane but...

He's not and never will be a scorer like Michael (Size, mid-range, slashing ability, those stupid huge hands that allowed him to make circus shots, ability to create space, etc) or the offensive player that someone like Magic or Lebron is (Passing, slashing, finishing ability around the rim, vision and court awareness, playmaking, etc).

Kobe is diet-Jordan with better 3 Point and FT shooting but worse at everything else but he's still a god-tier scorer with the likes of Hakeem, Shaq, Lebron, etc.

*yawn*

Alvin Robertson did it first in 1992.
And larry bird did it regularly in the. 80s

as usual an over rated play by the most overrated player in nba history
It wasn't really about him just throwing it pff the backboard, its done been done before plenty of times. Hell, Kobe did years before that as well. But I've never seen anyone do that in the 4th quarter of a playoff game.

That risk-reward factor. :ohlawd:

Kobe is so revolutionary.

Only player to have the opposing owner(Marc Cuban in fact) to stand up and give a standing O


still the craziest shot I've ever seen someone try let alone hit

who the fukk does a fadeaway one handed three point shot with his weak hand? :dahell:

plays like that tell you everything you need to know about Kobe....he's only in it for the win......he could care less about his percentages.......can u imagine Bron or Durant trying that shot??? They'd rather just hold the ball for a shot clock violation. :comeon:

Bron and KD

*gets ball with 3 seconds left before half*

*holds it until buzzer sounds*

*shoots*

:smh:

but then again this nerd doulja KD hired his own analytics team. if Kobe ever did some gay Hollinger shyt, I'd disown him as my favorite ball player.

exactly

I watch Kobe play every game cause I like that he'll try shyt in games no one has ever done before. And anytime you watch him play you'll see something incredible you ain't ever seen. If he just played the percentages, then he'd be just as boring as LeBron. As a fan I want to be entertained. I don't want to spend my time looking at the box score and seeing how nice it looks.
