Kobe's classic game 7 against the Suns

[HoopLife]

Such a classic game from Kobe



Anybody remember the logic behind this decision to quit on a game?

 

[NYC Rebel]

I defended Kobe back then as I am now . He willed that flawed Laker team to 3 wins and got punished for the lakers being the lakers by game 7

Smush Parker
Luke Walton

He willed them to 3 wins? Smush Parker outscored him during one of those wins

He quit plain and simple

Excuses dont work. It's not about narrative. He shoulda figured out a way to win with those guys. Just gotta figure it out.

Yup he quit to prove a point and that put a fire under the front office ass that led to the Gasol trade and 2 more titles.

I was a happy fan at the end of the day

I mean 5-2 for 5 rings in the finals seems figured out to me

We allowed Smush Parker to be the leading scorer in a playoff game?

spite your team in a pivotal game 7 just to prove a point brehs

Kobe wasn’t the reason the Lakers lost the series. But you never quit on your team.

Very un-Spurslike.

He did, beat them later in wcf.

Did Lebron not will that flawed 2007 and last years team to the finals, two teams who had no chance in winning a championship.

Your opinion is fine, just make sure you keep that same energy when discussing bron.
