Kobe is one of the all-time greats for sure, but I just can't put him above Magic. 12 years, 8 finals appearances, five rings and the rivalry with Bird that elevated the NBA to the level of consciousness where a Jordan could take it to the next level in the public view. And he made the game a fun, happy thing to watch. Kobe is one of the best 10 or so to ever play but Magic transcended the sport.
Also, 80s and 90s basketball was much more physical and superstars didn't get every call when driving the lane. Kobe played in some of it but the gsme changed in the 2000s to a much less physical game when driving. I think Kobe is top 15 tho and I'm glad to have watched him play the game
All time great, Lakers legend. What could've been if he and Shaq could've made it work out. Definitely six, maybe seven or eight rings. Lots of great memories. It was a privilege to watch Kobe play in Staples Center.
His Siri/Apple TV ad makes me laugh.
Whether you put any stock into it or not, people have analyzed quality of play league-wide as time has gone on and it's actually become more talented/harder to play as time goes on, even past the hailed 80s/90s.

Also, big men dominated and didn't give a **** to lay your ass out. But again, talent wise league wide has gotten better

Yea man, I'm just repeating what his defense said. I have no idea how much their is to it.
What is the record for most missed threes in a game? Kobe is at 9 tonight.

Now 12
None of the big names in free agency wanted to play with him in the last few years. Pretty telling if you ask me.
I just watched "Kobe's Top 10 fights". The opposition got the better of him 9 out of 10 times lulz

Record is 13. Kobe at 12.

This game is very Kobe-like. Me me me me me
Even to the point of setting another record for missed shots so he can have a nice stat in total points

If you actually want to know what i think...Kobe doesn't sniff Jordan. Kobe is top 5. I can only tie him with Magic at best. He's better than Duncan, although due to duncan having an amazing coach and amazing cast and organization for his career, Duncan can and likely has the better career. But kobe is still better.

All say hello
Some of you guys should really stop the haterade for one game. This is the worst Laker team of all-time and nobody really gives a crap about anything except watching him play one last time.
While you're throwing out the ****ty 3-pt numbers, he has been shooting above 50% from 2 practically the entire game and they are actually still in the game. Not going to win but at least competitive.

quote:It's the worst Lakers team of all time because Kobe refused to play for less than $25mm for the last five years, so they couldn't build a good team around him and premium free agents didn't want to ride around the drain on teams that couldn't possibly be good.

Kobe about to win this thing. I'll be honest, I was really hoping this would happen. 56 points.
I'm not a Kobe fan, but this is awesome!
Obsession noted.
Kobe caught fire. Eleven points in the last two minutes. Lakers down 1.
Kobe is playing like he's in the NBA Championship all over again.
Damn this is amazing
Could get 60
THAT'S how you retire!
He's going off these last few minutes
