As a Spurs fan and Kobe hater, this is about as good as an ending I could have hoped for.

You are a terrible person and a terrible fan of basketball for saying that.

It was a perfect Kobe game. Something for the haters and something for the fans.

Dang...a perfect Texags response would have been, "I didn't know he was still in the league. Who's he playing for now?"

From a company in Shanghai:

To all employees:
In response to massive requests, we shall be screening Kobe Bryant's final game live in our conference room in order to learn from his professionalism. Game takes place at 10:00-14:00 (local time). Food and drinks will be provided. Please do attend.
quote:
Due to April 14th being Kobe Bryant's farewell game, we have decided to declare said day as a company holiday. Business will resume on April 15th.
Even if a second Kobe were to appear, our lives would be too short to wait for another.

It is amazing how quickly China has fallen in love with the NBA. This is a really great thing for the game of basketball.

Never have been a fan of Kobe, but he was great for the game and the NBA. To say he is the best player ever is a huge stretch. Was awesome to see him go out like he did last night.

I'd take Timmy D on my team 10 times out of 10 over Kobe.

If he wasn't so selfish, perhaps he would be in the playoffs next week...

Not a big fan of Kobe, but that was quite a spectacular (and very Kobe-ish) way to go out and very fun to watch. More importantly, congrats to the Lakers for their 17th win of the season. For perspective, the Warriors had their 17th win the day after Thanksgiving.

I know most people like to be acknowledged when they retire, but I can't help but think the first game after Timmy retires the Spurs starting lineup will read something like this:

Tim Duncan: DNP - Retired

Because the Spurs and Lakers had a pretty substantial rivalry for a decade when Kobe and Timmy were in their primes. You talk about the early 2000 Lakers...you talk about the Spurs. And vice versa.

Nowhere did he say that Kobe is the reason the NBA is blowing up in China.

Did I say that? The Chinese being really interested in Kobe's last game is an effect of a country falling in love with the NBA. Kobe is not the cause.

When you are from a 2nd rate city like SA you feel like people are constantly overlooking your team. Therefore you must compare every NBA topic to Tim D and the Spurs to make sure people haven't forgotten how awesome the Spurs are.

I think it was Zach Harper or Matt Moore who joked about how the Spurs are going to show up to training camp next season with a post it note on David West's forehead from Timmy saying he retired.

You're right that it's very possible that he did. I remember that she'd had sex with multiple guys in the previous 24 or 48 hours, and that the defense said the trauma was due to that lots of sex. I don't know anything about the physiological effects of marathon sex sessions so I don't have a clue whether there's anything to that. But on its face it didn't seem like the "wow he absolutely got away with rape" sort of situation that you saw with Roethlisberger.
You know, a lot of women have sex multiple times within 48 hours without extensive tearing/bleeding.
Not with a BBC.
