Kobe Bryant

[Vollmer]

Kobe plays his final game tonight. I am going to end up with a severe depression from this. I have been a lifetime Lakers fan, and Kobe retiring is like losing a piece of my childhood.

This reminds me of how I felt when Magic retired.

Sad day in Laker land (and NBA land).

Quit watching NBA when Jordan left. I think I was spoiled watching in 80 and 90's as that was great basketball

I can't watch pro basketball or football anymore, very few act like they've done it before. Mike Tyson was the best at acting like a professional, watch some of his old fights, he'd knock a guy out and just walk to his corner like he's done it before. The dreadlocks and tattoos are out of control, real role models.

I won't miss kobe for a minute. He may have been one of the best ever statistically. But, I was never a fan. And this year was a disaster. And personality Wise, he couldn't hold magics jock any day of the week. Just my opinion. I will admit it might not even be the most informed one. But, it's mine. Sorry.

NBA is probably the worst entertainment on the planet now

nba doesn't have role models but a dude who tried twice and succeeded to bite off a guys ear is? Makes sense.

For some reason I was never a Kobe fan. Him and Shaq together was fun though.

Not saying he was a role model by any means but at least he acted like his wins were supposed to happen.

It's gotten so bad that it's barely a step above soccer.

^ Kobe was old school.

Let's be honest. We would rather watch the Warriors try to make history than watch some old man on the worst team in nba. Ha

No because then people will say they could play with the 98 bulls who would wipe the floor with the warriors

Not the 98 bulls but get the point. The 96-97 bulls would sweep the Warriors. No doubt about that.

I would still rather watch the Warriors

The NBA has been a giant joke for well over a decade. Maybe it's because it was only fun to watch games with my grandpa. He and I had a good time rooting for opposite teams.

I would like watching the warriors playing the pistons. Isaiah would make curry cry like a lttle girl

 

[thecatwalker]

Huge Kobe fan. Watching as I type. I will miss him.

See I liked Kobe because he was an exceptional athlete as well as team member, Phil Jackson came to LA because he could see that Kobe had the drive and dedication to become an elite player like jordan for example. When LA traded for Shaq, I thought for sure they were going to be the next dynasty in basketball. Kobe single handedly ruined that dream by ruining his career by rape allegations, even if this was not or was true Kobe should've paid her off before it became a circus act. What really made me lose respect for him was when he stated that he wasn't the only one to sleep around with other woman. After that the rest is history
