if Kobe somehow manages to keep this going the whole season, people are gonna be singing his praise.... would finally prove to the haters he doesn't have a one track mind....
knowing Kobe though, I really wonder which he would prefer.... if let's say this was his last season, I wonder how he would wanna go out... whether keep playing like this and silence his haters, finally prove to the world he's more than a scorer, or just go out the only way he's ever known.... will the Mamba adapt, or keep striking until it's last breath
He's an interesting dude, to me it's like he's the last remnant of MJ mentality and I'm trying desperately to hold on to an idea that there's still some MJ left in the basketball world, lol, I might have to switch to another sport after Kobe retires most likely though... as much as I love Chris Paul and his drive, it just ain't the same
MJ.... I miss you bro  |
TBH, he'd only be proving the "haters" right.......These last 2 games are proof of how Kobe hasn't really been as good as people think he truly is....He's gone through shitload of games, not just this year, in which he's done far more bad than good for his team...especially with his ability....
These last 2 games only prove the 'haters' right, that if Kobe wasn't so selfish, he'd do far more good for his team....In the past, especially down the stretch in the playoffs, his teammates have BAILED HIM OUT....go back and look at the Lakers deep post-season runs and tell me how many shitty shots you see Kobe just chucking up, missing, and being bailed out with Pau and Bynum grabbing the offensive board...even back in the Shaq days......also, the only reason why there are so many Kobe 'haters' is because their are twice as many delusional Kobe 'fanboys'....
Kobe's NBA finals field goal percentage was always at about 40% and he'd go games in the NBA finals shooting like 30% while chucking up 20+ shots....Words can't even describe how horrible that is at that level and at that stage...
