Kobe Bryant Appreciation thread

Do Not Sell My Personal Information
Well he is freakin cooking now.
Kobe has had a few great games this season that were entirely reminiscent of old Kobe (second game against the Cavs was one of them). The issue is he just doesn't have his legs most of the time anymore. More nights than not he just does not have the capability to show up. I understand why he had to do this season, but his body was probably done after the achiles injury, nevertheless it is special to be able to watch the last game of his career.
 
Totally fair. Duncan's willingness to sacrifice everything to win is admirable. I suppose what I was referring to is different. I love both guys and think both are top-10 players since I was born (1992), maybe even top-5, although I think that's tougher to justify.

Kobe being more relatable than Duncan makes sense because I imagine most people, if put in Kobe's shoes, would do the exact same thing. Fans talk a big game about "doing what's best for the team," but that's a load of horseshit.

There are very few people, if they reach the point that Kobe or Duncan reach in terms of individual ability, that would willingly play the sidekick, even if it was for the good of the team. That's what stands out about Duncan to me.

I dig that! Fair enough!
 
You guys really don't think he raped that girl right?

Unless you’re a serial offender like Cosby, having money makes things like that disappear.
 
If you were to ask me today if I think he did... I'd say probably, yes.
Wasn't that the one where they found like six different nba players jizz inside of her?

With the girls that throw themselves at nba players that aren't named Kobe Bryant.. They don't need to go around raping, nor does it really fit the psychological profile.. Nor does this girl look like..Idk.

I don't remember that part. I remember Kobe's team trying to point out that she had had sex with 2 or 3 guys the last couple of days. There was also her blood on his shirt and vaginal tearing. As well as several other women that were going to come forward against Kobe until they saw the circus that went down in Colorado (the defense using her name SIX times in the preliminary hearings when it was supposed to be kept anonymous, her sexual and mental history becoming public knowledge, and the court accidentally making private records public).

Kobe also admitted that while he believed the sex to be consensual, she did not believe that to be the case.

Does anyone remember the huge rock he had to buy for his wife to make up for his rape? It was 7 figures, for a ring.

I can imagine him asking "okay, babe, what do I gotta buy you to calm you down?"
 
Hes like a dog that should have been put down awhile ago. The last few years have been a mess.
