Kobe had an amazing 2012/2013 season. About 34.5 yrs old when he torn that Achilles. He had the work ethic to be in his prime for a long time just like what Lebron is doing.
the most entertaining athlete I've ever seen- love rewinding to see how the crowed reacts when he does something crazy - no matter where he is he has everyone on their feet and jaws dropped
If you ever catch a Lakers game from 2012-2013. Kobe's pre-injury season, I suggest you watch it. He was showing the rest of the NBA how to age gracefully. At least before the Warriors decided to go full thug and injure him just to stop him.
I wouldn’t say the Warriors injured him. Mike D and Kobe himself were pushing Kobe to play like 90% of the game every game due to the team’s injuries and place in the standings. Playing Kobe majority of the games would in theory give you the best opportunity for a playoff run. Minimizing Kobe’s minutes in theory would give you the worst opportunity for a playoff run. Kobe went out the only way Kobe could ever go out. He went out with the heart of a Champion and he proved it by walking on a torn achilles, hitting those two free throws, and walking off the court into the locker room. He gave us everything and still wanted to do more.
Honestly I understand why he said he believes in 2013 that he was the best player he ever was dude looks so quick and the handles,his shot was on,and honestly I believe this would’ve prob been the best Kobe we would’ve seen,skill wise,technicality wise,assist wise,leadership,etc.
Kobe was a combination of a ballet dancer and basketball player.....elegance in movement with gifted and unparalleled basketball skills. True GOAT....really.
im gonna miss watching this dude play! yea most on the time he has been like a bad quaterback thats willing to throw into bad coverage through out his career with he bad shots he takes but hey he is still fun to watch. lol one best to ever play. when he lets the game come to him and trust his team mates u see his game the way it should be.
A bad quarterback that has won 5 rings and 2 as the undisputed leader. You don't play for anything else other than to win the title. Bad teammate ? 5 rings.
Hahahahaha! Nope left foot planted and when he slides it he made the dribble and stutter with hesitation step. Not travelling boy it's called foot work.

The crossover over Wallace has to be one of the most beautiful plays I've ever seen.
Still unstoppable at the end of his career. RIP Kobe Bean Bryant. The world misses you dearly 🙏
