    Forget how bad these two teams are. This is a big night in Kobe's farewell tour.

    Despite growing up in the area and playing at nearby Lower Merion High, there's always been a love/hate relationship between Kobe and this city. A lot of that has to do with Kobe wanting to rip our hearts out back in the 2001 Finals.

    That said, expect a huge standing ovation for Kobe tonight. One of the greatest players and competitors ever in his final game in Philadelphia.

    Somebody still goes to the 76ers games ? That should be in the news. Did they open a welfare center near the stands ? And who cares about Bryant anyway.

    Nobody cares that Kobe is retiring

    He is a scumbag

    He does not have the off court appeal like many other superstars..basically an also ran retirement

    He did nothing in phila

    Wizzle can get some halfway decent tics on CL. I had tics to St. Joes / Nova tonight but sold them to check this game out.

    I don't recall a superstar looking this bad in his final year.

    I'd probably laugh at him if I was in the stands.

    I retired Kobe when he blew out his Achilles tendon.. Hasn't been the same player since..

    I'm also bitter he signed on for the last 2 years for 30 mil a pop knowing he killed the salary cap and team.. Selfish move and it put a very bad taste in many die hard Laker fans mouth.. I'm one of those fans..

    Magic Johnson wouldn't have been that selfish and do that to the Laker fans and franchise in his remaining 2 years if that were the case.. He would have sacrificed for the team.. Lakers should be bigger then Kobe.. Part of the blame falls on Jim Buss though...

    I get it, but Kobe did so much for the Lakers he deserved that money. Everyone talks about his latest contract but forgets the haircuts he took to get Pau and a few seasons later Dwight. He was underpaid for 18 years IMO so give the man his money.

    The only thing I'll ever hold against Kobe is how he handled Shaq and cost the Lakers a shot at 4 chips in a row.

    He earned his money

    Guy played like an animal every night

    His trademark

    I just do not think people care that he is leaving..fairwell tour will be a bust because he does not have that appeal in different cities like other superstars

    He should just quit tonight..I am sure Lakers will pay him

    Kobe made a boat load of money over his long career especially with all the endorsements.. He could have taken 10 mil a year, signed more free agent players and saved the team.. Laker fans don't deserve what he did.. Kobe is not bigger then the Laker franchise.. Lakers didn't owe him anything..

    Owners were stupid though to pay him and Steve Nash so the blame falls on both.. Lakers haven't been this bad and pathetic as a team in their storied history.. Even the Boston Celtics after trading Paul Pierce and not paying him 30 mil a year have finally got back to a team that is beginning to win again..

    Kobe is a selfish dude.. Steve Nash the same.. Bottom line..

    Call me old fashion but you shouldn't take the money if you can't contribute or play.. It's a moral issue.. You don't do the work you shouldn't take the money it's just that simple... If both Nash and Kobe turned down even part of the money and retired like they should have fully knowing they both can't play or contribute to the level they were expected too anymore that would have been amazing.. Didn't happen..

    These guys are paid already and really didn't need the money.. Why torch the franchise and fans?

    JJ do you know anything about philly basketball? His HS is 15 mins out of the city. His AAU team was sponsored by a philly company. Ever hear of the Sonny Hill League?

    its sad to see him play today. he cant even hit the rim on his 3 point shots. the only reason he is playing is for the $25 million a year. he knew he was done.

    im gonna assume u meant "paycuts"
    please remind us when he took those "paycuts" for pau or dwight
    im pretty sure that didnt occur

    if i remember correctly, it was pau who was going to be forced to take a paycut due to kobes joke of a salary
    that is what led to him leaving for the bulls. .............

    Is kobe bad right now? Absolutely.

    Does kobe deserve a farewell tour? 100%yes.

    Kobe is a legendary nba figure. He played hard every game.

    Despite all the bullshit he played for the lakers for 20 years.

    He made the laker a lot of money. That contract has hindered the team froma faster rebuild but $$$ wise it hasn't hurt the lakers.

    Now his tour will guarantee sell outs everywhere.


    Maybe he should have played for every team in the league like Shaq did.

    I won't waste anymore time digging up articles but google is your friend. Well known that Kobe took less money 2 contracts in a row before they "paid him back" with this current one.
