    Anyone else loving the previous few games of watching the legend step up in crunch time?

    He's so special. We drafted him when I was like twelve years old, and he's been an absolute pleasure to watch over the years. He will be missed. Hands down my favorite basketball player ever, and in my opinion the greatest streak shooter in the history of the sport by a long shot. I've never seen another player get sociopathically dialed in the way he does. He doesn't see defenders. He doesn't even see his teammates. He just sees the basket. The whole world knows he's going to shoot, and there's not a damn thing anyone can do to even hinder him when he's in that zone. 81 points. 62 in three quarters. No one is on his level.

    I concur. Couldn't have said it better myself.

    I'm from Los Angeles and grew up watching this guy rape defense after defense. I've got a favorite player and I'm a rooster gobbler? I guess Diana Taurasi is your favorite basketball player cause you're sooooo not gay. Cool.

    I would venture to say Curry is on his way to matching kobe's shot and mabe eventually surpasing him in that specific skill. 7 treys in the first quarter the other day, one diff is that Curry has another streak shooter on his team whereas Kobe was forced to do it mostly all himself

    Oh, you're doing that. Yeah, we traded for him on draft day. So technically we didn't draft him, even though we already had the trade agreed upon prior to the draft. How about this? He was drafted by Charlotte because the Lakers told them to draft him which is basically the same thing as us drafting him. This tangent is hopefully over now.

    There is nothing technical about it. The Lakers didn't draft Kobe and I doubt that you (we) had anything to do with it.

    This is absurd. He's a Laker. He's never played in another jersey. I guess I should say he's never played in another pro jersey or you'll bring up his high school jersey. As for the draft, if you're saying that Charlotte was going to draft him independently of the pre agreed upon trade with the Lakers, I'd laugh at that notion. The Lakers drafted him as early as they could. They didn't have a pick that high, so they did the next best thing. Turned out to be the greatest draft day trade in the history of professional sports ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    Human garbage? You don't have a personal relationship with the dude yet attack his character as a human being.
    You must be a King's fan.

    You are one of the stupidest people on here. You're not worth addressing.
