what are you talking about.. won the game... he has been doing this for last 4 yrs..
including last night, the Lakers won 17 games..
a MAJOR MARKET like LOS ANGELES has a NO-NAME TEAM... except for one person who chucks up TWENTY 3-Pt shots...
and makes .250 percent of them?
that is the icing on the cake of a serious addiction.. this is like a guy who weighs 400 lbs.
and people celebrating him him winning a competitive eating contest
it was behavior like that that tanked the team. Kobe's selfishness determined that they have nothing else
to look forward to except him taking shot after shot after shot.
so the stars aligned for his last game.. so what.
a true star does not do that at all.. and takes his team to the playoffs...
takes a pay cut, to make room for other players.. passes the ball to the player with the best shot..
a player like Tim Duncan, he is a 20 year man, and is still a starter on a team with oVER 60 Wins.
because he is a team player. He helps other guys get points for the team.
Tim Duncan would never allow his team to sink to the level of a draft lottery.
Kobe is garbage if he allowed that, ESPECIALLY in a BIG MARKET.
Duncan (this late in his career) has been to 2 of the LAST 3 Finals.. and has a good shot to go again this year
because he took pay cuts, and works the team, not caring about individual stats.
Kobe took a great team, chased everybody away.. acted as an obstacle to signing new players
tanked his team, so that he might comfortably chase the All-Time Scoring record,
and then scored 60 pts. on 50 shots on a team that already missed the playoffs..
and people are acting like he did that in the Finals..LOL
KOBE TANKED A WINNING ORGANIZATION AND CREATED A LOTTERY TEAM. period.
