Never was a Kobe fan but looking back he will be remembered as one of the greats.
Guy was a beast in his prime. Not quite Jordan offensively but pretty damn good.

Still sucked for the past three years and retired too late. Was the number one reason why the Lakers been trash recently. Even Tony Delk scored 50+. Good riddance, finally.

Uncharacteristically selfish performance. Usually he's not one to look out for himself on the court.

Jordan would have scored 80.

His teammates did not want the ball. Sometimes...it looked like they ran away from a Kobe's ball handling. It was his night. It wasn't so much him being selfish as the Lakers forcing him to take every shot...making sure he goes out with a memorable game. It was 'fun.' The type of fun I think the ASG tries to deliver and fails with each season.

The fact that he ended up leading them to the win (albeit with some referee assistance) ... pretty cool.

I'm sure it was and I admit it's a nice story, but I'm just hating on him. I think he's quit on his team before and openly chased individual accolades over team success in the mid-2000s.

Storybook ending.

Onetime great player. Been horrible for two years while collecting $48M. Team is awful. Last place in the western conference. Last game of his career after a season of phoning it in and collecting stupid retirement gifts on his final "tour" of the league. Gets a tough match-up against a non-playoff team with nothing to play for. Decides passing is not something he wants to do in his last game and puts up 60 on 50 shots in a win (provided by the NBA).

Magical.

This is a game that I believe you have to watch. At the very least watch the 2nd half or the final 7 mins or so. It was a great finish by the greatest players of his era.

You're wrong. They even double teamed him.

This is a Kobe thread, not a LeBron one.

Didn't see a second of it, I'll take you @ your word and say he's a selfish guy who never made his teammates better ..but very talented no doubt, he's top 20 all time.

What? He still had to make the shots at the end of the game. Which he did. They were guarding him from what I saw.

So this old thread was bumped to show what people really thought after he played his last game.

He's top 10. I'm still not willing to put LeBron ahead of him. That's more about being a Kobe fan.
