Dwyane Wade shares his iconic Kobe Bryant story from 2008 Olympics when Kobe found out Wade was coming off the bench:

“When he heard I wasn’t starting, I’m sure he knew like ‘man this is tough for D Wade not to be starting on this team’ but he came to me right away and he eased my mind. He was like ‘when you get in the game and it’s me and you on the floor, this is what I’m gonna do. I’ll pick up 94 feet and turn these guys, once I turn them, you do what you do. So I got so many steals and so many dunks because of the unselfishness of a star in our league…. When Kobe retired from basketball, I didn’t have no one to chase anymore. I lost something in me when Kobe retired.. I felt Kobe was the only one on the level I was on as the top two guards.”

Best finisher ever

Like I said, peak athletic Kobe is a Jordan and Kyrie type mixed in one. The most skilled offensive engine we’ve ever seen

Los Angeles Lakers star Austin Reaves intends to sign a four-year, $185 million maximum contract to return to the franchise, with a player option for the final season in 2029-30, sources tell ESPN. Reaves declined his $14.9M player option for the new max deal.

The biggest knock on Kobe is that he wasn’t efficient. It’s flawed reasoning when factoring that there’s no data that proves efficiency leads to winning. Especially in the 2000s.

Dirk shot 42%FG in the finals against the Heat. He’s celebrated.

Kobe shot 41%FG in the Finals against the Celtics. They say he was horrible.

Brunson just won the finals and FMVP on 42%FG efficiency. He’s regarded as a superhero.

THE SO PROTECTED P.R. BULLET PROOF LEGACY of Tim Duncan shot an impressive 42%FG at CENTER and won FMVP in 2005

Last year SGA shot 44%FG and 24%3PT for the final and won FMVP and was glazed all year and back to back MVP.

Paul Pierce won 2008 FMVP, a 43%FG

Jaylon Brown, 44FG% as the FMVP in 2024

MICHAEL JORDAN in 1998, FMVP at 43%FG, he again shot 42%FG in 1996 as the FMVP.

Efficiency is the most overrated stat in the sport.

Shaq was the most swept player in playoff series history. He was gifted a future Top 5 player all time in Kobe while he was in his peak prime. But Shaq knew he wasn’t really a closer. Typically guards are the closers. And Kobe happened to be one of the greatest closers of all time.

Kobe saved him more than just game 7 in Portland. Kobe is the reason Shaq has 3 rings with LA. He doesn’t get past Portland and Duncan/Robinson without Kobe. We all know that. You don’t get to beat up Rick Smits in the Finals if you don’t first get past Duncan

“Shaq Won fmvp”

But will ignore kobe averaging 37 ppg against the kings in the playoffs for 2 years straight at a point with Shaq on the roster. Guys don’t have anything to say,it’s crickets. No playoffs = No finals

When it comes to Kobe,guys nit pick & choose what’s important

[Whoz Meech @WhozMEECH]

Scoring 32PPG on this type of defense is just stupid

The Kobe disrespect is crazy 😂

Maybe someone should show this to Nick Wright

BREAKING: The Orlando Magic are finalizing the hire of San Antonio Spurs associate coach Sean Sweeney as the franchise's new head coach, sources tell ESPN. Sweeney broke into NBA coaching in 2011 and now lands the Magic head job as a top rising candidate.

25 years ago today, Kobe gave us arguably the most impressive back-to-back games ever.

48 points, 16 rebounds to sweep the Kings.
45 points, 10 rebounds in San Antonio.

as a 22-year-old… 🗣️

2000s Guards were special man

No gather step 5 steps
No traveling
No flopping
No foul baiting
Real footwork and SKILL 🔥

Hornets Baron Davis would be a walking 28 & 10 today. Too big for smaller guards and too fast for bigger guards BD was giving your favorite team PROBLEMS 👊

𝕏 Algorithm doesn't make people conservative
It de-programmed them and makes them resistant to propaganda

When you stop filtering reality through legacy media and start reading primary sources - receipts, raw footage, actual data - your worldview shifts

I call that people waking up
