I'm sorry, but last night was one of my favorite Kobe game of all times. favorite =/= best, before you quiff your panties. I'm saying it was one of my favorites, from the anxiety of the game. The theatrics. The rough beginning. The Mamba rising. The 18 in the 1st. Then the 20 points. Then the 30 points. Then the 40.... My dude dropped 60. He hasn't done that since 09. 0 freakin 9. Let that marinate for a minute...how much has happened since 2009. And on the very last game of a monster career, he brought the fire one last time. And grabbed the victory. Vintage. But different. A new breed. Although he took a bunch of 3s, he didnt settle for his normal elbow, pumpfake fadaways last night. He drove it in for layups and straight midrange jumpers.
funny guys mention how many points guys would have if they took 30-40-50 shots...like who? Gimme some names. Curry? Of course. Who else. KD? Maybe. It's probable. Who else though? Those are both 2 historic scorers. But who else? We've seen bron say if he could take 40 he'd get 70.....lie detector came back...that was a lie. Son averaged 40 shots, scored 40 points.
50 shots in itself is a feat. I bet you guys saying its no big deal haven't even hooped before to say pulling 50 shots is cake. It takes mad effort in itself. Hell it takes mad effort it press the shot button 50 times on 2k! Dude showed last night why he was one of the best, if not the pinnacle of singular scorers the game has ever seen. And truth is...he would've had more if he saved a couple of those 3s and drove in a few more times. Much like the 81 pt game, there were plenty more opportunities for more points, but the decision was made for different shots. Those 2 airballed 3s could've easily been 2 layups. Missed 2 freethrows, could've been 2 more points. Bruh could've ended near 70 if he had changed some shots. guarantee he went back and watched the tape and critiqued where he could've done better.
no lie freeze brah u one of my fav nters
