And? What’s that have to do with what I said?

No one remembers it, but in the 3rd quarter of game 7 Golden State was pulling away, up 8, and Jr goes on a 8-0 run himself to tie it up.

And? What’s that have to do with what I said?

No one remembers it, but in the 3rd quarter of game 7 Golden State was pulling away, up 8, and Jr goes on a 8-0 run himself to tie it up.

Went back and watched the 3rd quarter because I did not remember this happening. It did not happen.

-It was not an 8-0 run.
-Tristan and Kyrie also scored.
-He did not tie the game up.
-The only reason the Warriors were “pulling away” was because his man, Klay Thompson, scored 5 points.


It was a 12-5 run to start the 3rd.
8 from JR
2 from TT
2 from Kyrie
5 from Klay (JR’s man)

Also, immediately following Kyrie’s bucket to tie it, JR missed a shot and turned it over on the next 2 possessions. As a matter of fact, he did not score another point the rest of the way. 12 points on 5-13 shooting does not need to be acknowledged more.

Love this

They don't luh you like dat melo. Kobe got a fairwell. They making melo retire by default.

Same season the Kobe had the Lakers go 42-40, and him selfishly and infamously blow a 3-1 lead by literally quitting on his team to prove a point. ***** was more concerned about winning a scoring title then.



Tell the entire story.

Lol..stop it 5. Team had kwame brown, smush, radmanavic, Chris mihm...

Kobe won all 42 of those wins solo (so to speak)

And was lucky to ever go up 3-1 on that sun's suam to begin with.

Whatever his motive for 'giving up'...worked. got him some able bodies. And he immediately propelled to the finals for 3 yrs straight.

Kobe was about wins. That can't even be debated. On those rosters, only way to win was to black out on your own. Looks great on stat sheets..but it's a pain in the *** to sustain a successful record. Just look at his sons going through the same **** now.

^People always talk about the second half of that game and never the first. Or even the rest of the series. Kobe had like 20 points on 60% shooting and the Lakers were still down 15 because nobody else was pulling their weight. He had 50 the game before and they lost by 8. If you were really keeping up with the Lakers at that time it was obvious that Phil put in the call to move the ball around. The whole 'uncoachable' thing was an issue that had to be addressed for Phil to even come back in the first place. The Lakers lost almost every game against the suns that year when Kobe went off. If they weren't going to win as a team, they weren't going to win.

Los Angeles was 18-9 during the regular season when Bryant scored 40-plus points.

But that approach had not worked against Phoenix.

The Lakers had won only once in the five games in which Bryant scored big against Phoenix that season. They lost the 50-pointer in Game 6 of the first round, and during the regular season his point totals against the Suns were 39 on Nov. 3, when the Lakers lost by 10; 37 on Jan. 20, when they lost by 13; and 51 on April 7, when they lost by 11.

Bryant got hot in the second quarter of Game 7, going 4-for-6 from 3-point range and scoring 18 points in the period, but the Lakers still trailed by 15 points at the half.

In the Lakers' three previous wins in the series, in Games 2 through 5, Bryant had averaged just 23.3 points and 6.7 assists, and the Lakers' frontcourt trio of Walton, Odom and Brown combined to average 43 points per game. Bryant's approach and the contributions of his teammates had, to that point, made the Lakers a more balanced team, more difficult to defend.

Bryant started the second half of Game 7 apparently sticking to a game plan of getting everybody involved. Parker missed a shot in the lane on the team's first possession. Bryant could have taken a contested 3-pointer the next time down the court, but instead worked it around the perimeter, seeing he could get a hockey-style assist if he kicked it to Parker and Parker fed Walton for a wide-open 3-pointer. Walton canned the shot.

Several possessions followed in which Bryant didn't even touch the ball, as Parker, Brown and Walton took turns missing layups down low.

That's the whole story..but people don't want to tell it because of Kobe's chocolate complexion and privileged childhood

I know yall don't mess with podcasts but this was "very good."



The Sterling Affairs is a story of power and scandal in Los Angeles. When an audio recording of a racist rant by then Clippers owner Donald Sterling was leaked online in 2014, it caused an uproar that changed the NBA forever.

But Sterling had been a problem for decades -- in basketball, real estate and more. Why did it take 30 years to finally hold him accountable?

"The Sterling Affairs" is a five-part series from 30 for 30 Podcasts and The Undefeated, produced in collaboration with Western Sound. The series is reported and hosted by ESPN's Ramona Shelburne. All five episodes are available now at 30for30podcasts.com/sterling.
