Lexus keys to success:

We'll miss you Kobe. Greatest of all time.

We'll miss you Kobe. Greatest of all time

LOL

 

[CoffeeJanitor]

Took 50 shots to get there...not bad for an old man

 

[The Chef]

Shaq wanted Kobe to hit 50 points in his last game:

Shaq: "Kobe, can you promise me you'll get 50 that night" Kobe: "No, absolutely not"

[NYR]

They fed him the ball all game and let him score, zero defense, like an all-star game. Not impressed, completely manufactured game.

 

[John Kowalski]

Is that a lot?

 

[PBY]

On 50 shots.

Very cool not that impressive though.

 

[kewlmyc]

Good for him. Glad he went out on a good note.

[Harry Stewart]

The NBA is fixed, news at 11.

 

[Vade]

So long Kobe, thanks for tanking the Lakers' future for the last five years.

 

[Coin Return]

Completely given to him.

 

[QuantumZebra]

We'll miss you Kobe. Greatest of all time.

Michael Jordan, Wilt Chamberlain, Tim Duncan, Kareem Abdul-Jabber, Bill Russell, and Magic Johnson would like a word with you.

[ElectricBlanketFire]

Perfect.

 

[AyaisMUsikWhore]

You got a named 6 other people who are also the greatest of all time as well. I don't understand what he needs to answer too when he's sitting with them lol.

The bent out of shape responses because Kobe is a guaranteed legend and is definitely one of the greats of all time. 💀

 

[BruceLeeRoy]

That game was such a joy to watch. Those first 3 quarters Kobe looked great but there was some definite hand-holding going on for him.

That 4th quarter though.
That was incredible stuff.

More than the performance one of the best things about this game was he just looked like he was having so much fun.

One of the greatest of all time.

There is no love in Vanessa's eyes. She realized she'd have to see this dude every damn day of her life and cried inside.

 

[bchamba]

Salt must be the antidote to black mamba venom because it's popping up in every Kobe thread

I have no love for Kobe and the Lakers at all, other than respecting a great player. But man people truly do just suck.

This is NeoGaf dude, if the news is "a cure to cancer has been found" people here will bitch about it.

 

[diffusionx]

Sixty points on fifty shots is literally the only way Kobe's career could have ended.

Weak ass mic drop, you let that shit to not set it down gently.

 

[digitalrelic]

I mean, Kobe's great, top 15 of all time for sure, but GOAT? Come on, even most Kobe fans know that that's not true.

Still, amazing end to his career. I disagree that they "gave" it to him as well. He hit a lot of really contested and difficult shots.

 

[Rivitur]

The title should be changed to "Kobe takes 50 shots, only scores 60 points."

 

[BigAT]

We'll miss you Kobe. Greatest of all time.

It's too early in the morning for joke posts. I haven't fully woken up yet and almost thought you were serious for a second.

 

[GrandHarrier]

Even on his last game Kobe couldn't pass the ball

Okay, this post isn't getting beat.

 

[Familienoberhauptvogel]

Because those corporate fucks will make it expensive so only rich people can afford it. They'll also patent it so no one else may provide at a cheaper rate.

 

[loudbill]

Who cares if he took 50 shots, i wouldn't want to have it any other way. That's kobe!

 

[blast processed]

LOL

yep

 

[acheron_xl]

All-star game level defense, huh?

 

[ElectricBlanketFire]

How is that salt exactly?

 

[Sol..]

That last game was ridiculous. We just spent a whole season paying respects, but they still went over the top. I thought Kobe must've had cancer or something.

 

[johancruijff]

Don't hate the game hate the player

I said the exact same thing. You can tell she accepted trophy wife status and is just waiting out her youngest's 18th birthday.

Scheduling extra sessions with her personal trainer.

Did he kiss the CEO of Lexus on the cheek at the end?

 

[Maxim726X]

Ice.

 

[massoluk]

With a score like that, why are you leaving?!?

 

[CitizenCope]

What's the record for missed shots?

 

[universalmind]

Even on his last game Kobe couldn't pass the ball

His last play in the NBA was an assist.

 

[80s Bad Guy]

That last game was ridiculous. We just spent a whole season paying respects, but they still went over the top. I thought Kobe must've had cancer or something.

Sending him off like he was Lou Gehrig, a beloved and amiable ambassador of the sport. Fuck that, Kobe was great because he was a selfish killer. Retconning his whole history.

I was happy he scored so many at first, but dude went 22/50 ...! c'mon man

 

[Deadly Cyclone]

The title should be changed to "Kobe takes 50 shots, only scores 60 points."

*And wins the game for his team full of scrubs.

 

[thiscoldblack]

Reminds me of that episode of Fresh Prince where the team's plan was to always "pass it to Will".

 

[RootCause]

The title should be changed to "Kobe takes 50 shots, only scores 60 points."

He almost shot 50% :0

 

[phanphare]

one of the greatest to ever lace 'em up and the only dude who could emulate MJ

respect

 

[numble]

Okay, this post isn't getting beat.

Pass the ball, Kobe! It's your last game!

 

[Shmuppers]

Why are people so salty about this? I'm pretty detached from the NBA, but don't people like Kobe? Why wouldn't anyone want him to do well on his last game?

He has destroyed a lot of hopes and dreams.
