Legit

Probably 50/50

The first 2 quarters was silly allstar game level just chucking it up nonstop versus a confused Utah team.
He looked awful and I could not watch it. He looked old.

But, the 2nd half was a little more resembling a competitive game and Kobe looked like Kobe.

60 points is still 60 points regardless.

 

[Hornsstampede2.0]

Utah played defense regardless.

 

[CodeBreaker]

Utah played defense regardless.

And Kobe disregarded the defense..

I almost feel sorry for the Warriors who got their 73 wins tonight and busted the Bulls record but yet they are over shadowed by Kobe right now - lol

I have never liked Kobe Bryant, mainly because he destroyed Portland's dreams far too many times. But I have always respected him due to his skill and how good he was. Something I took for granted with Jordan.

But that farewell speech. Man, complete class and respect. Nice job Kobe.

I would say I'm surprised Kobe took 50 shots, but it's Kobe....chucking is what he does best.

Well, maybe with Laker fans. Non Laker fans probably are grooving on both.

what was so awesome was he made a joke about that in his farewell speech.

Exactly, doesn't surprise me to hear he went 22-50 and 6-21 from 3 point range. That's been the Kobe we've seen all to well the last several years.

 

[wildturkey]

That was awesome. Gotta little misty eyed there so I had to clear my vision to see those 60 points

He wanted to leave us with the most Kobe-ish game he could LOL

Man I don't know how I'll handle it when Wade retire if I'm this sad with Kobe ( a man who I disliked for just about his entire career) retires

 

[trojanfight]

60 at his age is an accomplishment. But good God, Utah - Really?

 

[OregonDucks]

LMAO at people up in arms that Kobe took so many shots his final game. his teammates passed him the ball for him to take that many shots, they wanted him to take that many shots. Laker fans wanted him to take that many shots. This is a 19 win team we are talking about. Who gives an F who is taking shots.

 

[Manster7588]

For the first time in my life I routed for Kobe. He went out in a special way.

I don't think wade, lebron anybody else will get near the coverage Kobe has. The whole world was watching.

 

[Bolts]

Exactly, doesn't surprise me to hear he went 22-50 and 6-21 from 3 point range. That's been the Kobe we've seen all to well the last several years.

The only difference is that he made over 40% of them, at least from the field overall. Scoring 60 is impressive, but considering the team he played learned earlier that their playoff chances were gone I'm not as surprised. If you're gonna take 50 shots you should score at least 60.

Well, if you can't go out with another title, I guess dropping 60 in your last game is as good a way to go out as any.
