LA announces Kobe Bryant day

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

The haters can hate all they want but if they were honest with themselves......they would have wanted Kobe on their team when he was in his prime.

You sure you want to escalate this?

 

[DJ Fieri]

I can't even look at you right now, @Mecca.

So no passing someone on the freeways?

Oh, no doubt we would have gotten along REALLY well!



I don't know what @DJ is booing about.

Back in our F@nnation days, he was a gigantic cyber-slut.

@CitySushi is clearly not hating. It was said in a joking matter. Unfortunately @Lakers+USC=#1 and @ChiefsLakers67 were the only 2 Lakers fans (who posted in this thread) to pickup on this.

My "Fuck You" was a joke.

 

[Lakers+USC=#1]

If my husband works doubles every day this week, AGAIN, I just might take you up on that offer if Sushi doesn't.

Lol wait, what?

I'll remember Kobe for all the great stuff he's done, but that last game will not be one of them. You may think about the 60 points, but I think about the 50 (FIFTY!) shots he took. I've never seen anything like it.

Majority of people will not think of those 50 shots, it will always be known by Kobe going out with 60.

Somewhere, MJ is wondering why he

Kobe day should be changed to 6-30, in honor of what his box score looked like last year.

Nailed it.

So, is Warriors day 3/4 for their choking finals performance, or is it 10/25 (the day the Cavs raise their banner and receive their rings)?

"Los Angeles city leaders have declared this Wednesday as "Kobe Bryant Day," honoring the Los Angeles Lakers icon who played 20 seasons in purple and gold before retiring in April.

The honor, which was announced in a statement Monday, falls on a day that commemorates the two jersey numbers that Bryant wore during his Lakers career: 8 and 24.

Bryant, who won five championships among numerous other accolades, also will be honored for philanthropy work.

"Among his astonishing list of accomplishments, Kobe Bryant's 20-year career with the Los Angeles Lakers ranks him No. 1 all-time for NBA players who played for a single franchise, and 'Kobe Bryant Day' is the City of Los Angeles' way of thanking him for his single-minded dedication to excellence, the fans and the entire City and region of Los Angeles," L.A. City Councilman José Huizar said in a statement."


City of L.A. will celebrate 'Kobe Bryant Day'

Just missed his birthday: 8/23

Yes they did! But the thing is, the outcome of the game never mattered anyways. Either way Kobe was going home after the game. I mean, it's cool if you want to view Kobe's last game as great, I get it. But don't try to justify it because he won a meaningless game, that literally no one would have cared about if it wasn't Kobe's last game.

It wasn't his shooting percentage that made it so great (although he did shoot 44% which isn't bad for a SG) or the fact that the Lakers won.

It was about the way it all happened. At the start of the game, he couldn't hit a shot and it looked like it was going to be really, really bad. But he kept shooting, his teammates kept feeding him the ball, he got hot and by the end of the game...the shots he was hitting were ridiculous.

Would have preferred for him to have a final game more like the one MJ had when he retired after the 2nd three-peat. But all things considered, it was a pretty cool exit.
