Very nice block and defense from DeMaR DeRoZaN

gonna look good in a lakers uniform in a few years :applause:

[Dr. Ice]

Not gonna lie that looked pretty pathetic by kobe.

Father time waits for no man.

[redboy]

kobe has about as much lift as pau at this point in his career:roll:

[Jameerthefear]

:applause: passing of the torch

[sc19]

Dat flop though.

Video.

[HoopsFanNumero1]

Sad...

[retaxis]

Dat flop though.
LOL he hit the floor the moment he saw his shot got blocked. Flopbe at it again.

[RoseCity07]

Kobe really did a damn fine job staying healthy. It looks like injuries are going to conquer him. He put up much more a fight than T-Mac. Kobe was playing at a high level right before he got hurt.

[GoRapz]

DeRozan top 5 SG in the league

[BurningHammer]

It was read easily. Yeah, Kobe was pretty rusty.

[Legends66NBA7]

He can go to the Lakers right now.

Couldn't resist.

[SamuraiSWISH]

First of all, injury aside. He's 35. Keep that in mind. MJ at the same age in '98 completely and finally lost his hops. The body just starts to deteriorate athletically rapidly after your early 30s. Kobe even got a piece of one of Jordan's shots when he was 35 too.

With that said the major thing that sticks out to me about this play is the piss poor, hero ball, selfish shot selection. He wasn't fooling anyone with the move, it was obvious he was going to shoot it. And he had a defender draped in the front, and the back on the shot. The smart move would've been kicking it out.

Watch the play, the second he goes into his pivot he has basically 3 defenders on him. He could've made a pass to Gasol near the rim, Blake was wide open, as well as #20. Just poor, overly theatrical shot selection.

[plowking]

Will Kobe be fined for that flop? Its sad to see a great era specific player resorting to this. He must know his time is up.

[zoom17]

:oldlol: Kobe crawling on the floor

[KyleKong]

In before Kobe gets fined for a flop.

[AintNoSunshine]

:roll: @ Kobe's patented turnaround J that he stole from MJ

[keep-itreal]

:roll: :roll:

still playing heroball at age 35. He was lucky he had andrew bynum and pau gasol to grab all those bricks for him

[retaxis]

:roll: @ Kobe's patented turnaround J that he stole from MJ
turnaround jumpers been around longer before MJ was born

[AintNoSunshine]

turnaround jumpers been around longer before MJ was born

And somehow it's patented by Kobe out of everyone that's long been using it and perfected by MJ

[branslowski]

:roll: @ Kobe's patented turnaround J that he stole from MJ

Jordan also created the fade-away Jumper?:biggums:

[Knoe Itawl]

But but according to Kobe Stans he doesn't flop.

[Doranku]

But but according to Kobe Stans he doesn't flop.
And with Kobe's return, of course this guy rises from the ashes. :lol

[The_Yearning]

Am I the only one seeing how lethal Kobe still is? He's just rusty. Regular Kobe would have pumped fake there and drew the foul on the young fella. Or he could have faked him out and do a scoop a la The Dream layup.

[branslowski]

But but according to Kobe Stans he doesn't flop.

How can you disrespect Kobe when he's your only reason for posting on ISH?

I mean, you are one of his original haters, but seriously bro...You were trolling him for years posting "he will never win without Shaq"....Then he did, and you vanished...You actually haven't posted on these boards for the longest untill, ofcource tonight, on Kobe's return.

Riiight. So I've only posted here off and on in the past couple of years because Kobe won a title back in what, 2010? OK. Bryant fans are seriously the most delusional ones on earth. And that's why even Jeff says:

This guy's been running an NBA website for 10+ years. Notice he didn't say Kobe haters, or Bron fans or Jordan fans. Everyone knows what's up with you guys. That's why most of you are on my ignore list

Also noticed you pulled the typical stan tactic of ignoring what I said and focusing on something else. Just like a good stan

[ispin69]

That FLOP. :oldlol: On his fours like a doggie

[chazzy]

It looks like he bumps Lowry on the fall. Thought he tweaked his ankle for a second

Dude, you can try n wiggle around the truth for new dumb posters, but we both know your only reason for posting here is for a player you hate....I'm willing to bet my life that 95% of your post involve Kobe in some kind of way.

Even when you post "on and off" the "on" is almost always about Kobe.:oldlol:

Tonight is mostlikely the most you posted in one night since Lakers lost in the Finals in 08'.:oldlol:

[moe94]

That was painful to watch. The way he just collapses on the floor. That's Kobe...

[kNIOKAS]

That's for not passing. He had a teammate behind him alright.

:lol

[poido123]

That FLOP. :oldlol: On his fours like a doggie

You want to call out Kobe flopping when your 265 pound hero does shit like this :oldlol:

Time to embrace dat 25 and change the jersey #

Some music to listen to while watching the block: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6RGcb7alSk0 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6RGcb7alSk0=0:55)

[East_Stone_Ya]

that was an impressive block :applause:

You do realize that your "fix" involved us listening to the same music while still watching him get blocked by DeRozan, right?

[IGOTGAME]

:oldlol: You guys don't stop, even the more "reasonable" ones huh? If you look closely their legs don't even make contact but nice try though. :oldlol:
Still convinced this is Jeff's troll account.

[Jailblazers7]

Meh, it was a nice defensive play but not all that surprising considering how rusty Kobe looked. I think it will take at least 20 games for Kobe to be comfortable out there.

[tmacattack33]

That's his patented flop right there that he does when shooting and anyone gets any where near his shot.

Good to see he still has it. :applause:

[dgaras]

funny thing is some of these laker posters that love kobe ive seen post here since 06. that is sad. still here worshipping kobe on a forum after 7 years? :roll: :roll:

[SavageMode]

:roll: :roll:

[f0und]

that flop aint what it used to be. back in kobe's heyday, derozen wouldve gotten his nose broke, ala ginobli. kobe really has lost it.

[KyrieTheFuture]

Well I guess Kobe finally embraced flopping

[Andrei89]

Damn 9erempire nowhere to be found. He usually appears as soon as the Heat lose a game.

Most successful "stubborn c*nt" superstar of all-time. :oldlol:

[ispin69]

Watch the disappointment in Gasol just letting his hands go down and not even trying to defend their fast break.

He's been treated like trash and never given any credit for the two rings that kome claims by stealing finals mvp. No wonder he's quit these past 2-3 years. Even now they continue to openly shop him, kome fans continue to blame him. Same story, the guy can only get blame but no credit. Just like Howard gets 5 shots and all the blame for the game meanwhile the guy with 15-20 shots, not his fault.

Kobe is the ultimate most Stubborn / Selfish superstar ever. It's a blessing and curse to him. A very flawed, extremely entertaining, and successful basketball Maverick. So yes, I definitely agree.

Bro you need to take a break from this forum. You've been hating on Kobe for the past 12 hours now. Maybe if you put as much energy into getting a life you wouldn't be such a miserable little bitch

[riseagainst]

dam... ispin is really obsessed about Kobe.

[DCL]

the flop is still in his game. kobe never lost that yet. he owns that move.

[riseagainst]

dang. Poor Kobe will eventually get his groove back. But from the clip you can tell that he is inferior to Lebron in 1 thing: flopping. He really needs to take notes from Lebron on that.
