In his own words, Kobe discusses passing Jordan. Writes greatest article I ever read

[STATUTORY]

Chilling metaphors

What a journey this has been. Setting this mark is a huge honor. I’m aware of Father Time’s curfew. He has sent me to my room to brush my teeth before he tucks me in, but I wouldn’t be me if I didn’t walk to the bathroom slowly. I wouldn’t be me if I didn’t act as if someone misplaced the toothpaste. I wouldn’t be me if I didn’t brush every tooth twice, brush my tongue three times, floss until my gums bleed and rinse with mouthwash until the inside of my mouth burns and then goes numb.

I would not be the kid that bounced back after zero, and I would not be honoring the man that inspired me to challenge everything.

:bowdown: :bowdown: read that entire paragraph in Kobe's voice. literally the greatest article by an athlete or former athlete i have ever read

Mamba OUT

[The_Yearning]

Short and sweet-- Mamba style.

[SpecialQue]

Damn, Kobe must have some mean cankers if brushing his teeth hurts so much. Nasty ass motherfvcker.

[Mr. Jabbar]

Anybody with eyes knew Kobe looked up to Mj and only started saying Magic because everyone was comparing him to him. This guy celebrated all his chips exactly like Mj. Phil Jackson said he use to watch MY tapes like a obsession. Now he writes his 2nd article after passing him

[JellyBean]

:applause: That was awesome!!

[pauk]

Should have went with my Lion analogy instead. Lions > Teeth/Parents. :coleman:

How many hours a day do you think he watched MJ tapes?

GOAT gon recognize GOAT. Kobe grew up idolizing Jordan and now he passed him on the scoring list. What a joy for the fan, and mostly, for Kobe himself. :applause:

Only betas have curfews

[STATUTORY]

Only betas have curfews
or kids with non absentee fathers

so not Lebron

[Eric Cartman]

or kids with non absentee fathers

so not Lebron

For a black man with an absent father, crackwhore mother, growing up in the hood I'd say he's a pretty great person :confusedshrug:

[red1]

kobe hyping this up because he knows it will be his last real achievement

[KyrieTheFuture]

You don't seem to read very much so this isn't very surprising

[Megabox!]

It is well known that Kobe is the most eloquent and most intelligent player in the league.

[GimmeThat]

listen.

if you don't have 100% of the population agree that Kobe is in the top 5 if not top 6.

I don't believe he can be idolized.




only he may have alrEADY PASSED JORDAN!!!!
