The 2015-2016 Kobe Appreciation thread: Let's get some Kobe love going up in here

[Nick Young]

There hasn't been enough Kobe threads in recent days, so it's only appropriate we make a Kobe appreciation thread.

Use this thread to talk about all of your favorite Kobe moments throughout the years.

Bonus question: Predict the based mamba's stats for the upcoming season!

I say 22/7/4 on 48% shooting, 30 minutes a game.

Farewell tour, 24/5/4 on 42ish%. Allstar mvp. Miss or make postseason by a game. Turns it up down the stretch.

*Favorite moment: making ft on a torn Achilles to send team to the playoffs. Tough.

[Trollsmasher]

21/4/4 on 51% TS

worst defender in the league by RAPM

[Bankaii]

So the same Kobe that has never even shot 48% ever in his career, coming off his second major injury and much older with a worse team, is going to magically shot 48%?

Kobetards:facepalm

And he's never averaged 7 assists or rebounds before.

When Kobe plays as PassBe, he easily shoots close to 50%. I assume Kobe will be playing much of this season in PassBe mode in order to preserve his body for the playoffs where he can go in to Gawdbe mode.

Kobe top 100 dunks up to 2014
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jPj39ZxHvRU

People hate on Kobe's dunks, saying he's no chance a top 5 dunker of all time. I can see you making an ARGUMENT that he's not but no chance? Please. I'd say he's top 5 if include all aspects of dunks. He has facials, reverses, double pumps, alley oops, tip dunks, windmills, 360's, 1 foot, 2 foot, in traffic, out of traffic, he's got it all as far as in game dunks. And he's posterized great players unlike Lebron honestly. Kobe dunked on Duncan twice that I can remember. Timmy didn't even want to jump.

We all know he dunked on Dwight Howard, Yao Ming, Sabonis, Rik Smits, Dirk, AK47

I honestly may put him 3rd behind Vince and MJ in that order...Seriously...

3 guys that rarely got dunked on. Dirk doesn't get dunked on that often from what I recall even though he's a shitty defender. Its not easy to dunk on 7 footers.........Smits rarely got dunked on. I've seen all his games, I'd assume you'd believe me on that.

And Sabonis didn't get dunked on much either...

Also, David Robinson, Josh Smith, Ben Wallace, Omeka Okafor, Gerald Wallace and Kris Humphries at the same time, at like 60 years old, lol

Kope Top 50 Plays...Locks up Wade and Lebron back to back at the 3:07 mark...

In before Smoke says "thats cute, they locked him up on the regular" or something like that. But its irrelevant in this thread since this a Kobe Appreciation thread.....
