Kobe will still retire. and he should. better to go out like this than like a bum

[kennethgriffin]

Kobe saved his last season. he got his swagger back.

he knocked off all the rust he accumulated for 3 years

great

but that doesnt mean he should stick around for another 2-3 years... he should go out averaging 25+ like we were used to seeing his whole career

the last visual we should have is kobe dropping 40 on someone

and now we might be able to see that.


if he takes back his retirement plans... then he deserves to go out the way he was playing the first month of the season


wrap it up

go out ontop


and if kobes playing the way he is right now by the end of the season. theres no doubt he'l make the olympic squad and have his final game winning a championship.

I agree. Goes out on top in his 20th season. It will be mythological. People will keep wondering how much longer he could've played. Jordan almost had it perfect with how he left it in 98. Then he had to go phuck it up

[SpaceJam]

That's what I've been saying, if he comes back who knows how long, if at all he could put it up like this again

Finish the season playing well, go out like that.

20 years, 1 franchise, 5 championships. Done

[Kawhi]

Implying that he isn't a bum right now. He is still fighting Derrick Rose for worst player in the league.

i've been as straight up about kobe as anyone on the planet and thoroughly destroyed kobe and called him out many times before the last 7 games


but truth be told... kobe over the last half of the month has been playing as good as anyone in the nba


kobes averaging 21ppg over the last 7 games in only 29 minutes per game


thats 26ppg per 36 minutes

and 29ppg per 40 minutes


kobe averaged 40mpg or just under 11 times in his career...


so for the minutes kobe is playing. hes basically playing at a prime level at the moment


so dont give me this derrick rose nonsense

you're the most delusional Kobe stan on ISH that isn't an outright troll. That much is true, no? If you disagree, give me the name of another poster who is. I would like to know for my records.

29ppg per 40 minutes is a superstar


i'm not being delusional

and hes averaging over 50%

[sportjames23]

Hol' up, OP. Hol' the **** up.

Weren't you ripping into Kobe a little while back? Straight tearing into him.

Now you wanna prop him up again because he's playing better?


Fair weather muh****a. :facepalm

i've never been a blind homer. i continued to defend kobe in terms of all time discussions while calling him out for his current play during the early stages of the season

and thats just me being honest.... where does it say in the fan handbook that you have to lie to yourself and others when a guy shoots 25% and loses 99% of his games


kobe straight up sucked. period. nuff said


i'l leave the blind homerism to lebron fans who still to this day think he played great in the 2015 finals

[GIF REACTION]

You going to keep ducking me James?

Square up, BITCH.

Nikka, where you wanna meet up?

[stalkerforlife]

No.

Kobe should sign with a contender and get his 6th ring.

He's too good to retire.

[VengefulAngel]

Agreed, I think I'm turning into a kobe fan lol. He's proving everyone wrong with his play and it's fun to watch.

He's still dominating and a fierce competititor.. guys like him and mj can easily play till 40. Especially in the post, other players just don't have the footwork or skill these days..

It would be hard to hang them up, especially if he can keep this up for the rest of the season. Who cares about a perfect ending, id rather see a player have a go and give it his all than quit early and regret it later..

If can maintain that level of play, i dont mind seeing him one more year.

[90sgoat]

Great seeing Kobe again, he has been missed, still the most entertaining game of all the wing players.
