1997 - broken wrist, only man with balls to shoot vs utah and shaq gets no blame
1998 - held back by del harris, froze out of all star game by george karl
1999 - lockout 50 game season + rodman drama killed their season

2001 - dominates playoffs only for shaq to hijack finals mvp
2002 - dominates spurs in playoffs only to get intentional food poisoning in sacramento right before finals
2003 - torn shoulder and knee vs spurs. horry misses shot to cost them the series. then surgery in colorado which started rape trial drama cause a woman wanted some of his basketball money
2004 - beef with shaq all year plus malone injured in finals, flies from denver to LA at half time just to hit game winner and heads back to colorado with life on the line, vanessa has a miscarriage and all people care about is his poor shooting in the finals
2005 - rudy T steps down after great start. kobe and odom both miss around 20 games each
2006 - 1 rebound away from eliminating suns and loses after scoring 50, blackballed by mvp voters and left off 8 ballots.
2007 - coulda got jason kidd but management said they were waiting on bynum
2008 - bynum and ariza injured in finals plus kobes torn shooting hand
2009 - lebron blows a possible finals matchup choking to dwight howard, dislocated finger in finals
2010 - lebron and shaq blow a possible all time great finals matchup, fractured index finger in finals, torn knee
2011 - torn knee forces kobe to play career low minutes as a starter, league voids chris paul trade for "basketball reasons"
2012 - gasol chokes free throws that basically lose the series to thunder
2013 - rips achilles dragging a broken team to the playoffs
2014 - breaks leg right after coming back from achilles
2015 - rips shoulder right after coming back from broken leg
2016 - drops 60 with a game winner in final game and people only mock him for his shot attempts
2018 - wins oscar for an animated basketball story and is blacklisted by the academy for being an accused rapist almost 20 years prior
2020 - kobe dies in a helicopter accident with his daughter because of basketball. costing the WNBA its possible michael jordan/kobe bryant all time transcendental type player to take it to the next level and who knows. maybe get an nba try out with the Lakers.
side notes
- his parents pam and joe disowned him for a 2nd time because he wouldn't buy them a home worth more than 500,000 so they sold all his memorabilia
- some fans hate the man with such a passion that they spend every waking moment of their lives trashing his legacy and trying to vote him out of the top 10-15 all time
and even after all of this he stands tall with all of this
