Kobe likely has torn achillies

[PJR]

Awful. Father Time is undefeated. He needed 10 rounds, but he TKO'd Mr. Bryant.

Wow... Now everyone here knows I'm no Bean fan but damn, he deserves better than to go out like that.

It's possible those last 2 free throws were the last shots he will take in an NBA game until mid-late next season. Might be the last time we see Kobe play at a top level.

What a shitty way to go out

Also, this has to be the worst example of gross negligence I've seen in sports in a while. How could Pringles and the front office of LA allow Kobe to play the type of minutes he has accumulated the past few weeks? Everyone could see it wasn't going to end well, and here we are.

Heads should roll over this.

What's worse is that after Kobe initially hurt his leg, trainer Gary Vitti was begging MDA to take Kobe out. When he did nothing, Vitti was livid.

Eerily similar to the RG3/Shanahan episode. Negligence in its purest form.

[oh the horror]

Thank God. Easy first round for the Thunder.

Kobe stans get to crawl back into their caves until the Winter.

Good riddance, mother ****ers.

I'm sorry but you're just a joke of a person.

We get it. Your an "Internet troll". That's your shtick and online persona.


But lets keep it real. Man to man. No well adjusted person comes online to be a miserable jerk off for the sake of annoying other human beings.


Real life must be garbage for you. And that's no lie.

A knee injury and ankle injury weren't enough, but a foot injury took Kobe Bryant out.

The Los Angeles Lakers guard was helped into the locker room Friday by trainer Gary Vitti after falling with an injury for the third time. The Lakers said the injury probably was a torn Achilles tendon and would have an MRI on Saturday.

"I can't walk," Bryant said when asked if he thought he might return this season.

Bryant spent most of Friday night's game against the Golden State Warriors getting banged up but didn't leave until apparently hurting his foot on a foul. He writhed in pain before knocking down two free throws with 3 minutes, 8 seconds left in the fourth quarter, then the Lakers fouled intentionally to get Bryant off the court.

The Lakers held on to win 118-116. But it couldn't have happened without Bryant, who had 34 points, five rebounds and four assists while playing the first 45 minutes of the game. The Lakers trailed by nine points early in the fourth quarter, but Bryant and company launched a furious comeback. When Bryant went out, the game was tied at 109.

"I hate it for Kobe. I hate it for us. I hate it for L.A.," Lakers coach Mike D'Antoni said.

Dwights hoding back those tears.... All of la will have a collective cry tonight.

[Fudge]

Not even a HUGE Kobe fan, but is this not only a huge blow to the Lakers, but to the whole league.

[Heavincent]

Nice one Pringles Man

No doubt L.A will be calling for his head, even more so than before.

[Levity]

Thank God. Easy first round for the Thunder.

Kobe stans get to crawl back into their caves until the Winter.

Good riddance, mother ****ers.

[Element]

F.uck...all this bullshit for nothing

[Cross30]

He had a huge assist from Mike Antoni though.

And people will claim that Kobe decides when/if he goes out. I say if a coach has lost control of his team and his players don't respect him enough to listen to what he says, it's time to go in another direction. I can't imagine any scenario where Phil would've let Kobe at his age play 46+ minutes per game for that long of a stretch.

The Lakers probably would've been much better off giving Mike Brown more than 5 games. This Lakers train wreck has been possibly the biggest disappointment season in NBA history and Kobe's injury is just the cherry on top of the shit cupcake.

Not even going to be fun to root against the Lakers now. Lakers will most likely lose to the the Rockets and Spurs if they don't rest their stars, but there's no joy in it now
