All-Star Game was Kobe's last stand

he should retire. if not, trade him. i'm a Kobe fan but there is nothing he can do to help the franchise move foward while being on the team. The lakers will be back. they always are.

I never thought, at the time of that All-Star game, that I'd be hearing this from Kobe fans in 2013.

He was a year and a half early, but yeah, it's over now. :smh:

He had a good run, Lake show will be back in 2018!! :yes::yes:

"He was a year and a half early"-- Has Kobe had a major moment since? What has been his biggest? (The biggest that comes to mind for me is hitting the free throws after the original injury as his team was scrambling to get into the playoffs.)

2016 we get Kevin Love and 2017 Westbrook depending on what Durant does in 2016. If Durant resigns Westbrook may want to leave to be a #1 on his own team and if Durant doesn't resign Westbrook may leave the following year.
 
Re: All-Star Game was tobe's last stand

Kobe tried to remind everyone that if there’s a problem with the Lakers, it has little to do with No. 24.

You could see it in the fourth quarter. He was exhausted. His ball-hogging and one-on-five mentality allowed the East to slash a healthy double-digit lead to two with little more than a minute to play.

“The fourth quarter, man, I had nothing left,” Bryant said.

That didn’t stop him from shooting

i don't much care for jason whitlock's editorials (hit or miss, IMO) and flawed internal logic is usually the reason.

the quotes above are a perfect example.

I would have thought you would agree with those sentiments, cran.

I see exactly what cranrab regards as "flawed internal logic" regarding the player he calls "the garden weasel chucker":

"Kobe tried to remind everyone that if there’s a problem with the Lakers, it has little to do with No. 24... That didn’t stop him from shooting"

jason whitlock provided evidence which refuted his own position:

ball hogging
one on five mentality
continuing to shoot with nothing left

does not support "if there’s a problem with the Lakers, it has little to do with No. 24"
 
You know, I was confusing the two All-Star games.

I think you just provided the proof that Whitlock was wrong that the 2011 All-Star Game was Kobe's last stand. He wasn't the MVP in 2013 but I think that work in the clutch qualifies as a last stand (so far).

I didn't thing the Allstar game before was his last stand, I knew Kobe had more in the tank.. But last season when he was going for the scoring title, I knew that shit would take years off his career, and that last Allstar game would be the last time he would stand shoulder to shoulder with the greats... You can tell he was playing it like it was game 7 while everyone else was basically having fun..

I interpreted that being written from Kobe's perspective. I actually think he's lockstep with you on this one.

a sportswriter insinuating himself into tobe's perspective.

in which case, the evidence would still not support the sportswriter's attribution.

in terms of summarizing tobe's play and events that occurred (east mounting a comeback off of tobe's poor play), jason whitlock and i are definitely lockstep.
 

I remember in 2011 when Jason Whitlock correctly called Kobe’s all-star MVP as his last shining moment on the NBA’s big stage.





I wonder if that will prove to be what we saw with Curry and/or LeBron today, both on NBA teams that are not guarantees to make the playoffs.
