Kobe was injured that series and still went out shooting.
lol at how quick the narratives shift.
32yo Kobe plays hurt and looks like shyt: "At least he tried "
38yo Bron plays hurt and does well outside of not hitting threes: "No excuses, he's always hurt!"
Kobe actually shot WORSE from three in that series (5-22, 23%) than Bron did in this one (7-26, 27%). And 32yo Kobe went out with a weak ass 17-3-1 in a Game 4 blowout loss while letting Terry drop 32 on his head, but you try to claim he "went out shooting." While 38yo Bron had 40-10-9 in a close loss against a better team and still getting nothing but hate from some of yall.
Also hilarious that "went out shooting" is a good thing whenever Kobe misses shots, but it's Bron tried to go out shooting and miss any at all he gets screamed at.
Bron went out afraid of posting up JJ barrea
.
Barea only guarded Bron 4 times that entire series, and when Bron tried to post him up, Barea flopped and got the offensive foul call. There was literally 1 possession after that where Bron didn't didn't post him up because he didn't want to get in foul trouble. The other two times, Dallas hedged with the help from double/triple teams while Bron was still 20 feet from the basket, there was nowhere to post.
I can't imagine what it's like to be a basketball fan who knows nothing but narratives and can't even recognize what's happening on the court.
