Watched G3 of 01 Finals vs Sixers...Kobe's defense was so critical in winning that series

Young Kob restored the feeling

Plays like the 360 layup is why I get irritated when cats act like Kobe was just some average athlete. Frobe is one of the most athletic wings of all-time. No wing today has the body control of young Kobe.

Finishing up reading this Slam tribute mag (which is excellent btw) that I've been reading off and on, and I didn't know Bean's venture capital fund group had they're hands in Epic games (Fortnite niccas) and LegalZoom .

I knew he was on that BodyArmor wave, but I didn't know exactly how deep the Bryant Stibel well ran. Make a nicca wanna download that Robinhood app asap to stop talking about getting into this investing shyt and act on it.

Yeah when Kobe decided to start investing and doing business he went full on. He did everything 110% with the expectation of being the best.

download that app and get started breh. Boiler Room thread in HL has brehs that are pretty knowledgeable.

If the rape trial and shoulder surgery didn’t fukk up his summer we would have seen basketball played on another level in 2004

03 Kobe was as good as any basketball player ever. He regressed in 04 due to obvious reasons.

"When I first came in at 8, is really trying to 'plant your flag' sort of thing," Bryant said. "I got to prove that I belong here in this league. I've got to prove that I'm one of the best in this league. You're going after them. It's nonstop energy and aggressiveness and stuff."

The number change became a "clean slate" after Shaquille O'Neal was traded in 2004. With it came a new mindset from the future Hall of Famer.

"Then 24 is a growth from that," he explained. "Physical attributes aren't there the way they used to be, but the maturity level is greater. Marriage, kids. Start having a broader perspective being one of the older guys on the team now, as opposed to being the youngest. Things evolve."

As a soccer fan, it’s only natural that Kobe would want to wear number 10. It’s generally known that the player who wears number 10 on a soccer team is the playmaker, the go-to-guy, the best player on the squad.
