I'm just not sure how anyone can watch this Lakers vs Nuggets game and honestly say Kob wasn't at minimum a top 5 player of all time
And ppl say he was selfish bc he didn't avg 7-8 assists...man was getting 5 dimes as a SG and I'm sure plenty more hockey assists
We'll never see another Mamba in our lifetimes...had to order 2 Kobe canvases today to put up in my mancave
Long live the Black Mamba
Can't believe breh is dead 
this year has been unreal.

Was never gonna have high assist numbers in the triangle offense and yet he has the most assist among shooting guards all time

Overlooked bc the media and casual narrative of being selfish
Kobe was a damn good passer

On the road, opponent's fans going crazy over typical, routine play from the Mamba
No one in the NBA generates this type of organic excitement
Kobe very rarely handled the ball enough to rack up that many assists anyway
Problem is people assume he handled the ball as much as PGs do when he didn't, he played like how a wing should play, he didn't need to monopolize the ball in order to make an impact on either end

Watching Kobe live in person you realize how much he played off the ball...playing off the ball and still being the most dangerous player on the court is a lost art
I love young Kobe. Dude was hungry and desperate to prove he belonged. To be an 18 year old kid in the NBA and looking off vets because you know you're going to be that dude takes a level of mental toughness and psychopathy that 99% of guys will never have. Bean alienated a lot of old heads early on and it didn't phaze his confidence in his ability. He got better at picking his spots, (he had to) but you can tell when he was young, the game was moving too fast for him. Seeing him grow from an undisciplined, overzealous phenom to a living legend who had mastered the craft was incredible. He went from Daniel-San to Mr. Miyagi in real time. His journey was special.
