The sweetest part of this moment for me as Laker and Kobe fan is Kobe going out on his own terms in all his glory in the way I REMEMBERED him.
After the Achilles, Broken Knee and Torn rotator cuff it felt like the game was being taken away from him unfairly. He was playing some of his best basketball in years prior to his MAJOR injuries.
This wasn't some gradual fall off and fade to black ala KG, pierce, VC, AI, GP, Ray Allen etc.
It was great to see him in that light. Pushing to the finish line. One of his greatest performances in his final game. His last memory on the court will be a triumphant one. No one can ever take that away from him and he earned all of it. Everything.
Thank you Mamba!
Ive never been witness to a sporting event like this.
It was like watching a rocky movie. You could see how exhausted he was early in the 4th. And u knew he felt all those 20 years in his bones/joints
But those last 3 mins it was like the rocky theme went off in his head and he left it all on the court
Laker fans are gonna be real sad on opening day. I had to see opening day the last few years both in Baltimore with no squirrel dance by Ray Lewis to ring in the game, and for someone to be on the field at Yankee Stadium playing shortstop other than Derek Jeter, and had to see someone other than Mariano close out games for them . Still feels wrong to not hear enter sandman playing over the intercom when the ninth inning starts and the Yankees have the lead. He tore his ACL a week before my last game I was able to attend in the Bronx It's not a good feeling after growing up watching these guys place my entire youth.classic game. that was the perfect ending to kobe's career. still can't believe i won't see him play next year
"Manning" won the ring?It's better than Jeter, Manning won the ring so that takes the cake though
So many mixed emotions,born and raised in LA,Even tho I rooted for clippers I was a Kobe Stan,I met him once in Marina Del Rey,he was with Vanessa walking out a parking lot,it was also my birthday cuz we were going to a restaurant there,and he autographed my shirt,and to have his last game also on my birthday,idk if it's the henny but I'm a bit tears eyed
