The election carried things for awhile, but that is over with. How about branching out into other things to discuss?

Kobe has been irrelevant for quite some time even before he retired.

I'm running on fumes currently, hence this.

Time for some new blood to inject some life into the place.

He really was an amazing player, man, troll-inspiration, man-crush, etc.

Kobe will forever live on via this board, regardless.

I'd argue Rose going to the Knicks has impacted this board more. Almost zero posts on him now where there was at least 1 daily for the better part of the past couple seasons

That's because TDK/Dorian/DWCMA have stopped posting about the Bulls.

And it's not because they've stopped posting in general - TDK was extremely active throughout the election season. Quite frankly, the Bulls have extinguished the homer-fire that once burned in those three.

Kobe drove ESPN, and in his later years AngerSports and AngerGeneral. It was always Kobe vs... comparisons.

Kobe vs MJ
Kobe vs Reggie
Kobe vs McGrady
Kobe vs Carter
Kobe vs Iverson
Kobe vs Lebron
Kobe vs Wade

Dude was basically the gold standard, and probably the most polarizing figure in basketball. Even now his haters try to diminish him in anyway possible.

If you weren't a laker homer you would view him the same way everyone else does...just another one of those guys you listed....not THE guy...

The haters were constantly making the "Kobe vs..." comparisons, not Laker fans. They were desperate to knock Kobe down a peg, something you don't do to "just one of those guys".

Let it burn, fat boy.

He absolutely was the most polarizing player in NBA history.
