Re: "Fuck it I'm retiring" moment by Kobe Bryant
To be fair, there were only 18 seconds left on the shot clock.

I dunno what's more amusing, him jacking up a 27 footer, or the Philly defender trying to contest the shot.

If you look closer, you'll notice Kobe Bryant was quadrupled teamed on that play. Again.

Re: "Fuck it I'm retiring" moment by Kobe Bryant
If Kobe randomly jacking up a bad shot means "Fuck it, I'm retiring"........then Kobe has retired a few hundred times in the past 2 decades.
Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are dumber than that.

Re: "Fuck it I'm retiring" moment by Kobe Bryant
But really Abe brings up a good point. It seems like Kobe's interests are to have as much fun this year on his last hurrah and jacking up 15-20 shots a game. But the Lakers are full of young players who could use the year as instrumental to their development. As a Lakers fan, I'm not sure I'd want Kobe to be using this year as a "zero fucks given year, and I'm going to make sure I eat" while sacrificing the growth of Randle, Russell, etc...

Well, we need to be really really bad to keep that lotto pick. So, in a way, it's good to be worse.Buckets wrote:But really Abe brings up a good point.

Yeah, because that methodology has worked so well for the Sixers.

And the Lakers will have tons of money to go after FA's this offseason. It could be a pretty different roster aside from Randle, Russell, Clarkson.

Plus, we could point to the Spurs tanking for Duncan. Worked out alright for them.
