2012-2013 for Kobe was my fav season of his. Literally every day he was being criticized for his team losing and most blame was on him. Even talks of TRADING him away. He activated MAMBA mentality and he started having games where he went 27 and 10 ASSISTS. He changed his entire game to be a facilitator and be a scorer and his team started winning games. And we all know about his last game :(

Thank you Stephen A for standing up for Kobe when everyone else at ESPN clearly is not.

I wish these three would reunite. This is by far the best version of FT and the peak of 21st century sports media.

Kobe Bean Bryant carried the Lakers franchise for years and years. Greatest Laker ever RIP to the GOAT competitor. He is up in heaven chucking 40 shots and not a damn thing wrong with that

Kobe was balling the year he tore his Achilles...

it’s 2020 & this analysis of Mike Dantoni is still relevant. He still coaches the same and can’t win in the championship. Kobe got killed for it back then, but Harden is praised now.

Funny looking back at this all the years later, D’antoni was the problem Kobe basically ran himself into the ground this year and never recovered after his Achilles.
