Kobe Bryant Amazing last 3 minutes in his FINAL GAME REACTION!! | OFFICE BLOKES REACT!!

[@musathomas729]

He went to the NBA right out of high school, he was 38 when he retired.

[@darchon5]

He was actually 37 (4 months short of 38), but close enough. He's the oldest ever to score 60 in a game, by about 5 years!

[@yungkidnf]

Yeap, went in at 18 (same as Lebron)

[@craigbrewton821]

I don't understand why these guys don't even do minimal research before reacting. To me, conjecture about things that are so easily knowable (and don't spoil anything) is really odd.

I don’t think the Bloke’s understand the significance of this. Kobe played 20 years (age 18-38) all for the same team, something that never happens. Brought LA 5 championships. He was LA. His last few seasons were marred by injury (Achilles tendon tear being the worst). For him to go out like this was huge for basketball.

[@Fleeingpanda]

I think the closest thing for them would've been Ryan Giggs for Man United, though I think one of the blokes would like to forget him. Played over 20 years in the Premier League and scored in every season except his last.

[@jamesdakrn]

Basically, imagine if like Cristiano stayed w/ United for his entire career, and at his final season, he was just completely done physically and was terrible, but in his final game scored 4 goals inlcuding 2 in added time to win 4-3

Kobe scored an incredible amount of 40 and 50 point games. This was his 20th season which is why he didn’t keep playing. His body was failing him. Too many miles on them legs. I only got to see Kobe play live once in San Antonio, Texas and it was an absolute joy to behold.

[@ReinenReacts]

Same here, I was at the last Kobe game in San Antonio!

[@lelo819]

they were down 10 points with 2:16 left and he brought it back for the win. That's nuts by itself.

[@millardfilmore1403]

yes i wish they had more understanding of basketball only so they could appreciate stuff like this. if he scored 61 and they lost it would still be amazing but the fact that he ALSO got the win is what makes it just THAT more impressive...

[@ThePrincessjanae12]

Back when Kobe first started, it wasn’t required at that time to go to college so he went straight out of high school at age 17. Lebron did the samething as well. Now players have to go to college for at least one year before they get drafted.

For soccer fans, Kobe dying, was to basketball fans the equivalent if Ronaldo retired then died a few years later .. I’m a Jordan fan so I wasn’t a Kobe fan .. me and him are the exact age .. so I’ve know who he is since I was 17 and followed his whole career .. and alway cheered against him.. but when he died it was the first time I ever had tears for someone I didn’t know .. Europeans probably wouldn’t know how hard it was for most men and Boys in America when it happened .. I was in Chicago walking around and just saw men and boys walking in a daze .. I still think don’t think we have gotten over it yet ..

It’s not that exciting tho tbh

[@Plague_Doc22]

@@Simon_Sez People went nuts wtf you on about lol.

[@Simon_Sez]

@@Plague_Doc22 people went nuts because he scored 81 points, not because it was a game full of highlights. You suggested they react to those highlights and it’s my opinion that they’re not exciting highlights compared to games he dropped 55 on MJ in Washington or the comeback against Toronto in Staples later in his career just to think of a couple. Dame’s 55 in these playoffs was more exciting than Devin Booker’s 70 and they were both in losses. I’m just saying that all performances aren’t created equally when it comes to entertainment value - though the *accomplishment* of 81 in a win is amazing, I think even this 60 point finale was more *exciting* than his 81. We can agree to disagree tho 🤷‍♂️

[@Plague_Doc22]

@@Simon_Sez I mean it's a build up of excitement like any game. Nobody is losing their mind because a star player scored their first two points. And with just the highlights the build up is quite fast.

@@Plague_Doc22 I’m gonna rewatch them later today and keep what you said in mind. Definitely not calling it boring by any means especially when they needed all of his points but just in comparison to the huge catalog of ridiculous games he’s had, there’s ones with way more exciting highplay plays

[@ignoblesavage5559]

No he didn't. He took 50 field goal attempts. Wilt took 63 in his 100 pt. game. Hell, way back when, Joe Fulks took 55 FGA in a game where he only scored 35 pts. And in this game (kobe's last), his teammates were purposely passing up shots because they (the teammates, not kobe) REALLY wanted kobe to have a huge game. Didnt hurt he singlehandedly brought them back from, I believe, 12 pts down by making his last 6 straight FGs (yes, he had been gassed earlier & missed something like 20 of his previous 24 shots...& his teammates STILL kept telling him to shoot). Kobe's 50 FGA was 16th all-time. And to be fair he only took 46 FGA in his 81 pt game. For the #2 scoring game ever, he took about the 28th most FGAs. Of course, in 1969 wilt scored 66, going 29 for 35 from the field, over 80%. Ridiculous. But kobe's 60 pt game was most remarkable in that it was the last in a 20 yr career, & NOBODY in NBA history ever came close to even 50 in their last game.

[@robertfanion2815]

As a Celtics fan (Lakers biggest rival) it hurts to know Kobe will not be there to watch the rivalry continue, truly one of the greatest. Now the Lakers have Lebron who whines constantly and walks off the court when he's losing.

And so that last team he played coincidentally is the Jazz where he goes off for 69 points.
