When Kobe passed away 😭💔. I thought about this interview. It spoke of his competitiveness. He didn't believe in participation trophies!!! With all of this generation's load management B.S. I am so glad to have grew up in the Kobe era. He gave it his all every game whether you loved and cheered him or you booed him out of the building you were going to get his absolute best. Rest in peace to Kobe 🐍, his beautiful daughter Gianna and the other 7 people who passed away. Tomorrow is promised to no one.💔

[@AFR0MAMBA]

U N V Me I thought about their western conference trophy ceremony and nobody was celebrating, not a smile in the room. Nobody even wanted to touch that trophy haha!

[@jahshxse2858]

I’m getting used to all the ways you say Kobe died. Idk why but hearing “Kobe passed away” still doesn’t seem right

[@PCGamer13HD]

a lack of that "load management BS" is the reason Kobe tore his Achilles and cut his career shorter than it should of been, it's also the reason many old school players walk like they've been hit by a truck and they aren't even 60. with that "load management BS" earlier in his career Kobe would likely of played 2+ more seasons and almost certainly would of passed Malone for 2nd all-time in scoring but because they made him play heavy minutes every game all season his body failed him and led to his final seasons being as bad as they were

[@nr30199]

@@PCGamer13HD Kobe played for 20 years and he gave it his all every time. Eventually everybody's body "fails" them but he gave maximum effort every time. Injuries are part of the game if you can't deal with that find another job. Bye

[@AHB9191]

This simply just disgusts me. I see some comments and all they say is "What's the big deal?, Let them celebrate, Why be so serious?" My question to those people is do they even watch sports? No one pays money to watch a losing team. They are 14-41. The great athletes from any sport are remembered for their talent and drive to win and be the best. From Jordan, Magic and Bird, to Montana to Derek Jeter and to the many others. Kobe is a future hall of famer and one of the greats of his time and to see the situation he is in is simply sad. People blame him for this team losing which is shocking to me. Let's not blame his teammates for being inept let's blame the best player on the team who is in his late 30's and is struggling with injuries. Kobe is obviously going to retire in the upcoming years and my question is who is going to be the guy when Kobe is gone. They don't have a Steph Curry or James Harden or Kevin Durant. The future looks bleak for Laker fans. Their no structure and no leadership. It's a shame what has happened to this legendary franchise.

[@AHB9191]

4starKT They would still lose games anyway. They are in the west. Putting Jeremy Lin for 30 to 35 minutes really won't change anything. It's just that bad.

[@AHB9191]

4starKT Just look at the West. You know the conference is packed when OKC, the Spurs, the Clippers, the Pelicans and the Suns are battling for the last playoff spots. Then there's Houston, Golden State and Memphis who are destroying teams. Plus the Trail Blazers and the Mavs who are equally dangerous. Plus the Timberwolves who have gotten younger and in a couple years could be a middle to late rank in the playoff slot and could easily catch teams sleeping. It doesn't look good at all for the Lakers. They need some big free agents. Not big name players but at least players that could get the job done and need tough young guys. Otherwise they are going absolutely no where.

[@sunmo1284]

Haha you idiot. The Lakers WANT to lose! Of course you want to win but when the front office and people running the Lakers Organization want to lose for a draft pick, winning with everyone against you, ya celebrate

[@AHB9191]

***** They lost 7 games before that one. How are they playing better?

[@AHB9191]

Sun Mo They are not going to get the #1 draft pick. Look at the 76ers and the Knicks. If your going to tank then just tank. And no don't celebrate winning 1 game in overtime over a terrible team without 2 of there big men and best players. I repeat they are 14-41. From that video it looks like they don't even care about winning and losing. And Jim Buss isn't tanking he's just that horrible as a owner.
