Dave T Kobe literally has the most misses of all time he’s had 12/35 nights before

[@allen62]

Dave T 🤣🤣🤣🤣the Harden hate is real they even want Harden to break Kobe miss record

[@kcosgrovelakers]

15Megaplayboy Kobe was 30 years old there, 10 or more years ago! He young there! The lakers hasn’t won a title since 2010! “What’s taking so long since this championship drought is going to continue! The lakers got swept in the first round of the playoffs vs spurs since 2013 with Dwight Howard. Dwight Howard is back with revenge and redemption today. He needed that ring since 2009. Since Dwight said that ‘he be waiting for 10 years to get his first championship ring in his life depending on LeBron James and Anthony Davis.’” He didn’t know them last decade until 2019. That’s how that happen. Listen up, the Lakers needs to level up in the playoffs until they need to stop this championship drought. 10 year drought is over for now. I’m a true Los Angeles Lakers fan as of 2012-13 season. This is going to be my first time ever to watch the playoffs since 2013 looking at Dwight, how embarrassing is that for a Kobe Bryant Achilles’ tendon rupture? Forget the Kobe and Dwight beef, let’s focus on the next step. Number 1: Do not let that drought make you. Do not let that happen to Dwight Howard and Kobe Bryant. I have a dream that the lakers are going to win the finals over Celtics or is it the Milwaukee bucks!? And the bottom line: The Lakers will always be the best California team in the history of this national basketball association league, or you don’t know shit about Kobe and Dwight for y’all kids over 5 and 12 years old. Gtfo! I’m 21 who knows everything what happens in the past of Kobe’s constant injuries in his last years of his basketball career: Ruptured Achilles’ tendon: 2013 vs Warriors. Left knee injury: December 2013 vs grizzlies. And right shoulder injury: January 2015 vs Pelicans. The best I can ever see Kobe play: April 3, 2016 vs jazz. He dropped 60 points when I was 18. #imlegalbitches. When the emotion started in the bacc of my Thicc heart; “Mamba out”. - Kobe Bryant, 04-13-2016. Mamba day. 🙏🏼 for Kobe’s 2020 Naismith memorial basketball hall of fame achievement. He passed Michael Jordan’s points. No. 3 all time in career nba scoring list. Look! 33,643 career nba points! Good at number 3. Let me know in the comments below, LeBron James passed Kobe!? Just recently!? 😩😩😩😫😫🙄🙄😳😳

What’s with KZbin the last couple months with these recommendations? 😂

[@aalluubbaa]

Don't know why this is on my recommended video but can't help but watch it. This video is exactly why Kobe is the best and why he is loved by fans. Kobe shows not only his competitiveness but also his respect to his opponent. He wants it so badly that he didn't want to give the Magic any chance so he still looks so serious. Unlike some of the players today, even if he was guarded by a rookie, he still pays respect to him even tho at the same time wanting to destroy him.

[@FlexSZN23]

Kobe was a true professional. My goodness that poise. Players today don’t conduct themselves like this anymore.. hell not even coaches do. That’s how much this game has changed. I miss that level of professionalism in the game.
