Out of interest, why do you say he is "most maligned "? He is universally loved, probably the most popular NBA star of the last 10years, multiple MVP winner.
read any NBA board and i reckon it's 70-30 people who think he's nothing, still has to prove himself, can't carry a team blah blah blah.
"oh he's never been a finals MVP, 30th best player ever AT BEST"
it's weird as fuck. NBA fans are really different.
Plenty of dumbasses out there! There's a huge cohort of people who think Kobe was the GOAT!
Heck, I've even met some folk who don't like Lebron, go figure...

Lakers fans are the fucking worst
especially those lakers fans who used to be Cavs fans, who used to be Heat fans...

Spurs go home
Which is what happens when you give up 38 in the first
If you want a ridiculous stat line, Valanciunas had his filthy way with us, 23 points not bad, but 23 rebounds is obscene

@voodoo I agree with that pretty much. I don't hate him, but he's a bit of a narcissistic tool. And as M4L says, you're fucking bald LeBron, so get a Shaq before you start doing some kinda weird black dude combover.
I'm going to have to watch Train Wreck again to warm back up to the Muppet.
-
@voodoo there is at least a very valid argument that Kobe is the greatest offensive player of all time when you combine all the ingredients - will to win, ability to get his own shot, the athleticism, the durability (he attempted 50 field goals and 12 FTs in one game!!!), the scoring ability from post up to getting to the rim.

And that's it, Steph can't get going and game over 103 -100.
Bad turnover by Bazemore to close out the game. Good comeback from the Lakers. Warriors rebounded better than I expected. They probably needed just a little bit more offence from Draymond.
Pretty good game.

How is any of that a valid argument over MJ???

His acting is actually good in that movie!
He really is a dick though, "I was seeing 3 rims out there", please. MJ ain't talking like that!
Man, AD is a pussy btw. He should have had 30 rebounds against this side.

I reckon their offensive games aren’t that different even though their roles in the team were slightly different.
And speaking of similarities....

@act-crusader I haven't watched the video, but MJ was so much more efficient than Kobe. We're talking 45% shooting vs 50%. It's a massive gap.
And just imagine if MJ played now with the 3pt shooting and today's pace.
He would average 40pts in today's league.

It's common knowledge that Kobe modeled his game on MJ
