Him going back and forth with Antwaun Jamison in the oracle is underrated

One of the top 5 or so games I have ever witnessed in person.  It was amazing!

Remember watching that one on Kcal 9. Alan massengale days.

Top 5 scoring performances I've seen:

1. Kobe 81 vs Raptors
2. Kobe 62 in 3 vs DAL
3. Kobe 61 in the Garden
4. Kobe 60 on farewell night
5. Kobe 65 vs Blazers

Lmao at Kobe's farewell game being better than what Klay did last night. He just scored 60 in 3 quarters and didn't need 50 damn shots to get it.

The agent cut the Rockets a deal: Williams would talk to the Rockets and the Rockets alone, and the Rockets would offer the agent tips about how to make Sean Williams more persua­sive in a job interview. It actually went pretty well, until they got onto the topic of marijuana. “So you got caught smoking weed your freshman and sophomore years,” said the Rockets interviewer. “What happened your junior year?” Williams just shook his head and said, “They stopped testing me. And if you’re not going to test me, I’m gonna smoke!”

Can't wait to read the rest

I think RFA needs to stay. It gives the team that drafted the player ample time to build around that guy. If it didn't exist, certain teams would rarely get the chance to become much of anything.

The way it's set up now is probably the most fair option.

I always wondered what happened to him after that dumbass Jim Hill replaced him on LTV.

Agreed.

It would be a disadvantage to the small market teams. Every star player they draft would probably go elsewhere after their 3rd/4th year in the league

If that player so happens to want out, the team can at least get something back for him in a sign & trade rather than lose him for nothing.

It gets better!

For instance, in the 2007 draft there had been a player his model really liked: Marc Gasol. Gasol was twenty-two years old, a seven-foot-one center playing in Europe. The scouts had found a photograph of him shirtless. He was pudgy and baby-faced and had these jiggly pecs. The Rockets staff had given Marc Gasol a nickname: Man Boobs. Man Boobs this and Man Boobs that. “That was my first draft in charge and I wasn’t so brave,” said Morey. He allowed the general ridicule of Marc Gasol’s body to drown out his model’s optimism about Gasol’s basketball future, and so instead of arguing with his staff, he watched the Mem­phis Grizzlies take Gasol with the 48th pick of the draft. The odds of getting an All-Star with the 48th pick in the draft were well below one in a hundred. The 48th pick of the draft basically never even yielded a useful NBA bench player, but already Marc Gasol was proving to be a giant exception. (Gasol became a two-time All-Star in 2012 and 2015 and, by Houston’s reckoning, the third-best pick made by the entire NBA over the past decade, after Kevin Durant and Blake Griffin.) The label they’d stuck on him clearly had affected how they valued him: names mattered. “I made a new rule right then,” said Morey. “I banned nicknames.”

Let's see Klay do that in his 20th season.

Kobe is near damn 40 years old. Scored like the last 17 points in a row in 3 minutes to come back and win the game!

And like I said, Kobe in his 20th season, created his own shots to score.

So yes, Old *** Grandpa Kobe scoring 60 on these cats is pretty damn impressive.

Bruh, look who posted that.

You already know what time it is.

I didn't want to use you guys as an example but how would the wolves even have a chance to get good again without RFA

 

[starboy]

Please take the Kobe stanery elsewhere.

He's dead now. No need to clog up the thread with that buffoonery.

You get extra points for being old now? It was a cool way to go out, but give me a break.

And Utah had the wind taken out of their sails earlier in the night when Houston beat San Antonio, which eliminated the Jazz from postseason contention. They had nothing to play for at that point.

And he wasn't really creating all his own shots in that game, 21 of his shots were threes. They were forcing it to him every time down and he was launching from whereever. His usage rate was 62.

I'm really not even trying to hate on him, like I said it was a cool night and an impressive way to go out, but better than what Klay did? Nah.

No need to talk about the worst player in the league during the 15-16 season.

His team is better w/o him and they have moved on. We should too

We were told so many things about Dwight this year and how he would elevate Atlanta to heights that horford couldn't...

Hmm. Not off to the best start are they

this. they've really just struggled the last 5 or so games.

Or maybe...water is finding level.

I didn't want to keep harping on this, but as of right now they're the 2nd best team in the East if you just don't count all the playoff teams.
