Heroes comes and go,but legends are forever.
Yeah, and Kobe is one of those legends. Kobe very much deserves this.
Show 37 replies...Yeah, He was the man when he was alive. (Other than MJ, Lebron and Steph). The next generation for our sport. Thank You Kobe for your greatness in basketball. We will miss you.
Kobe def deserves a 99 ovr card, but it kind of seems like it should be for the game he scored 20 more points than this one. Then this one could be a 98 or 97. Still, it was amazing he went off like that in his last game. Most people didn't think he still had it in him after the last couple years he had.
Its a 99 because he broke the record for most points scored in a final regular season game.
It was an amazing final game. Just saying if I made the game I would've made the 81 pt Kobe rated higher cuz he was a better player then and played a better game. I would've still rated this card very high though. I've used them both, and I like the 81 pt Kobe a lot better abyway though. It's all just a matter of opinion I guess, on how my team should rate their cards and what type of game deserves what kind of rating. It was a highly significant game and maybe more impressive he could do that at 36 with all he's been through the last few years than scoring 81 in 06 I will say that.
Good point
yeah thanks man. Fuckin 2K banned me and I miss my 81 pt Kobe. Saving up for another one now, after I buy some cheaper good value damonds
2K TOOK AWAY UR CARD?! THATS SOME BS
Bro not only did they take my card, they banned my entire PS4 for life on all 2K games past and future. I had over 30 diamond cards and Diamond Reward MJ. They won't even say why. They just said I broke the EULA which I've read 10 times I don't think I did, but it's so open to interpretation.
Holy crap dude 2k blows
Yeah, I had this stamina glitch happening where my players would go from 90's stamina to 40's in a matter of seconds. I shouldn't have sent 2K this video showing it: https://youtu.be/-yPteKbnOIU. but it was hard to play with this glitch every game. They realized I spent barely any $ on packs and so thefy banned me. I didn't buy MT either, I had a good method I used to make MT. Man I miss my team.
Bro you didn't have diamond reward Michael Jordan bc no one has him yet
Yes, I did have him and I wasn't even the first one. A lot of people have him. Shake and Bake does too. I could've had him 2 months ago if u wasn't buying 30 othet diamond players, all with Diamond shoes and contracts on em too
2K stay trippin fam. U know dat.
hell yeah I do, punk bitches banned me for nothing after I finally just got 2700 for diamond MJ and over 30 diamond players. They won't even say what I did, they just put everything on the dev team and say they can't speak for them. So I asked em, so what nobody on the dev team know how to type? And u don't have any way to get in contact with them. 2K is bitches, they expect us to spend all this money and the ban us without a donation. I'm pretty sure it's for having more than one my team account, but they don't say u can't do that in the Eula.
I mean ban us without an explanation not donation, auto correct must've changed it.
Yeah true, but my opinion stays. Your opinion is still true though. Plus Kobe did play AMAZINGLY well in his last game.
No I feel u, wasn't trying to take nothing away from what u said. I watched the whole game and it was more prime time and meaningful at what he could still do at this age and after all the injuries. Just saying he was a better player and played a better game when he scored 81 in 06. But I do think they could've made his speed and acceleration higher, 73 is Center speed. He's not fast like he was, but he's not that slow, and didn't look that slow that night.
well I'm just guessing they didn't want him to be too OP. Just my guess
Lmao more likes than the card

IT'S TRUE
why would you delete it then?
Well clearly some people couldn't handle the comment, so might as well end THEIR PAIN AND SUFFERING.
heroes dont rape....
Show 52 replies...The -81 likes just shows that kobe is a legend
lol butthurt for one of two reasons
1. a warriors bandwagon who cant stand that Kobe is the greatest
2. a Lebron/cavs/miami/cavsagain dickrider who cant stand that Kobe has three diamonds while Lebron only got 2...sorry mate but Kobe is better, time to at least respect that (Y)
Kobe dickrider? I posted this to thread out the dick riders blowing him after his 50 shot game bruh lmao... I can see someones living in the past tho
idk how u came to kobe dickrider? I was saying the exact opposite - lebron or Curry dickrider...sorry that u werent impressed by a 60 pt performance from the GOAT...looks like u earned urself the most dislikes ever tho (Y) good on ya
Kobe ain't better than MJ fam if you think he's the GOAT then there's an obvious dick riding here
How so? Its an opinion. So I can just say if you think MJ is GOAT then ur obvs dickriding? How does that make sense. Theres no single GOAT. theres loads of players from different teams and generations man. Kobe, MJ, Wilt, Magic and co are all up there (Y)
How is there no single GOAT? In baseball there might not be but it's pretty obvious in basketball. All the NBA analysts agree so
Not really true...There's heaps of people who believe its Wilt...also just as many who believe its Magic or Kareem or Kobe or a number of different options. I think youve been watching too much First Take. Respect other peoples opinions.
I respect it, but people can be wrong. For example what did Kobe do better than MJ? Obviosuly you can't really compare current day to the past so that kind of stuff can never be compared, but IMO maybe when OR years after LeBron retires he might be considered the best ever. I think he's the second best ever, just becuz since he's still fairly young I'm looking into the future. I just say Kobe ain't the GOAT because I think MJ was better all-around. When I am comparing best of all time, I don't care to look at championships because we are talking about the player not the team. That doesn't really apply to Kobe vs. MJ, but idk.
First of all you dumb ass, he didn't rape anybody. The judge said he wasn't guilty. Look at your facts you stupid bitch. He is a hero and a legend.
And first of all insufficient evidence doesnt mean hes not still a rapist. That doesnt mean hes not guilty of something.
sperm on panties and her claims. Guilty in civil courts. Its arguable, just like OJ.
Is OJ a hero and a legend? He was not guilty and found guilty in civil court just like kobe.. Seems like someone just doesnt wanna face the facts that their idol might be a rapist. Is Ben Roethlisberger a rapist?
proof?
sperm on panties and her claims. Guilty in civil courts. Its arguable, just like OJ.
exactly, "her claims" she was also dismissed because her story was never the same each time she told it
shut the fuck up you dumbass
Is OJ a hero and a legend? He was not guilty and found guilty in civil court just like kobe.. Seems like someone just doesnt wanna face the facts that their idol might be a rapist. Is Ben Roethlisberger a rapist?
Dude it's alright some people just are in denial and dislike cuz they are mad and shit, we know and they know well that it's true.
he didnt rape anybody smh
He's not a hero dude lookup some of the shit he did.
Show 30 replies...
dude we are not here to talk about his past.
HE SCORED 60 POINTS IN HIS LAST GAME.
RESPECT THE MAN
What if Hitler scored 60 points in his last game?
Lmfao i will never respect him. Give any all time great 50 shots in their last game and i bet they can do 70.
Not to take away from what he did in basketball that's incredible, but he's not a hero by any means. People can downvote all they want but it's true
That's right lol, he's not a hero. He is a legend
So that gets 21 upvotes even tho it's exactly what I said just re-worded...
Not really, you were saying he's not a hero which I did repeat, but I did say he was a legend...
Yeah and I said not to take away from what he did in basketball cuz it's incredible
Booooo!!!!
um
Um
go back to india "sabataj"
Lol wtf go back to being random with the 9096. India??? What the Fuck! Are u trying to look up Insults!

Dude. Face it, you just cant take it that Kobe is a legend and he is better then you. And how was it rigged?
[Deleted]
wow what a comeback
I think it probably was rigged and that the jazz the lakers and the nba were in on it but kobes defnitely top 10 player ever and the 81 point game was NOT rigged
How is it rigged????
idk
fucking dumbest comment ive ever read.
That kid is an idiot
He said idk
i know hahahahha :p These type of comments are always made by
1. Lebron/cleveland/miami/cleveland(again) dickriders or
2. Golden State Dickriders who want the attention back :p
- no offense meant to the real fans of both (Y)
fucking shut the hell up kobe is one of the greatest players of all time go back to thinking the fucking james nunnally is the best player of all time
i will
no you wont
You can't rig 60 points. It's not like the Jazz laid back on defense the Jazz played defense and Kobe made some contested shots.he shot 50 shots of course he gonna make 60.
still rigged tho
You are literally the dumbest person I have ever encountered. Can you explain why it was rigged? If you don't know, you need to either shut up or rewatch the game and find parts that you think it was "planned". Stop dickriding on LeBron and/or the Warriors.
im a Kobe FAN so STFU
Oh really? Prove it, you little shit. You're just a Kobe hater and will try to deny every fact that's thrown at you and mail it back with a stupid comment like yours. I'm pretty sure you made that account just so you can say "Fuck You!" to everything and get a load of "Fuck You!" back. You just love the hate, don't you? Cocksucker.
The jazz needed that game to have a chance in the playoffs, so you stupid af
they were eliminated already cause the rockets won and clinched the 8th spot 25 minutes before the game started
kys
wtf? it is true.
I don't know. The Jazz only have 1 more loss than the Rockets so you'd have to say if the Jazz won by a mile they wouls have made it
No, when the Rockets won, they secured an 8th spot cause even if the Jazz won, Rockets would have won the tiebreaker.
What is the tie breaking criteria?
(-) Tie breaker not needed (better overall winning percentage)
(1) Division leader wins tie from team not leading a division
(2) Head-to-head won-lost percentage
(3) Division won-lost percentage
(4) Conference won-lost percentage
(5) W-L Percentage vs. Playoff teams, own conference
(6) W-L Percentage vs. Playoff teams, other conference
(7) Net Points, all games
nigga why you hating on kobe so much? He's the 2nd best SG ever. you must be a butthurt lebron fan or something
Thank you Kobe. To those who insult him, fuck you. Go into the NBA and do what he did.
Fuck you bitch fuck you fuck your dad fuck your whole family you all belong in a fucking grave you pack of homosexual fucks your the reason I fucking hate this place, you are nearly as fucked up as fun slut but she is still the biggest cunt going around
I can’t believe people said this, obviously no one wants to go into the NBA and be hated and miss more shots than any player ever.
Show 2 replies...And be higher than MJ on the all time scoring board
While playing 5 more seasons and taking plenty more shots and still barely beating him
@DaMoose01 actually 99.9 percent of the people who insulted him are not going to the nba. lol
ok I will
Show 6 replies...How? Are you gonna go to seven NBA finals and win five of them? Are you gonna win two finals MVPs and one regular season MVP? Are you gonna be a four time all star game MVP? Are you gonna make 11 All-NBA First Teams and 9 All-NBA defensive first teams? The list goes on. Sorry, but as good as you may be, nobody is Kobe Bryant. He's an individual that has been an icon to many and a father figure to many of the league's younger players. I'll bite my tongue when you force me into it with your own success but nobody is Kobe.
Leave him he's jealous of Kobe
Sorry dude. Gotta defend him. The Mamba deserves it.
Nah, It's okay, I've had worst responses like: Klay Thompson is better than Kobe LMFAO
Alright, whoever said that is nuts. Maybe at the moment, because it's Klay's prime and Kobe's last year (I know he's retired), but not on an all-time scale.
No one is insulting him, were just saying he isn't a "hero." Maybe a NBA "hero" but not a "hero"...

His final game was the type of game you tell your grandkids lol.
The Michael Jordan of our generation. Respect Kobe
I was at the game, it was amazing to witness greatness, no doubt greatest game ever
Show 54 replies...Woah woah woah did you just say greatest game ever? Do you mean in respect or like points if points No way Wilt Chamberlain with 100
Kobe's 81 was more impressive
True. because Wilt scored 100 points in an era where they all sucked a lot. At least Kobe did it in the modern era.
Y'all are all ignorant as fuck
what? how? Wilt's game was good but Kobe's was way better
Wilt also grabbed 25 rebounds in his game. He also went 28-32 at the foul line despite being a notoriously bad free throw shooter. He also did it without a 3 point line. Oh and btw if you think Wilt was playing against a bunch of 6'4" white guys then that only further shows your ignorance
yea, and you're the same guy that thinks Wall is better than Westbrook. thats got to be the funniest joke ever
Yeah, never said Wall was better than Westbrook. I said the gap isn't as big as people think. They're very similar players
dude, 2015 season stats for westbrook were amazing. if u calculate it all out and stuff its actually better than the triple double season that oscar robertson had, and everyone overrates the season where robertson had a triple double average. wall never did that and he never will. was wall ever in the MVP race? no. Westbrook would've won MVP in 2015 season if they did better. he was easily the best player that season. and dont't give me the excuse wall had an injured team and stuff cuz westbrook had one of the best players in the league as a teammate injured. his team was so bad that perry jones and those scrubs started and played like 30 minuets per game. so i think you're the only one that thinks the gap isn't that big.
Fuck 2015 nigga this is 2016. Is the gap pretty sizable? Yeah. I just said that they're very similar players stylistically and their numbers aren't very far apart either apart from rebounding. Stat comparison. PPG: Westbrook +3.6. RPG: Westbrook +2.9. APG: Westbrook +0.2. SPG: Westbrook +0.1. BPG: Wall +0.5. TOPG: Wall -.2 (Wall averages .2 less). FG%: Westbrook +3.0%. 2P%: Westbrook +5.5%. 3P%: Wall +5.5%. Yes Westbrook is obviously better than Wall as of now. Just the gap isn't as incredibly large as people make it out to be. A lot of people disrespect Wall when talking about the elite point guards. But Wall is 2 years younger and developing very quickly and is very similar stylistically to Westbrook. His jump shot is already a lot better than Russell's and his passing and athleticism are on Westbrook's level. There are a few things Westbrook has that Wall doesn't though. Westbrook is a far better finisher and has that killer mentality that Wall lacks, which is part of why he gets so many boards
dude u think stats r like everything. there are some other advanced stats that westbrook is way better at. and thers a reason why westbrook has a killer mentality and you just cant change that. wall never will have that. thats why i would take kobe over lebron or curry in the clutch, because of kobe's killer mentality. you obviously dont know anything about basketball because you think stats are everything that define a player and how good they are. Westbrook is gonna kill it this season while wall is still gonna be crying in his house cuz he didnt make it to the playoffs.
I don't think they're everything - they're just the easiest way to quantify what a player does out on the floor. Westbrook is definitely better in the advanced stats. Don't fuck with me on advanced stats, I did my entire MYP Project (year-long project in sophomore year that was my final Lit grade) on NBA Analytics and their usefulness. I found out that they were effective but my theory is that you need to use both analytics and scouting. One can get swayed by a flashy player and think he's the best player you've seen but then analytics can expose some of his weaknesses. I would take Kobe over LeBron or Curry in the clutch because neither of them are particularly good at clutch shots. Wizards will make the playoffs if everyone is healthy. They made some nice additions in Mahinmi, Thornton, and Burke. If they stay pretty healthy then they can be in the middle of the pack in the East. They'll probably end up around the same spots in their conferences
ya, in the middle of the conference. that means his team will never be good enough to win a championship and wall is way worse than westbrook. everyone says he is so stop arguing
So just because everyone says he is, it means he is? Everyone said the Sun and the stars revolved around the Earth, did that make it true?
you could say that for everything. i never said that what everyone said was true. but this one is. plus no one believes that the sun revolves around the earth now. you could say that since d'angelo made a mistake on snap chat then no one should do snap chat anymore.
three point line?? he probably cant even shoot from there. and it does matter that he played in a trash era, and thats why he got 25 rebounds. its not that the players were white and 6'4, the pace of the game was different and it was less physical and other things. dude just admit it, kobe's 81 was better and everyone says so. and Wilt's team was blowing them out the whole game and his teammates just fouled the other team and stuff to keep giving the ball to him. kobe did 81 when they were actually losing and it wasnt a huge blowout.
1. Wilt could shoot. He couldn't just shoot from the 3 point line, he could drain hook shots from there (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h0IC8Nwkd1w)
2. So, I mean, I guess Bill Russell, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Willis Reed, Nate Thurmond, Wayne Embry, Wes Unseld, Elvin Hayes, Walt Bellamy, Jerry Lucas, Bob Pettit, Clyde Lovellette, Red Kerr, Walter Dukes, and Gus Johnson were all just big piles of garbage am I right?
3. "I would talk to Wilt about all the players pounding on him. Sometimes, he said he didn't notice it--he was so strong. But I also believe that there were two sets of rules. By that, I mean because Wilt was so strong, the officials let the man guarding him get away with more--almost trying to equalize the game. I also believe that Wilt just took it because he didn't want to get thrown out, and because ithad always been like that with him. But I'd watch it and I'd get mad. It takes me a while to get my temper going, but when it does--look out. I'd see what the other players were doing to Wilt and what the officials were allowing, and I'd get more upset than if it were happening to me. So I jumped in there. It wasn't that Wilt couldn't defend himself. If he ever got really hot, he'd kill people, so he let things pass. But I didn't have to worry about that. I was strong for my size, but I was not about to do anything like the kind of damage would."
--Al Attles, Tall Tales (by Terry Pluto) p. 242
4. Everyone says so because people remember watching Kobe's 81 point game. Also, Kobe is far more loved than Wilt. Wilt is often remembered as this villain - a "Goliath" - and he didn't deserve it one bit. That tarnished Wilt's reputation a lot, the fact that he is always so misunderstood. People perceived him as the villain who had it all but he was really just a gentle giant off the court. People tend to have a large recency bias in the NBA - specifically for when they first started to watch it. So people who grew up watching Kobe will almost always have a bias towards him because they saw him play.
5. Wilt was the reason his team was blowing them out. Pointless argument.
6. Something that's often overlooked here: the Knicks actually started fouling Wilt's teammates in the fourth quarter to try and prevent him from getting to 100. Obviously, they failed
you're stupid man. you basically proved my point. Wilt's team was winning by that much because everyone was horrible back then. (OK, Wilt was good but not that good). And people hat kobe so much, they just all liked him at the end of his career because he wasn't good anymore. Everyone says that Kobe was the villain. and i never said that wilt can't shoot, i know that he could shoot from like mid range but i said he can't shoot from three. u also said that he can't shoot from three so u just proved my point there. it wouldn't have mattered if there was a three point because he wouldn't have shot from there. and yes, all the players u mentioned wouldn't be that good or would not have been that good in like the 1990s or something. they would have all gotten destroyed by shaq or hakeem. so i dont know what kind of point u are trying to make.
So Kareem wouldn't have been that good in the 90s despite the fact that he dominated the 80s, when he was out of his prime?
you obviously are stupid. there were players like magic johnson, clyde drexler, artis gilmore, michael jordan, dominique wilkins, charles barkley, and a lot of other players. and i was just taking 1990s for example and why are you suddenly bringing kareem into this. i cant believe you think the 80s was a weak era.
1. God damn you just walk in this argument thinking your opinion is automatically right of course you're gonna think everyone who opposes you is stupid. Don't try to shoot down an argument before you fucking hear it.
2. I brought Kareem into this because you said "all of the guys you listed wouldn't have been good in the 90's" and Kareem was one of them.
3. Never said the 80's were a weak era, although the early 80s were a little weak - not too much defense was played
your the only person on this that i said was stupid becuz you are saying dumb things. not everything that I say is an opinion. and your assuming that everything that i said was an opinion. smh. of course your gonna think that your correct all the time. and i already told you that i was taking 90s for an example. you were just being narrow minded like always.
1. Wilt's team wasn't winning by that much (22 points isn't an enormous blowout), but they won by that much because he was dominating so much. His team was playing some shit defense but he was scoring so much that it didn't even matter.
2. Do the players in point #2 seem like they were shit?
3. Exactly, Kobe was a villain in his prime but everybody just loves him now. Wilt was a villain (for no reason, at least Kobe was hated because he was a major asshole) and remains a villain to a lot of people. There are so many misconceptions about Wilt and his life it's unbelievable.
4. When I said "He couldn't just shoot from the 3 point line, he could drain hook shots from there", what I meant was that NOT ONLY could he shoot 3s, but he could also drain hook shots from that range. Wilt could truly do everything, he even played point guard for the Globetrotters (he played with them for a year after college).
5. Actually do your research on those guys. They were all either incredibly athletic, incredibly skilled, incredibly tough, or a combination of the three. They would've been just fine in the 90s. Pick out one of the players on that list and explain to me why he wouldn't have been good in the 90s. Greatness translates to any era.
6. Wilt would've destroyed Shaq or Hakeem. He was too fast and skilled for Shaq and he was too big and strong for Hakeem
and 22 is a huge blowout. but since everyone in the era was trash why didnt wilt win by more if he was dominating. because he just isnt as good as other players like david robinson, shaq, hakeem, other players too. and how do you know if wilt wasnt an asshole. you probably dont even know what team wilt played for if you didnt look it up. i bet you dont even know what team drafted kobe and how lakers got him. thats how little you know about basketball.
1. 22 is not a huge blowout. Teams have come back from a 22 point deficit in less than half a quarter. It's quite a sizable margin, but still.
2. I can't stress this enough: THEY WERE NOT TRASH
3. They weren't winning by more because his teammates were playing some trash defense (the Knicks starting guards and a bench player all scored 30+ points). However, Wilt held his matchup to just 7 point on 3-7 shooting.
4. Wilt wasn't an asshole. Every single thing I've read about him has his teammates praising how good of a guy he was, how generous and kind he was, and how badly the public misunderstood him.
5. Nigga I know more about Wilt than you ever will. Researching NBA history is one of my hobbies (yeah I know I'm a fucking nerd), if you actually cared to research NBA history you would know that the guys I listed above were not at all trash.
6. Kobe was drafted by the Charlotte Hornets 13th overall in the 1996 Draft, which is considered one of the greatest draft classes of all time, also including players like Allen Iverson, Stephon Marbury, Shareef Abdur-Rahim, Peja Stojakovic, Marcus Camby, and many more. He was then dealt to the Lakers in a trade involving defensive stud P.J. Brown in what turned out to be one of the more lopsided deals in NBA history
yea, i research nba too. i never said the guys you listed were trash. i said they aren't good or wouldn't be good against people in the 80s or 90s. ive said that many times already and your brain still cant understand it. and where did P.J. Brown come from. obviously you dont know about that trade either because lakers traded vlade divac for kobe in that draft. i bet you dont know who the coach was for hornets at that time. you probably have to search it up.
Nah, no idea who the Hornets coach was at a time when they were trash. But thanks for giving me the prompt to search it up, always eager to learn something new about NBA history. So, I looked it up, and it was Dave Cowens. But can you tell me who was the NBA's leading scorer of the 1980s without searching it up? I was humble, don't be a bitch. If you don't know then say you don't know
you know, im done with this. you could think whatever you want so im not gonna respond to anymore. but i have no idea who the leader scorer was, but i would guess michael jordan. i dont know if you meant the whole 1980s or just the best scorer sometime in that time or era.
The player who scored the most points in the 1980s decade
oh, then i have to go with larry bird because he was a scoring machine and i dont think magic johnson and those players would score as much. but tell me who scored the most?
Ah, I was mistaken. Thank you for correcting me. I research the 60s through 80s a lot more than the 90s. 90s research is pretty easily attainable - I like finding stuff about old eras because it's cool to find some old clip of an unknown legend doing something incredible that only a couple hundred other people have watched. I was thinking PJ Brown because he played for both the Lakers and the Hornets in the early 90s- early 2000s
you know what, i should just stop responding to you. you really dont know anything. you said his teammates were trash, so you just proved my point that everyone or most people in his era was trash. and people become the villain because they are good. and what do you mean kobe was a major asshole. and yea, wilt played point for the globetrotters, that means everyone sucked enough that wilt, a center played point for them. not saying that wilt couldnt handle the ball or pass, just saying that a huge center like him shouldnt be playing point. and i never said that wilt would be trash in the 90s, wilt would still average like 17 ppg and 13 rebounds, but he just wouldnt average like 50ppg and 20 rebounds or something. and you cant just say, "oh he was too skilled for him to guard." you just cant say that. wilt didnt have skills of jordan or kobe in the post and stuff. and it just shows that you should do research on this because shaq was actually fast when he was in the magic. he was strong and big. so shaq would have dominated in the post with strength. and if your talking about height big, then manute bol is the best player we ever seen. and the way you described wilt sounds exactly like hakeem. except hakeem had waaayyy better post moves and shooting skills (where did you even get your evidence for "wilt could shoot and do post hook shots from the three point line" you cant say that by looking at videos and assuming that it was as long as the three point line. hakeem was also fast and big too. and by the way, hakeem is only 1 inch shorter and shaq is the same height as wilt. so you proved nothing. wilt would have actually gotten destroyed by both of them. maybe he wouldnt have but he for sure wouldnt have destroyed shaq or hakeem.
1. Nigga his teammates were trash because he played on a trash team. The Warriors were a bit short of the depth that the 8 Hall of Famer Celtics dynasty had. He had some good players alongside him like Paul Arizin and Al Attles, but no one truly great.
2. Kobe was a major asshole who cheated on his wife. Repeatedly. Wilt slept with a lot of women but at least he did it without having already made a commitment to another woman.
3. No nigga, it means that Wilt was fucking skilled enough to be the Globetrotters' primary ball handler. Now the Globetrotters are a basketball circus, if they were a legit team they would have run him at center, but they figured he could handle the ball well enough to be a guard so why the hell not.
4. Wilt would average a bit more than 17 and 13. Try about 30 and 18.
5. If you don't think Wilt had some skills in the post then you know nothing about him.
6. Yeah Shaq was fast but Wilt was a track star at Kansas, winning national titles in the 400, 800, high jump, triple jump, broad jump, and shot put. Could Shaq have done that.
7. Wilt was stronger than Shaq. He used to work out with Arnold Schwarzenegger in the offseason and Arnold testified that Wilt was the strongest man - excluding pro bodybuilders and lifters - that he had ever met. Wilt was taller (Wilt was 7'1"-7'2" barefoot, Shaq was 7'0"-7'1" in shoes), stronger, more athletic, smarter, tougher, and more skilled. Also, Hakeem being 7'0" is confirmed bullshit. He was actually 6'10" at the most.
8. Well, let's see, Wilt was the most freakish athlete the NBA has ever seen, he was the strongest man the NBA has ever seen, he had incredible skill for a man of his size and physicality, and he had incredble basketball IQ
haha all this is a funny joke man. u r stupid and how would u know that hakeem is 6"10.
Aka you don't have a response.And he was 6'10" because Hakeem was always listed at either 7'0" or 6'11" because, in the 80s, the NBA started to take player measurements in basketball shoes - which means that MJ and Kobe are actually around 6'4"-6'5", Dwight Howard is actually 6'9", Shaq is actually 6'11"-7'0", and Charles Barkley was actually a 6'4" power forward. I'm an Auburn fan and I met Chuck in person when my dad got club seats at an Auburn game - he's definitely not 6'6". There are a few examples of players who say they're shorter than they really are - KD, Bill Walton (who towered over Hakeem), Kevin Garnett - but they are few and far in between
Wilt also played 7 more minutes than Kobe in that game ( Wilt played the whole 48, Kobe played 41 ) and Kobe's 8 was to pull the Lakers back, the Raptors were leading for a while. Wilt's 100 happened in an easy blow out. More points per game were scored league wide in Wilt's era too, compared to the 06 season, the 61 season averaged 21 more points per game league wide, this was because of more rushed shots by both teams, more rebounds and super fast pace. Kobe shot 60% on 48 shots that night, Wilt shot a still good 57% but keep in mind most of his shots were probably tip ins. Wilt scored 59% of his team points, Kobe score 66% of his team points.
I was there to. It was insane. Greatest game of AT. The atmosphere made it feel like he scored 100. That just shows how electrifying he was.
greatest game ever? He took 50 shots...

Low speed and no dunk, not worth it. TBT no fade, no thanks. MVP low 3.
Really?
The speed and dunk is accurate. I would thank 2k for their accuracy if i were you
Show 4 replies...Ok, look at Lillard's moment diamond. 0 rebounds and he gets a 70 defensive rebound. is that accurate? no. Either way it could've been a tribute card like I said before, like Madden did Charles Woodson
I will miss watching Kobe for the rest of my life, I'm so sad that it's over,but that was one hell of a show he put on last night and I'm glad he could end his career on such an epic performance, the game he played would have been great for a normal player in their prime and he did it at the end of a 20 year carreer
They should have made a card in honour to his entire career

THANK YOU 2K! but his speed is going to be tough to play with.
should've given him an 80 just because
Show 4 replies...At least a 75 so it's somewhat bearable. Well they have speed shoes for a reason I guess
81 points = 98
60 points = 99???
2k realized they fucked up theyre "lets suck jordans dick by making him the only 99" when they released that joke of a 99 Lebron card...so they got so much hate as can be seen by comments on LBJs card, that they were forced to release a 99 Kobe as well - I think the 99 is fair here as well but I also think the 81 pt game Kobe should be the best card in the game (Y)

Thank you Kobe for you years in the NBA. The man who made me love basketball, you will never leave our hearts.

Does anyone think LeBron will get a treatment like this?
Lebron never had that killer instinct mentality like Kobe did. Kobe would go out every game and would be wiling to die for a win. Lebron doesn't. The only time lebron has that killer mentality is when he is in the playoffs. And if you had to play in a 2 vs 2 with your life on the line who would be your teammate. Kobe, Lebron, Magic, or bird?

Ew no Dunk= No Kobe
He can dunk... his dunk tendencies will be 0 tho...
Show 3 replies...i doubt 0. he was trying to dunk that game but he just couldnt get up there. thats why he chose to lay it in instead of botching the posession
2K really messed up with this; should been a career tribute card like Peyton Manning On MUT. They made it a moments card from last night; like WTF ?! Give the man what he deserves; the TBT card with SAME speed; better defense and post ratings and that's it. But becouse of the speed and dunking on this card; TBT Kobe is still better. I was so hyped to sell my Kobe to get this one but seein the stats now; heeel too the naaah nah

Kobe wasn't slamming yesterday like Frobe. His athleticism is based off his dynamic card, not off of a younger Kobe
Does anybody else wonder why Kobe has 1 mvp not like 7 that he deserved
Honestly, its because they expected Kobe to put up massive number every year. The MVP is actually just the player who played best compared to expectations.
Example: When KD won its because he went above and beyond his expectations.
Also Nobody liked Kobe. Its hard to win the MVP when your the NBA's scapegoat
yeah. too much of the mvp is based on media relations since like 90% of the mvp voters are journalists.
No joke. I think the last guy to win the MVP and deserve it 100% was when Lebron won his first one. ( not a lebron fan just being honest)
so true. the biggest example is in 2011. lebron outclassed rose in EVERY stat. except assists and steals i think. but who won mvp? we both know the answer to that.
Like honestly, I think they should change the name of the award. Because The most valuable player in the NBA right now is probably Chris Paul. I know it sounds weird but here me out. The clips lost Blake and have had injuries left and right. So Paul has picked up the slack and pulled his team to the 4th seed in the western conference that is amazing. I believe he is the most "valuable” player. Best player? No not even close! But the most valuable for sure
when you put it like that, it does make sense. i'm pretty sure that if you look at the advanced stats, cp3 will be among the league leaders in wins contributed or something
Now He Has 3 Diamonds and this card is now the 3rd 99 ovr diamond in the game.... yeeeeeeeeee. I expected a moments card but surprisingly, I didnt expect a 99 ovr kobe. I have no problem w/ it I really love the card but I'm just saying.... *COUGH* 3 DIAMONDS *CAAAAAAUGH*

i can see your shadowbanned, makes sense. i cant imagine anyone liking such a weirdo
This is weird to imagine when you realize its the last card of this legend. Btw the ratings proves that 2k decides. 81 points :98 61 points :99.
The speed and acceleration of this card makes his shoot useless because every shot will be contested.
Hey 2k... be a man for once and put this in a challenge so ppl can earn it if they want it.... or give us a ton of codes
Everybody at the bottom of this comment section on this card are complete dumbasses. This card is about respect for Kobe, not just about his game.
@DirkMamba WE GOT HIM MAN!!!!
Wow what a game!!! I can't believe this legend is actually turning 30. Here's to many more years of playing like this. I remember when you were just a little kid and you came up with the nickname Black Mamba. I loved it from the start, even though I still only know a few steps lol. Love you Koby. Happy 30th!!
Kobe should be head coach of his hometown team the 76ers next year. i SWEAR he'll get them at least 20 wins aha.
wanted a 99 kobe but wtf is this, they took away his dunking..
81 pts < 60 pts
Screw you 2k
wow kobe gets a 99 but, didnt they say michael was the only 99?
I know right. 2k also gave lebron a 99 card too.

Laughed when Shaq asked him to score 50... Scored 60. All i can say is what a legend. Best of my generation

What the fuck with all this dislikes on this page? Can people just stop disliking for no reason; If you don't like what a person said, just ignore it.
