I'm pretty sure Kobe wasn't bald in 2001.........
Or wearing 24...
Show 1 reply...In the words of Tupac, "The game stores the card year but doesn't display it anywhere because some of the photos are inaccurate then." So this is meant to be 2001 Kobe but 2k was to lazy to find a decent Frobe pic other than the FA one.
Show 1 reply...no HOF badges!!!!!!!
when the BLACK fucking mamba turns out to be the troll diamond of the set...
Bro if you have multiple hof badges on all the other pink diamonds and diamonds then update Pink Diamond Kobe to have 15 and then give this one at least 8! This is outrageos 2k THIS IS KOBE BEAN BRYANT not some other crown ! Do not disrespect him!
If PD Jordan has 12 HOF badges, why would kobe have 15?
Show 2 replies...Because he is the highest reward card in the game, behind of Barkley, in terms of grinding
So I just did a comparison with the amethyst and aside from the upgraded scoring (outside and inside) and the couple of points added to defense, it's the same card. So my suggestion is to don't buy this card until it's under 100k I would say around 80 to 90k and that's only because it's still Kobe at the end of the day..... 2k should be ashame of themselves
With a speed shoe shit even without that any j.r that just came out better then this card. Straight disrespect of Kobe. I get they didn't want it to be as good as the PD but damn 2k. Y'all some hoe's...
This is such a crap Kobe!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Showing disrespect to the Mamba! He's on the COVER for gosh sakes - at least give him Hall of Fame badges!
This is completely disrespectful, think about it for a second, EVERY SINGLE CARD IN THAT COLLECTION HAS AT LEAST 1 HoF BADGE, EXCEPT KOBE, BOI I CAN BET YO' ASS THAT TRISTAN THOMPSON DOESN'T A SINGLE HoF BADGE MORE THAN KOBE, GET YO' UGLY LYING ASS OUTTA HERE!
I feel so disappointed with Kobe's attribute& badges! 2k are truly Kobe haters trash Company!!!
this is a JOKE, no HOF badges, a little better than his amethyst, i don't have words for this, it's a shame that 2k fans can't enjoy a good card from one of the best players in the history of this sport, because getting the PD is IMPOSSIBLE
NO HOF BADGES!!
this kobe trash
This Kobe is "Trash" because they don't want it to be better or close to the PD. It makes sense.
Show 3 replies...but 98 bird better than his collection award
Collecting 12 cards to get Bird isn't equivalent to collecting 2500 cards to PD Kobe. Those people who grinded for him deserve him and deserve for him to be the best version of Kobe.
What blatant disrespect by 2K. This guy should be the best diamond in the set with tons of HOF badges, yet he's the worst and has no HOF badges. Epic fail 2K.
What an absolute legend! This man is one of the greatest players ever to play this amazing game. He should be loved by everyone and is so inspiring to anyone who watches him play his incredible offense and destroy opponents with flashy dunks and clutch shots. One of the Greatest of All-time
I couldnt say it better than this. 100% true
Show 2 replies...Before people complain about the ratings, look at the jersey number. It's not meant to be an unstoppable #8 Kobe. It's #24, where he was still amazing but not quite as unstoppable.
Now all my friends that dick rise lebron are just gonna say that's why diamond lbj better than diamond kobe smh
Show 11 replies...lmao I know the feeling. Kobe the goat ppl tryna say Lebron is (all my friends) are dumb af
LeBron better bruh, Kobe not top 5 tbh
L
Cuz kobe's a beat
BEAST lol
CMON MAN!?!?!?!? NOT ONE HOF BADGE?!?!?!?!!!??!? THIS IS RIDICULOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Really 2k? You give him a diamond card, but it's not even a worth it one? OK.
Pretty trash considering this is gonna be the only realistically available prime Kobe. 0 HOF badges smh 2K
2k disrespected kobe
Better shoting than the amethyst and defending wow
No HOF badges
My fav player of all time. Idgaf, even when I'm 40 I'm gonna still yell "KOBE!!!" everytime I throw a piece of paper into the bin
Shit card
Ur dumb
Show 11 replies...Stfu
He Has better stats then the player u like
Who do i like
Idk probably curry
My fav player is charles barkley so ...
Gay
sorry how does kobes dick taste like?
?? It tastes like Charles Barkley airballing free throws !!!!!!!!
Lmfao all i remember is 3 straight airballs vs utah
He was a rookie dumbass
85 overall defense, May i remind you?, second on most all-nba defensive teams of all time, TIED WITH KEVIN GARNETT, ONLY TIM DUNCAN HAS MORE SELECTIONS THAN HIM!
Fuckin stupid!!!
i understand the shit with not wanting to piss off people who grinded for PD Kobe so honestly i'd be okay with this cards stats but why TF not give him a handful of hall of fame badges.. smh. what an epic fuck up. This is some of the lamest shit 2k did this year
he is not a ball hog
-he scored 81 points in a game.
-he is one of the best scoring SG in the game.
-He actually is a good passer
-he season stats include...25ppg 4.7 ast per game
players: (prediction) "man, this 95 kobe will be more desirable than the 99 pd. will have hof badges, too. gg 2k."
2k devs: "ha, got eem!"
No wonder this version of kobe suck he can't focus on his game cause he's trying to figure out why the hell he is in 2001 with jersey number 24 #FreeNumber8
I don't think this card is worth 300k but if it was 150k I say that's fine if you play this game with the joystick to shoot you need to change that right away he's made to shoot with the button lucky I can score with both and I'm still learning with the button but I also did pull this card in a box so I never lost money so in my upon I would spend nothing more than 150k but if you pull him I would keep him he's a sick dunker and mid shooter and he's three go in too but his three are inconsistent 9/10
Amethyst Curry has better 3 point shots then any diamond I seen so far except for Ray Allen High Scorers there paying mad MTs and the 3s are seriously low for that much Curry is a 97 Open Three 97 Contested Three & 97 Off Dribble while Diamond Kobe is only at 90 kinda crazy to think what Steph Currys Diamond card would be if his Amesthyst is insanely good or as they say BROKEN....

HES A DYNAMIC DUO WITH PG13 CUZ HES RECRUITING GEORGE TO COME TO L.A. IT ALL MAKES SENSE NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
First Kevin Johnson then Shawn Marion then Steve francis NOW KOBE BRYANT!!!!
Do you guys at 2K have a brain!
THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO SPENT OVER $2500 ON YOUR FUCKING GAME TO GET ONE FUCKING PLAYER AND YOU DO THIS THIS TO THEM.
We were fine with amethyst kobe being affordable and the PD being hard to get
You Basically just spit in the faces of those who worked to get Pink Diamond Kobe Bryant.
I personally dont have PD kobe or even attemped to spent money on this game
But still someone has to stand up for those who GRINDED AND PUT MONEY ON YOUR STUPID GAME
We were fine with amethyst kobe being affordable and the PD being hard to get
Totally agree. They did the same with Drexler. Two locked in collection rewards then released the best version which shit on both of them and could be auctioned. I don't have PD Kobe but I sure as shit have put a ton of money on this game this year. This was a dick move.
This card is nowhere near as good as the pink diamond Kobe. I honestly think that this was a perfectly good idea being that this doesn't make PD Kobe irrelevant
Finally a diamond kobe!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What a garbage upgrade. It's pretty much the amethyst with +7-8 outside scoring stats. ZERO fucks given about defense and postgame. At this point i'd rather keep the amy and wait next year to get a realistic kobe that doesn't require 2700 cards collected
what a sick nickname doesn't matter what that 19 yr old girl said its just kobe???
lmao, it says '01 kobe, but the picture got a picture of kobe with 24 as his jersey number
In the playoffs Kobe averaged:
25.6 pts 5.1 rebs 4.7 ast 1.4 stl 0.7 blks 2.9 tov 45% fg% 33% 3pt%
82% ft% 39.3 mins
5x champion 2x finals MVP
One of the best players of our time
I've got a solution. Boost PD Kobe's stats and give him more HOF badges, then they can upgrade this card to what it should be and everyone's happy.
Hmm, where is our proper Kobe and Jordan Diamonds? 98 overall Diamond Jordan and Kobe still must be to come.
Honestly I'd be a better dev at making these cards. Id make pd Kobe almost have 99 everything and actually give him hall of fame badges and Id make this Kobe a 97 with 95 everything. Like seriously 2k you do not know how to make cards Period. Fire everyone you greedy asses.
16 Year Old Girl, Pass To Kobe.
12 Year Old Girl, Pass To Karl Malone
$135, Pass to Child Support
New Contract, Pass To Durant
*don't
Rape allegations, pass to Kobe
Lmao this comment da real mvp
Thank you this made my day LMAO
200 million pass to bitchass curry
Make this #1
HOOOOOOO MY GAHD
The face all the Lakers fans are making when Kobe is the worst diamond in the update
We're still gushing over the 98 Shaq and Magic, so we'll overlook this pure blasphemy for now. :)
Yeah but Kobe was such a god, this feels like disrepect
It definitely is, especially since he retired last year, load of bull. imo he's the 3rd GOAT, he doesn't deserve this. :/
wtf
What, I had him at 3 some time ago.
Should of been a 98 tbh
he cant because he already has a pink diamond
But He can have a 95 and a pink diamond? Think before you speak young lad
maybe you should think before you speak, and why you calling me young lad you named yourself like a 12 year old
im sorry, instead I'll call you the genius who knows the 2k overall rule book. Fucking dumb ass show me in the rules where it says a player can not have a 99 and a 98... If you show me that I'll apologize
realistically you shouldn't have any cards better than the top collector reward but considering how much you need for Barkley its understandable and Jordan is the G.O.A.T so again understandable but you don't want to allow anyone to just buy basically the pink diamond kobe making people mad that have PD Kobe
Than they should just deal with it and continue with their lives. It's just a game and people get too triggered. I don't need 99 Kobe or a 98 Kobe I was just saying it should have been a 98. 95 is pure disrespect to the mamba.
Everyone seems to forget about Pink Diamond Dwayne Wade and his Diamond card that is better than the Pink Diamond.
But Pink Diamond Wade is a card you earned for basically doing nothing. If I was remotely interested in getting it, I could have just checked Ronnie's Twitter at the time he said it would be dropped, and had a team of silvers and golds with this Wade. Why should it be better than a card that people have to invest time or money for? Similarly, people have to invest a ton of time and money into the game for that Pink Diamond Kobe. Meanwhile, this dude gets a better card through sheer dumb luck. Kobe does deserve a 97+ but that IS the Pink Diamond Kobe. People last year were criticizing 2k for making that diamond Kareem better than the Rewards Kareem. This Kobe card shows that they're trying to fix that, and people are still complaining. You guys are never satisfied.
[Deleted]
Are you talking about the Kobe or Wade?
PD Wade shouldn't be better than diamond Wade because it takes no effort to get it, while diamond Wade required time/money.
PD Kobe should be better than diamond Kobe, because it required 2500 cards to get. Do you realize how difficult that is? Why should people be able to get a better card through sheer dumb luck?
EXACTLY ^
THANK YOU. Finally someone gets it!
It would make no sense to release good Kobe as nobody would need to collect cards.
Wade was basically free if you had quick hands, why would he be better than Diamond Wade who actually takes something to get
Isn't*
Diamond Kobe Bryant should be rated 98, period.
You want a 98+ Kobe? THAT IS THE PD KOBE!
No it's not.
What is the PD Kobe, if it isn't a 98+ Kobe then? Putting out a card that is as good as the PD card is spitting in the face of everyone that has played their butts off to get the PD Kobe.
It's a stupid system anyway and needs to go. What about the people that want to spend MT on him? You can't tell me that isn't earning it...
This is the best system that 2K's has since the games moved to PS4 and Xbox 1. Sure, it needs improving but it's loads better than the previous games. MT farming is actually easy, and earning cards is as well. With just a bit of strategy you could probably get to 2500 cards by August if you started the game today. My friend has Grant Hill just from playing the game naturally. Sure, you have to put off RTTP and PD Duncan in favor of Gauntlet, Challenges and Dom, but it's worth it.
Some people want to be able to play other games too you know. The only people that attain PD Kobe are VC cheaters. I'd love to play a fair game with everyone with no VC involved but that won't happen. Greedy 2gay
I know but this guy must work for 2k he knows everything...
if he had a 98 it would probably be better than the pink diamond which would make people mad that they collected soo many cards to get him and now people can just buy a better one for less
But people would be happy who couldn't get the 99 and could afford the 98
it doesn't work like that if you do shit like that it causes people to hate the game losing there precious money that 2K seems to be really hungry for
You must work at 2k you know everything about them... That must be why when people work hard for collection rewards they make better versions after all that work everyone did.
Its not that hard to know that 2k is greedy. Anyone who plays the gane will understand that.
you cant have a 99 and a 98 of the same player
Oh sorry didn't know you knew the 2k overall rules...
In reality he deserves a 99, but no Locker code pls. So yeah, should be a 98, positive about him being a 95 is he's gonna be cheaper.
He is gonna become another PD get him while you can his Potential is 99 every PD had a 99 potential, Jordan had 99 potential and look he's a PD
Karl Malone, Clyde Drexler, Larry Bird and Magic Johnson all had 99 potential as well.
Yep
They don't have PDs.
But 2k might make them PD's but when has 2k ever done something good
Exactly.
Disrespect*
It is disrespect for sure. But the Lakers have 3 diamonds in this collection so we can't really complain.
I wish it was a picture of him doing his Kobe Fist
Or pulling his jersey after hitting the game winner against the Nash suns
Yeah
