Comments Sort by
Bryant spent some of his childhood in Italy, and he began learning Italian at age six in grade school. To this day, the shooting guard still speaks the language fluently, and he has used it to communicate with some of his teammates on the court. There was more of an interest in soccer than basketball after school in Italy among his peers, so Bryant began to pick up the language rather quickly in an effort to play with the others. #randomfacts
Need some help customising the lineup.

Lol. Kobe is a bum though. It seemed like he hyped that bum up.
Lazy 2k using same pict from last 2k19. They should show him some respect by changing up the images.

wow we finally got a new Kobe card, been a WHILE. wonder when or if he'll get an opal though. this one is probably gonna go over 1 mil, they even gave him the curry slide and Magic BtB now! kobe base on quick is cash too
it’s been a WHILE since you haven’t shut up, do us all a favour and shut up pls
Show 20 replies...do us a favor and stop trolling because it's not funny
I laughed, it was funny!
awwww, awe u gonna cwy?
lol you realize you're not even funny right
sowwy wyan, you have to go study for yow test wight now get off the site and study wyan!
you know what, that's not a bad idea Ara Sagharian or however you spell your name. interesting Grammarly didn't say that's spelled wrong or anything
racist squeaker
???
it’s racist you made fun of my name
I just dunno how to spell it and was surprised grammarly accepted it lol
exactly
and how does that have anything to do with race lol
because you think my name is spelled weird...
Rlly good card
gon be wayyyy to overpriced
can we please get frobe because everytime frobe releases, he's amazing
Bro why would Kobe play point if he isn't that good of a passer, also have you ever seen Kobe play PF??? Not me.
Agree. They should not have these out of position cards. Wait until Giannis PG is released and you will find him in a lot of unlimited lineups...
Show 4 replies...I’m honestly waiting for that I loved that card in 2k20 but I agree it’ll probably be overused but for decent reasoning
A large PG just has advantages but no real disadvantages. I also had a hard time in limited with GO Lillard against Amy Noah. Usually, Matchups GO vs Amy are not hard to play but Noah has just incredible strength. The only chance was to switch Matchups and put my Emerald PF Green against Noah.
My dream PG would probably be Luka as of now since not only is he tall but also can do everything. I’m running out of position Joakim Noah as my 1 rn cause I don’t play MT as much as lots of people on here

Any suggestions? I'm new to the game, searching new good players and ways to make more MTs
Looks like I gotta say it again. R.I.P. to Kobe and F.U.C.K.U to the haters.
My Kobe card is better. Don’t believe me? Check it out yourself. https://2kmtcentral.com/cards/550708
@Flysenberg Fuck kobe dude i'm glad he died, kobe slander will never stop no matter what you try to do.
Smh all y'all are glorifying a fuckin rapist. Shame on all of you
its like 2kmtc purposely gets these names wrong, no matter how close it is to the actual nick name.
Its BLACK MAMBA NOT THE MAMBA couldnt yall have just put back mamba??
anyway the card is goated as much as kobe is, good luck guarding this nigga
Walking living legend man i feel like KOBE! KOBE!
[Deleted]
whatever it was, i know it was bad
Why? He was a homophobic rapist, is that the kind of person you want to share the earth with? I for one am glad he decided to go on his little helicopter trip. (By the way I downvoted you so your not at 24 anymore ;)
like ur dad
someones mad they dont have top comment LOL
i didnt even say anything
he wasnt talking to you lmao
kinda pathetic ngl mb
ur wrong he wasn't, ur just a hater
Nope, your just 9 Carter Albert Grahem
9? lmao, nowhere close to my name anyway
I’m not fucking slow
seems like u are
Ok carter
Albert
you’re*
you’re*
Everyone forgets he’s a rapist, like stop hating on Malone Kobe’s the same
[Deleted]
Honestly I wouldn’t be surprised if Kobe got a girl pregnant and paid money for her to keep it under the radat
Thats exactly what he did. He raped her then payed her a shit ton of money not to testify
So you got unbanned for good?
Noting in life is guarenteed
True, but good to have the original account back
yE
what the hell
Am I saying anything incorrect? Or are you just made about the downvotes LOL
no, ur insulting kobe mfer
I am, good thing he can’t hear me from hell
Good thing you sound like a bitch
Downvoted.
what a terrible person you must be. To be happy someone died is to be happy that life itself will end.
what a big man
Oh shit, is that fire?
Oh shit, were falling
Oh shit, is that a mountain
Oh shit, there goes my daugter
Oh shit, is that hell?
