No Excuses Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 Great. Can't wait for the Qatar Airlines and Carl's Jr. patches on jersey's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dont Taze Me Bro Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 Horrible. I know they want to maximize revenue, but I don't like this. It does remind me of the Talladega Nights scene where he sold his windshield to Fig Newtons for sponsorship 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Destino Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 Soccer jerseys have had them for years and much more prominently displayed than a small patch. I'm not bothered by it. I just hope they eventually plan to use a portion of money to expand their D-league well beyond its current form. Where it actually becomes a scouting and development arm of the league and its teams. This does nothing for the league in terms of quality it fan experience if it simply grows the pile split by players and ownership. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RonArtest15 Posted April 15, 2016 Author Share Posted April 15, 2016 I forgot who said it, but it was perfectly put... Kobe's last game was fantastic for both his fans and detractors. 60 points - yay! 50 shots - yuck! Probably the most fitting way for him to ride off in to the sunset. Polarizing. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going Commando Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 (edited) Probably the most fitting way for him to ride off in to the sunset. Polarizing. It's weird, but for such a polarizing player during his career, I don't think Kobe is going to be nearly as polarizing in retirement. I think he's going to be near universally respected. He's got the rings. He's got the attitude--passionate, ultra competitive, with an almost mythic persona. Left every bit of what he had on the curt. He commands respect. Plus he's smart and well spoken and is poised to become an ambassador for the league like Bill Russell. Some great players who were polarizing during their careers, stay polarizing after retirement. Like Iverson and Wilt. I don't think it'll be that way for Kobe. Edited April 15, 2016 by stevemcqueen1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Destino Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 I'm late with this but I watched ESPNs coverage of the Kobe finale and I somehow missed that his 50 field goal attempts were the most ever attempted in an NBA game since they started tracking this stat in 1983. Allen Iverson doesn't have a single game in the top 10 in this category (surprising) but Kobe has six (not surprising). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BornaSkinsFan83 Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 (edited) Wilt has the record. 63 attempts in his 100 pointer. Basketball-reference itself just doesn't go back far enough (hence the "since '83-84" disclaimer).

Going Commando Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 Terry Stotts has become one of the best coaches in the NBA. What he did with CJ McCollum and Portland this season was incredible. Previous two years he took what should have been mid 40 game winners and got them to 50+ wins. Then this year's team should have been a 30 something game winner and he got them to 44 and into the playoffs. I think he is in the same top tier of coaches as Kerr, Stevens, Budenholzer, Carlisle, Thibs, Joerger, and Van Gundy. Portland is a good franchise. Their GM is one of the best drafters in the league and their home support is terrific. They should be much more of a free agency destination than they actually are, but Oregon's state taxes are killer and it is so far flung that the team is pretty anonymous.

I don't know about him being an ambassador for the league like Russell. I could see him doing something over in Europe as far as ownership. Honestly, I'm more interested in what his plans are post-retirement... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Sinister Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 I see him going to Europe as well... probably somewhere in Italy, and just dropping off the map for a few years, then maybe coming back and becoming an analyst or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kosher Ham Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 150 to 1. For every dollar you get back a ton. Sometimes you have to go for it. $100 bucks is not and should not be a lot ( I've bet a lot more than that on a single hand of cards). I never said it was a good bet though.

TradeTheBeal! Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 I don't gamble to pay the rent. I gamble for entertainment value. Getting 150/1 to hate on the Warriors is a very entertaining proposition for me. That can't be so hard to understand. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
