I noticed something. Every time Kobe won (even after 5) they keep moving the goal post with another challenge. Win, repeat, 3 peat, Win without Shaq, Repeat without Shaq, tie Boston, etc. it was ridiculous! I’m telling y’all, they didn’t want that man to win!!! He was the best
Kobe (RIP) understood this. He knew that winning v that team who humiliated them in Game 6 two years earlier, was vital and he was right when he said that city wanted this title more, yes, they won the previous year v Orlando, but it wasn't the same. Beating the Celtics in the finals is a different beast.
It's so difficult to accept the fact that so many of these great people are no longer with us. RIP Jerry Buss RIP Stuart Scott RIP David Stern RIP Kobe Bryant RIP Gianna Bryant RIP Bill Russell
My favorite part might be how they boo'd him. He's notoriously hated by Laker fans for getting so many chips on us. He's smiling out of superiority lol
