Kobe Guarantees Playoffs When Lakers were sitting at 25-29

[AirTupac]

2013 All-Star break, Lakers are 25-29 and 3.5 games out of a playoff spot. Kobe proceeds to guarantee making the playoffs and the Lakers finish the season on a 20-8 run to finish 45-37 and clinch the 7th seed in a tiebreaker with the 8th seed

SI: Can you get this done? And is it hard that after winning five championships you're battling to make the playoffs?

Bryant: It's not a question of if we make the playoffs. We will.




Doesn't need to "activate anything" :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

[kennethgriffen]

how many called shots has kobe delivered on


promising shaq he'd get 50+ ( getting 60 in the process )


promising the playoffs ( ripping his achilles in half to make it happen )


saying he'd win without shaq ( won 2 with some of the worst teammates ever )






and then theres lebrons promises

Two completely different men, two completely different make ups.

Winner vs. Fraud.

Really that simple.

[NBASTATMAN]

Funny thing is the Lakers got into the playoffs AFTER KOBE GOT HURT.. YOU CANNOT MAKE THIS SHIT UP :banana: :applause:

Meanwhile Harden had Parsons as his second best player and Linsanity as his third best scoring option and they got to the playoffs that year.. WEST WAS WEAK...

That's why even Kobe stans don't dispute, Harden > Kobe.

[ArbitraryWater]

easy to make that call with the most bizarre and fixed 20+ game stretch in sports history

[AirTupac]

Oh yeah "the fix is in" for an old Kobe to bring an old LA team to playoffs but they dont fix it for LEGOAT :lol :lol :lol

[bigkingsfan]

They were better off if he shut down.

[Dray n Klay]

Lol easy to do when you have Dwight Howard, Steve Nash, Gasol.


Instead of f*cking Lonzo Ball and Ingram

That would be like LeBron guaranteeing the 2011 Heat would make the playoffs, big deal :roll: :roll:

Why did Gasol get swept in the first round that year as the first option with Dwight/Nash as 2nd/3rd options?

That's that boys, wheels isn't coming back to this thread

Give me Kuz and Ingram and their easy 20+ points over those old sobs any day.


Cheer up big guy... Playoff mode has been activated. It just takes time to boot up.

[AirTupac]

Ingram is averaging 28 points on 63% since Allstar break. Pretty sure thats more than Artest-Nash averaged combined with elite D :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll:

Yeah thats why Kobe at one point took over PG duties and had the best output for assists in his entire career. Had his career high in assists that month. He was literally doing everything it took to get to playoffs.

Lol imagine Ingram and Kuzma were out for 30 and 20 games. I think Lakers would be dead last in the West.

[Dray n Klay]

Lol, imagine LeBron joined the warriors this year and guaranteed that they’d make the playoffs, would any of you give a f*ck? :roll:




The real question is why couldn’t Kobe win a championship with that stacked team

[AirTupac]

STATS!!! STATS!!! You do realize defensive stats that you pull cant account for the switching thats done in the NBA? Ingram is always put on the other teams best player. And are you going on record saying LeBrons a better defender than Ingram? Please say it outright, I need to hear this from a retards mouth :oldlol:
