i think he got it from an /sp/ thread from a few days ago.

[KG215]

by then Kobe was one of the 3 most popular players in the nba

How in the hell could you possibly know this?

I'm starting to feel bad for you. It's got to be a strange existence to go through life obsessed over a grown man who has no clue who you are, and probably doesn't give a f**k about you.

by then Kobe was already an NBA All-Star and one of the 3 most popular players in the nba

dwight howard as a little punk 13 year old kid


now kobe is still one of the 3 most popular players and still a 1st team all nba player

while prime 9 year nba veteren dwight howard is already past his prime and washed up


really makes you think

"Dwight" is what, 5 foot 2, maybe 5 foot 3 in that pic?



GTFOH that isn't Dwight. No way in hell Dwight would be that f*cking short at age 13 when guys like Wilt and Shaq were already 6-8+ by that age.

[Cleverness]

Whose creepy ghost face is that emerging between Dwight and Kobe?...

[Shade8780]

Even though it isn't Dwight, a guy who's 6'9" could be that height at 13. Just look at Anthony Davis, he didn't start growing till the end of High School. But yeah, that isn't Dwight anyway.

Kobe probably was amongst the most popular at the time though. At 19 he was one of the best bench players in the NBA and playing for the Lakers helped, he was the youngest All-Star in NBA history, he was runner-up for 6th man of the year and already showing reason to believe the hype that was on his shoulders. He put up 15.4 ppg which was the highest of any non-starter in the season. He played more minutes when the Lakers "played small", which would feature Kobe playing small forward alongside Eddie Jones/Nick Van Exel who he would usually back up , and he had several games when he saved the starters.

Dude was an an athletic marvel. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8NXY1g8XVwc In terms of just strictly popularity he was probably right there with Jordan, Penny and Grant Hill. Even had his own video game by then and was already being hyped as the potential "next Jordan."

Wasn't dwight the guy that grew like 6'' in one summer? It's possible it's dwight IMO. but yeah, if he denied it then i guess not.
