Kobe will have never even played a playoff game past age 33???

[Akrazotile]

Maybe I'm missing someone but this seems almost unprecedented for the supposed all time greats.

Are there any other basketball all-timers with such poor longevity? Not sure what age Iverson became such a cancer no contenders wanted him, I feel like it was prob around 33.

Wade is 33 now, but I have to assume he'll get back to the playoffs at least once before his new contract is up.

Father time is a bitch

[Nash]

played 11 seasons without shaq, missed 4 playoffs.

[imdaman99]

He came straight out of HS so it's not like this is his 11th season.

And rent free

[TheMarkMadsen]

played 11 seasons without shaq, missed 4 playoffs.

Only if you count 2013, 2014 & 2015

And in 2013 he dragged that team into the playoffs, got injured and then they were slaughtered without him..

The other 2 seasons Kobe played a combined 40 some games.

In other words, you're a moron

Kobe stans and their excuses. They literally have excuses for everything.

But but but he was a bench player his first years!!

But but but the WCF was the real finals!!

But he took highly contested shots which is why his fg% is lower! (why the **** doesnt he pass to open teammates?)

I know, damn, nikka can't catch a break even when sitting out injured. He's still expected to carry his team to the playoffs from the bench.

He had season-ending injuries, you moron. Lakers made the Playoffs in 2013 thanks to him carrying that team until injury, playing 45-48 minutes a night because Lakers had no one to bring off the bench due to injuries...

2013-14 breaks knee 6 games into his season...
2014-15 season-ending shoulder injury before all-star break

So, even if the teams made the Playoffs, it doesn't matter because he wouldn't be able to play due to season-ending injury. Kobe never missed the Playoffs playing a full season.

Kobe has basically missed the playoffs or lost in the first round every season he didnt have a dominant big to carry him.

Fact.

Better than making the playoffs in the LEast, where ya boy teams up with all the talent and beats on the bottom feeding Teams like Boston trying to fake dominance.

That's like beating up the kids at school with down syndrome when there's way more ni99as wit the shits out there who will catch a fair fade.

No one gives a shit. Agenda threads that are this obvious can **** off.
