Yea. For the regular posters, I'm guessing obscure type articles like this, they're getting a lot of their news from here. I know I do.

you probably would have still thought Kobe was close to Lebron up until last year too!
if you came here for your news you could have saved 5 years of lazy thinking.

And also just how legendary of a player Chris Paul is...unless he listened to AJ.

Can't believe that one wasn't posted yet. Riley is such a gangster! That has to be a sports first.

I've seen those theories(granted, I haven't watched any of Kobe's recent games) on another message board since he's been shooting a lot of free throws lately. I imagine it's the same reason Lebron shoots more free throws in the playoffs compared to the regular season.

We could marvel at his consistency. You probably don't remember a bad game from James this season and that's because he was pretty much a human metronome of dominance this season. At his worst, he was Blake Griffin. No, seriously. Take James' worst 10 games of the season by Game Score (a PER-like metric developed by John Hollinger to evaluate single-game performances) and you'll find that he averaged 19.3 points, 8.7 rebounds and 5.2 assists in those duds. Griffin this season? 18.2 points, 8.4 rebounds and 3.7 assists.
In other words, statistically on his worst days, James was an All-Star big man. Maybe even a little bit better.
We could also mention that we've never witnessed 26.9 points, 8.1 rebounds and 7.2 assists on 56.2 percent shooting in NBA history. Not Jordan. Not Oscar. Not Bird. Not Magic.
But it's the 56.2 percent shooting that stands out. Let's try to wrap our heads around that. In order to catch James in field goal percentage, Durant -- he of an amazing 50.6 shooting percentage of his own -- would have to make his next 176 shots without missing once. And that's just to catch James. What about Kobe? Making 300 straight wouldn't even do it for Kobe; he'd need 49 more.

my opinions of Kobe are pretty well known... but my heart breaks for him after last night.
that's fucking BRUTAL.
3 things automatically come to mind:
1- the minutes he's been playing had to have an impact. i'm not a ligament expert, but i'd guess its pretty worn down on a mid 30's guy with that many miles on him.
2- his low/mid top sneakers have any impact?
3- can the Lakers win without him?
his facebook post is classic Kobe, tho. tell everyone how tough you are!

Sucks seeing a career ending like that but maybe not as bad as a in a game going 10-37 performance for 31 points!
