^ I think it was in the actual post game presser where he said "I was like 'Kobe passed me the ball. I better make this, because Kobe never passes the ball.'"

kobe was just being a good teammate, risking the game by passing to ron ron

we all know that if he would have kept the ball to himself he would have hit a 3 anyways

not srs

This still baffles me.

 

[grandtheftbike]

that was the game where he tied it with a 3 in zbos face to go to OT?

 

[senorroboto2k5]

Yep. And earlier he had stolen the ball from Roy, got fouled, flung it up and it went in. Didn't count. But to sink that + those two clutch threes inhuman.

Aside from 2008, 2009 and 2010; 2003 was probably my favorite Kobe year not because he went crazy with scoring binges but because of his Jordan PEs. Laker colored Air Jordan 8's.

Ny fav kobe performance.
3 triples to claw back into it and that breathtaking display of footwork and body control on that last triple........
"Doesnt make a difference....unreal."
"R u kidding me".

Kobe says he's not playing in Sacramento Friday, but not ruling out vs. Toronto on Sunday.

Supposedly a low version is coming out as well...

I'm not liking the midsole, but the model overall is promising.

 

[laker4lifeman]

Batman boots.

 

[sea manup]

are those the lows in the background 

 

[alfa]

Wow... Those 9's definitely make an impression. My first thoughts were "I'm not buying those." I like the carbon fiber shank/cup aesthetic and the stitching detail, though. Vaguely remind me of some of those high UA basketball kicks.

 

[VinMillerHearn58]

The 9s are better than I expected them to be. Not going to like the price tag though

 

[pmatic]

I'm curious to know when the started the process of this model. Since signature shoes usually take like 18 months, was it coincidence that these are highs? Or was there a change in April?

I know Kobe was going to revert to a mid soon but I'm sure his injury resulted to making it a high. Dude, these have a Marty McFly feeling to them!

 

[vrai1]

not according to Eric Avar:

His injury did not play a role in the shoe at all. We started working on this 2 – 2 1/2 yrs ago.
