Didn't kawhi finish the game he got hurt in or am I imagining things?

I believe he did, dont remember an announcement saying Kawhi isnt coming back in the game for xyz.

[lamekilla]

lamekilla First you predicted F4 coming to the MCU , now this. I’m not gon doubt you no more

Worst kept secret. Clips still gotta handle business with PHX but y’all know what time it.

Kobe was by far the most hated dude in the league for years.

I don't remember this and I've been watching NBA since the 90's. I can remember Bron always catching hell, but not Kobe. Kobe got MVP chants at the Boston Garden.

Social media took it all to a new, pathetic level.

 

[pmatic]

Jalen saying Maria needs a raise on national tv.

 

[illest35]

Kobe definitely caught some hate thru the years

Since he came in the league

From coming out of high school to "mirroring" Jordan he got a load of it

The boy was BAD at a young age that was another reason

 

[DCAllAfrican]

Yall moved on from this narrative

Dude is funny as hell man

 

[trynafeelmink]

Lmaoo at Kobe not being hated.... he's the origin story of a lot of this NT Laker hate

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

This is the year the Clippers will earn your respect. This is the year lil bro becomes simply 'bro'. This is the year the Clippers make history.

Our way.

 

[picasso swerve]

Nate said Trae is questionable for game 5. “He feels uncomfortable putting pressure on his foot still.” He may be right but Trae looked just fine on the bench cheering yesterday.

 

[illest35]

Booker better not ever say PG is soft ever again

He been raping him everytime he guards him

 

[getback]

Lmaoo at Kobe not being hated.... he's the origin story of a lot of this NT Laker hate

Lmaoo at the exaggeration. Always.

No one said he wasn't hated.

Calling him "the most hated" is questionable.

 

[lawdog1]

I don't remember this and I've been watching NBA since the 90's. I can remember Bron always catching hell, but not Kobe. Kobe got MVP chants at the Boston Garden.

Social media took it all to a new, pathetic level.

I don’t remember it that way either, but my perception probably was impacted by living in LA. He’s always been loved by most here, even right after Eagle.

Streetlights over spotlights

 

[aepps20]

This is the year NT stops being lil bro and becomes bro to sneakertalk. Our way or no way.

You weren't on NT in the mid-2000s if you think Kobe wasn't the most hated on here and basketball discourse.

 

[lawdog1]

You weren't on NT in the mid-2000s if you think Kobe wasn't the most hated on here and basketball discourse.

Yeah, I definitely was and don’t remember it like that. But maybe I was drinking too much back then or something.

 

[aepps20]

Kobe had strong haters in here back then. ZoDog and FRESH used to call him predator 24 if I recall.

 

[lamekilla]

From about ‘04 to ‘07 Kobe was the most hated NBA player. People weren’t letting the Denver thing slide. Nike and his MVP run had a huge part in reinventing his persona

Both of those dudes were weirdos. But now that you mention it, yeah.

 

[D StaXX]

Kobe was most definitely the most hated at one point.
It transitioned from irrational Kobe hate to LeBron.
& then social media blew up and gave everyone a voice so it got louder.
That's why I laugh when the Steph hate convo gets brought up.
Every single super star gets it. Both them dudes untouchable to me doooe.

 

[ccastro02]

I def hated Kobe in high school. Especially that mega team they formed in the 03/04 season.

 

[aepps20]

Both of those dudes were weirdos. But now that you mention it, yeah.

FR3sh and Galen used to beef like crazy over KB24 and Cal and UT football.
