  • Here is Kobe Bryant dropping 45 points at the Drew League back in 2011. James Harden was the 2nd leading scorer with 44. Players included DeMar DeRozan, Derrick Williams, Ed Davis, Casper Ware, Gerard Anderson, and many others. The Black Mamba hit the game winner in the final seconds. It was just announced that Kobe Bryant, Tim Duncan, and Kevin Garnett will be inducted in the Naismith Basketball Hall Of Fame this year.

    As i read these comments, when i watched him throw his hands up, I remember all the times as a kid watching him live on tv. I used to always be in awe, he left us speechless, thrilled, flamboyant. The difference between him and MJ is his love for the game. Its something that exuded out of him, he made US love it. His aura was different, Like Jordans except he gave it back to the people. This is why to me he's the goat, besides the work ethic, the inspiration he gave, the time he took. It was the way he recognized it and gave it back to us. Love you Kobe, always have always will. Just like everyone else here commenting, your presence is now a crater in our lives. But your spirit shall never die. My son will watch u, my grandkids will hear about you. Your name will live forever. Black Mamba!

When the fans rushed the court, that was on some Ali shit. Not many of his status would have played in this game. He had 5 rings legend future hall of famer. His competitiveness was always there and i know going against the young harden and derozen he had to let them know he could still ball. But it was even bigger than that. The way he talked and shook hands during the game was incredible. None of the other players did that. Just like when he played at the rucker. He was always accessible unlike some other players no need to mention names lol RIP to the MAMBA the LEGEND and arguably the greatest basketball player to ever step on the court whether the NBA or the hood court down the street.
