I bet they even leave a game early better than most fans.

I was there and it was beautiful. Seeing the Best Fans in Baseball hurrying back out to their St. Louis County hamlets in the top of the ninth is something you can never experience enough.

OH BUT THEY PLAY FOR THE LOVE OF THE GAME AND THE FUNDAMENT- [gunshot]

The NBA is, and will forever be a better product than college basketball and I will fight any of you jabronis who disagrees with me.

“Perhaps giving Dwight Howard a machete was an unfair advantage.”

Warriors stunned after Rockets sign and start 5 alien theme park employees in wild playoff upset.

“Why did we even play the series after Golden State’s team plane went down in a fiery crash?”

the best player in the league not winning the title is nothing new. Lebron was clearly the best in the league from 08-2014, yet he only won two titles in that stretch. Just like MJ was clearly the best in 89 and 90 but didn’t win title those years too.

There it is, guys. We have the bold championship truther.

And then the rest of us will mention that he is a rapist.

This is a painfully stupid comment. You’re implying that Kobe, with his constant iso attacks and lack of passing and sacrificing team success for individual numbers/accolades, is a selfless player? Whereas Lebron, who is universally regarded as one of the most unselfish superstars and consummate teammate and who…

Except that Kobe wasn’t the best player on his own team for at least three of those titles, maybe four.

Oh god, is this really still a thing? It’s 2016. We have every number imaginable at our fingertips. Stop using convenient team stats to weigh the value of players.

“We’re trading away Charles Barkley for Robert Horry because Charles has no rings”. “Trent Dilfer > Dan Marino”. etc... what a joke.

His wikipedia article is even better:

Kobe is to basketball what Hank Aaron is to baseball. Aaron was very good for a very long time and racked up a lot of numbers most notably home runs. Aaron was almost never considered the best player in any year he played, but was always high on the list. Of course Aaron is a geat human being and Kobe is an asshole…

That's why Robert Horry is second best player of all time right?

Damn, lots of misinformed people in this thread. Dude was a very good player but he isn’t top 20 in either playoff or career PER. Dude barely cracks the top-200 for true shooting percentage and is a casual 53rd in win shares per 48 minutes.

Everything you say is true... and yet... and yet.

The only thing with greater longevity than Kobe is the hate for Kobe
