ffuck shit stern gonna rig wiggins for la fuck hthis let the shit teams get achance

20013 draft is so bad its nto fair

Vire · Apr 13, 2013

Damn.. that's tough seeing Kobe like that.

Injuries are really the worst part of the game. This really is the worst Laker season ever.

Dr. Buss dying, Kobe with a potential achilles tear, possibly missing the Playoffs with an "all star" squad.

kobe's done.

please post konex.
are you on suicide watch?

These tears are usually the result of mechanical stress and intratendinous degeneration or pathology. The tendon can be affected by recurrent microtrauma with a low propensity to heal or degenerative changes within the tendon.

So if he's overcompensating having nearly destroyed his knee's/leg earlier in the game, it makes sense that there was a good chance something was going to give. Particularly given how much he's going air-born/planting/cutting etc.

Dwight is more important now than ever. They will need to find a way to get some talent around him. Hopefully through a pau trade. Then just prey Kobe can get healthy in the back end of the season and make 1 more run.

His probably going to go down as the most hated coach in laker history. The coach that ended kobe's career. How do you recover from that one?

The Nash injury making Kobe play heavy minutes... My god, D'Antoni and Nash planned the whole thing!

ThisWreckage · Apr 13, 2013

I hate Kobe Bryant, but I don't like to see anyone have a career ending injury. If it's truly an achilles tear he may not come back at all. Even if he does, he won't be a superstar.

Best of luck to him. He has no clue what he's in for and with his age.

I can't take this night. I'm going to go get drunk.

MiamiWesker · Apr 13, 2013

I just heard the news. That sucks, you never want to see anything like that. Especially Kobe. I hope he comes back, don't go out like that.

He can still coach.

He honestly thinks that a Gasol trade would command great talent in return. The Lakers fanbase truly is shellshocked.

They'd have to retroactively ban half of Lakers-age for shit like that.

Kobe will probably retire and come back in two years just to have another shot.

He'll retire for two years and then start a new career in the Chinese basketball league.

Damn, as much as I hate on Kobe and talk shit to my Laker fan friends, it's all just fun banter. Got nothing but respect for his talent and dedication. I don't want to see him go out like this. And knowing Kobe, he won't retire until he at least passes Jordan on the all-time scoring list.

Dwight at this point is irrelevant . We can miss the playoffs with him we can do it without him. I was preparing myself forthis moment. The rebuild just starts a year early. Wiggins to LA

Forceatowulf · Apr 13, 2013

I am sincerely on the brink of tears right now. Those quotes are killing me.

This might be the last night I ever see this guy play competitively. I've been watching him play ball since he was drafted man... this is fucked.

You do realize this entire thing is in regards to the guy bitching about other players for not risking playing through injuries? With the amount of minutes he has been playing, and his age, and him coming out of high school with all the injuries he got this season? he had it coming thought he was invincible
