I'm already seeing the "Kobe comes back before Rose" jokes. I'm gonna go cry in the car.

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]

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.

 

[Herpes Reasons]

kobe's done.

please post konex.
are you on suicide watch?

 

[bjb]

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.

D'antoni ends kobe's career he truly hated the lakers all along

 

[The Insane Dufresne]

Rumor is torn Achilles for Kobe. Wow

Holy shit.... hope that's not tr......

RT @Lakers: An emotional Kobe: "I made a move I've made a million times, and (the Achilles) just popped."

Oh shit.

I hope he doesn't go out like this......

 

[reilo]

dude are you drunk?

Is he? I can't tell.

 

[CB3]

Do the lakers keep pau and Dwight and limp to an 8th seed or do they let Dwight walk and tank in an amazing draft class?

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.

 

[brianjones]

dude are you drunk?

i can tell he is because hes misspelling words

a classic tell tale sign

 

[PhoenixDark]

I'm a Kobe hater but damn, never want to wish that on anyone or see it. Dude is a warrior, sad to see this happen.

D'antoni ends kobe's career he truly hated the lakers all along

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]

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.

You're in shock.

"Kobe on the next step: "MRI, surgery and recovery. That's it."

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

The Nash injury.... My god, D'Antoni and Nash planned the whole thing!

Robert Sarver planned the whole thing with the nash trade. Genius

Next year

Wait are you talking about next year? How in the world would the Lakers get the 8th seed next year if Kobe's not playing?

@mcten: Pau Gasol has tears in his eyes as he talks about Kobe: "He doesn't deserve it"

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

 

[MiamiWesker]

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.

 

[GremlinFool]

If his Achilles is torn than his career is likely over lolol

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

They still have two pretty good big men.

 

[friskykillface]

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

 

[Matrix]

Most likely a better coach than Mchale.

No, he should just retire.

Most likely a better coach than Mchale.

I certainly hope so!

 

[Iamwolfthing]

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

magic style. Return and retire on his terms.

[George Claw M.D.]

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.

[Ninja Scooter]

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]

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

 

[NomarTyme]

This is not surprising.... I want to see D12 reaction!
