Philly Sports

@HoopsReference He still average 11 PPG lol

I remember in January when Sixers fans were using screenshots of McCain's per game averages as evidence that he stinks 😭 god I hate this fanbase sometimes

@PamelaHensley22 This how I knew who she was

Caitlin Clark is the biggest star in the WNBA. Sophie Cunningham is a close second. Nobody else even comes close.

@WhozMEECH People only start saying Kobe top 3 after he passed smh

WOW. COACH K saying Jordan is #1 and it many people are in that room and he mentions Kobe 2nd. Y’all gone have a heart attack when yall realize that some of the greatest basketball minds in the world have Jordan first, then Kobe and even others before they even think about LeBron. But here’s the thing, that’s no shade. LeBron is up there. But this idea that Kobe is no where near the top when so many NBA LEGENDS say Jordan-Kobe is so close and LeBron isn’t always up there with them Jordan/Kobe in their minds. And again, THATS OK. Because there’s some coaches who believe LeBron is #1 or believe Kobe is #3 behind LeBron. But the thing is, None of the great minds think Kobe is fringe top 10. That’s a bleacher report thing that’s not real life basketball 🫡

@AidanLaPorta69 Yea trading away a 11 PPG player who don’t play defense really set us back

No Sixer fan is happy about the return we got for Jared McCain lol……

@stimsimm Yea man trading away a 11 points per game that don’t play defense really set us back for decades lol

I am not exaggerating when I say trading away McCain was a franchise altering decision. Daryl Morey is a bum who is horrible at his job. Happy to see Jared thriving and can’t wait to see Morey be fired.

@HaterReport Yea man trading away 11 points a game with bad defense definitely should’ve been multiple first round picks

Philadelphia 76ers fans are LYING if they tell you Darryl Morey got good value for Jared McCain They literally may have handed OKC another championship

@AllAshworth @DMRussini I’m not a fan of her but she’s just repeating what everybody else saying she’s not making it up lol

My issue w/ the AJ Brown potential move is that it’s ALWAYS @DMRussini pushing it. Is she the only one with access? Does she have a resource that literally no one else has or can confirm with? Why is no one else as adamant? I’m hesitant bc this just feels targeted. #FlyEaglesFly

@joelvmoran Kobe fans weird yall doing more damage to his legacy than his so called haters lol Kobe loved by majority of Basketball fans but yall created this weird narrative that he’s hated by most so yall feel like yall need to defend him every lil moment

Kobe Bryant will never be erased from the history books. As much as modern fans would like to try. He accomplished way too much with a plethora of legendary moments and is way too respected within NBA circles. That 81 point game isn’t even a top 10 achievement of his. TBH.

@CjWilson850 Majority of ex players on TV and podcasts showed Bam love it’s only Kobe meat riders mad

It’s literal NBA coaches and players saying the same thing, but we the haters lol

@playboyswervo Funny thing is only Kobe fans care lol

No one respects what Bam did besides his gf and the Kobe haters

@MsGrenaway_ Wilt had 100 multiple players had 70 with less shots and didn’t play the 4th quarter the Lakers led by 15 with 4:30 left and Kobe scored another 11 lol

Kobe’s legacy is really infinite because his 81pts are the standard of a high scoring game and that was 20 years ago.

@TheTruth8240 the Lakers led by 15 with 4:30 left and Kobe scored another 11

Kobes 81>Bams shameless stat padded 83 points

@SpankHorton the Lakers led by 15 with 4:30 left and Kobe scored another 11

He put them up by 11 pts with 6min left in the 4th the game was competitive

@DreAllDay the Lakers led by 15 with 4:30 left and Kobe scored another 11

Bam scored 83 points last night. And it still doesn’t belong in the same conversation as Kobe’s 81. Here’s why. 1) Numbers without context are meaningless. Process determines value. 2) It IS impressive to score 83 points in a basketball game. You must take shots, and they must go in the basket. HOW you get the points, however, also matters. 3) Bam’s 83 ≠ nor greater than Kobe’s 81. Kobe, as Kobe told the story, got pissed off because his team was losing. He caught fire and was scoring against intentional defense. Kobe’s points were a byproduct of competition. Bam’s points were the objective. 4) Bam / MIA was chasing Kobe for this manufactured Stats Slop. Stats Slop = numbers created for narrative value rather than competitive necessity. 5) When a player scores this many points he is “on fire”, taking— and making— more shots than usual. This applies only to the first half for Bam’s feat. After halftime, he was chasing stats. Also — 6) Dwayne Wade recently stated that there’s no “buzz“ in the City of Miami for the team. He was right. Buzz is created through having 1. A contending team and 2. Box-office level players. Nothing about last night changes the reality that the Heat have neither. Buzz is like being famous. If you have to *argue* that there’s buzz, there’s no buzz. 7) What happened last night reflects what’s happening in society, not just basketball. Storylines and outcomes clearly & intentionally manufactured. Surface-level people paid to make it seem like it matters arguing that it should be respected *just because it happened,* while tell us to not trust our lying eyes and ignoring the process that led to it. We increasingly reward appearances instead of processes. This deposit is rejected. Bottom Line: If you respect the process, you understand the difference. If you only respect the number, you won’t.

@TheWestbrookEra the Lakers led by 15 with 4:30 left and Kobe scored another 11

Raptors were up double digits majority of this game, Kobe had to get 81 out of necessity to win. It’s not the same.

@Lakerschipp the Lakers led by 15 with 4:30 left and Kobe scored another 11

No he would tell you to do it the right way you fucken bitch

@BigBichote the Lakers led by 15 with 4:30 left and Kobe scored another 11

I’m happy for Bam but we not gonna act like that 83 was the same as Kobe 81 😂 don’t do that

@olympicbean the Lakers led by 15 with 4:30 left and Kobe scored another 11

Kobe MADE a record Bam CHASED a record If you don’t understand what that means, you’re apart of the problem

@joelvmoran the Lakers led by 15 with 4:30 left and Kobe scored another 11

Maybe I’m just a salty Kobe fan but I can’t believe Kobe’s record got broken by that disgusting and dishonorable display of stat padding. A truly great record deserved better than that display of basketball that we saw.

@MatejSportinfo the Lakers led by 15 with 4:30 left and Kobe scored another 11

Wait?! Bam scored 83 points?!? On 43 shots and 43 free throws??? Playing 42 minutes in a blowout against the Wizards??? Heat intentionally fouling in the end for extra possessions too??? Ok, we all agree this doesn't really count, right?
