Byron Scott Told By Kobe Of Retirement Plans During Game

“Even though my body is sore, this moment is not coming again”. Fans have chimed in along with a number of other Atlanta sports columnists and radio hosts.

Bryant, however, has not hidden his desire to play for Team USA this summer, which could lead to a hard decision for USA Basketball Managing Director, Jerry Colangelo. Kyle Lowry was unstoppable in the fourth and led all scorers with 31 points. Paul Millsap scored 14 points and grabbed nine rebounds while Al Horford had 12 points, nine rebounds and two blocks.

This year, the Lakers were clearly a better overall team then they were in 2007, and the Cavaliers looked to be just as talented as the Western Conference champion, Lakers.

Drummond has five games with 20 or more rebounds this season. Nevertheless, they’ll both be in OH instead of riding pine during this game.

The Finals may not have been the closest games that the National Basketball Association has ever seen, but it’s hard to believe that Kobe Bryant is getting blown out in the Finals.

Make Kobe Shoot Jumpers: It isn’t a secret that Kobe has lost a step or two and he’s not as quick to the basket as he once was.

Kobe Bryant #24 of the Los Angeles Lakers converses with Byron Scott during the game against the Atlanta Hawks at Philips Arena on December 4, 2015 in Atlanta, Georgia. The Raptors defeated the Hawks 96-86. Kobe will take and miss a lot of questionable shots in this game. And even though he’s only hitting them at a 22% clip, he’s showing no signs of stopping. It is top-three protected, meaning the Lakers don’t have to give it to Philadelphia if it is among the top three after the draft lottery. What’s the worst that could happen? It all comes to an end for all of us. James took a day to collect his thoughts before delivering a powerful 15-minute tribute to Bryant on Tuesday, the future Hall of Famer whose posters hung on James’ wall as a kid. Byron told Bryant that he was going to cut back those minutes, which was when Kobe responded that it was fine because he was going to announce his retirement after the game. The Lakers play at Detroit on Sunday as they near the midway point of their eight-game road trip.

He also had a recent altercation with broadcast journalist Stephen A. Smith, calling the latter a “liar” when Smith said that he would most likely consider the Lakers as his final destination in next summer’s free agency.

Notes: No injuries to report.
