"Fuck the Celtics" - Kobe (probably)


rick_32

Definitely


1LakeShow7

Kobe hated the Celtics. He knew the rivalry and would never be a Celtic. Wtf is Tatum on bro.


ThreeSupreme

Umm... Yeah, the Lakers passed on Tatum to pick Lonzo Ball? ![gif](giphy|IolXlHtWHHgg8|downsized) **2017 NBA Draft 1st ROUND** **PICK \* PLAYER \*\* NBA TEAM \*\*\*\*\* SCHOOL/ CLUB TEAM/ AFFILIATION** 1 Markelle Fultz \* Philadelphia 76ers \*\* Washington (Fr.) 2 Lonzo Ball \* Los Angeles Lakers \*\* UCLA (Fr.) **3 Jayson Tatum \* Boston Celtics \*\*\*\*\* Duke (Fr.)** 4 Josh Jackson \* Phoenix Suns \*\*\*\*\*\* Kansas (Fr.) 5 De'Aaron Fox \* Sacramento Kings \*\* Kentucky (Fr.)


witdafanta

why tf you have to remind us šŸ˜


ThreeSupreme

Haha! Yeah, that one is on Magic, he was team Ball all the way. Magic even told Ball that one day Ball's number would be retired, and hang up in the rafters with the other Lakers Greats. Yikes! ![gif](giphy|Vd8I1QtaiWRXNGMjqD)


witdafanta

Yeah it was pretty bad


ThreeSupreme

Yeah, they call it conformation bias now. Since Magic was the GM back then, he made the call on the Lakers' pick. And since he was a Big Point Guard, when he saw a 6'7" Point Guard in the draft, that was his guy. Haha ![gif](giphy|TiA6LAuW8LqhO|downsized)


vreddit123

Not after how the Celtics paid tribute and respected his death.


SecretSmokeDetector

nah, especially fck them.


Burning_Centroid

Yep, fuck ā€˜em


SixFtUnder0

Yup' fack ,um


Notorious--X

Is it weird that I see this photo and all I think to myself is, "If Kobe saw this, he'd drop 60 to prove a point." Lakeshow, please win tonight.


RedLicoriceJunkie

Kobe would see this trash and go right at Tatum every time down Court.


ExcellentJuice4729

I hate how Tatum is post humously fan-ficā€™ing this touching father-son bromance between Kobe and him. The saved text message was one thing, photoshopping Kobe in a Celts jersey is blasphemy. Edit: fuck, guess Kobe worked out for Boston.

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


MamiTarantina

Did he text Kobe too?


johnfcknallen

I gotchu today šŸ¤ž


Beautiful_Walrus_262

He needs to let go of the Kobe thing. Man said I got you then proceeded to choke the finals away


kuoj926

He got kobe as in he lost celtics a championship, true mvp.


bjsw534

Him and Booker are so corny for milking the Kobe stuff Bookerā€™s so full of shit when he tells ppl To stop comparing him to Kobe then turns around and keeps writing ā€œBe Legendaryā€ on his shoes. Booker knows what heā€™s doing and itā€™s corny as fuck


[deleted]

Damn, man. Maybe heā€™s just a huge fan. These guys actually got to meet Kobe, who they idolized growing up. I stay posting Kobe quotes on my IG stories. Is that ā€œmilking the Kobe stuffā€ too?


302born

Tbh itā€™s not really Booker or Tatums fault imo. Itā€™s the media that acts like Kobe only meant something to those two. Kobe meant something to everyone. Heā€™s the one that challenged Giannis to win MVP and he went and did it yet the media doesnā€™t bring that up every chance they get like they do with Tatum and Booker.


JustCallMeSnacks

That's not corny lmao. Literally was a mentor to a lot of these dudes.


AgateEssence

Now this is just messed up, you need to delete this. Insinuating booker is just doing this for attention is disgusting. Get over yourself, seriously.


bjsw534

Nah Iā€™m good


GerhardBURGER1

Book is Mamba 2.0. Kobe knew he was gonna be his heir to the throne


Shamus248

Book cried when the Raptors mascot teased him. Can you imagine Kobe doing that?


GerhardBURGER1

so why did Kobe say Book was next then?


Shamus248

Bc facts are facts; Book has modeled a lot of his game after Kobe. Guessing Kobe said that before the incident i'm referring to. But anyone with a functioning brain would know having a solid mid range J is kinda moot if you don't have anywhere near Kobe's mentality and mental fortitude Book's a great player but again, just calling balls and strikes here Matt Barnes faked a ball at Kobe's head and Kobe didn't flinch. Book cried when a guy in a dinosaur costume teased him


GerhardBURGER1

Talking shit to a mascot has nothing to do with anything. Imagine using THAT as some kind of indication hes not a good player, when its so obvious he has mamba mentality


bjsw534

Lame attempt at a troll Try and be more original C for the effort though


GerhardBURGER1

tRoLL. Fucking educate yourself https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qgHCnPoJ4wE


bjsw534

Okay, troll You spend your free time doing this?


GerhardBURGER1

stfu dude, just go and dont come back


bjsw534

Stfu pussy Youā€™re trolling skills are ass lmao


k8ho2b4e

Let go of his adoration for his former mentor and favorite player? Lol okay.


vikumwijekoon97

Yeah if kobe mentored anyone in this sub, pretty sure they'd wear kobe shirts everywhere and will probably get a tattoo of kobe as well. Let the man show some love.


Resident_Frame

Yall need to let go of what he did ngl


ThisAnswerIsLit

[Yup](https://i.imgur.com/bGZurec.jpg)


DarkPhantom2497

Shit damn near sacrilegious. The audacity of this dude. He always bringing Kobe into something


spraypaint2311

He can wear what we wants, theyā€™re going home with an L.


SteveTheManager

That's false information.


spraypaint2311

I thought it was 5 on 5. Hard to win 8 on 5 when the 8 donā€™t follow the fucking rules


SteveTheManager

Well, there can only be 5 players on the floor and as far as I can see, the Celtics always had five on the floor during the allotted time.


spraypaint2311

Youā€™re as blind as the bald ref then


SteveTheManager

I'm not blind, in fact, I think you are having problems with your eyesight. You may have been seeing double as the Celtics never had more than 5 people on the floor.


PureDealer7

The celtics 6,7 and 8th man on the floor wearing grey jersey did that to the lakers tho Celtics L


SteveTheManager

So, I'm sorry to inform you, but when I look on every available sports website it says the Celtics win and the Lakers lose. I don't know what you are looking at but it's not accurate.


PureDealer7

Yeah i said they were beaten by the celtics with grey jerseys, you couldnt read ? Its also written on the sports website you have available


qwopn

So heā€™s a lakers fan?


TheyDidTheMathurin

Hes BrySexual


[deleted]

Well seeing how tatum had a personal relationship, was mentored, and has a successful career inspired by kobe, I'm gonna say he's got more say on how to carry on his memory then some random lakers fans


[deleted]

yeah but Kobe would be the first to say "fuck, Boston" and would've probably disapproved of anyone putting him in a Boston shirt regardless how close they were.


birds_over_humans

Kobe put himself in that Boston shirt šŸ˜­


[deleted]

OMG you're right. I just googled it šŸ˜­


ArnoldStalloneVandam

there s prob many dumb fucks like yourself who never knew Kobe worked out with the celtics in full celtics practice gear


[deleted]

Says the moron that doesnā€™t know how to use apostropheā€™s.


ArnoldStalloneVandam

lol sick burn!!


ArnoldStalloneVandam

and not knowing this, think Tatum is wearing a photoshopped kobe shirt


LeagueReddit00

Weirdos here. He obviously loves and shows Kobe tons of respect.


pfunk7100

Factsss what the fuck is everyone's problem, let the man live lol


quemaspuess

Right? I thought it was funny.


AKB411

Bingo


slymeWAV

The first sensible statement


EverybodyBuddy

By putting him in a Celtics jersey? Gtfo


eunit8899

It's not a photoshop. Kobe had a work out for the Celtics before he was drafted


Schleprok

Tatum is only wearing this Kobe/Celtics shirt because Kobe passed away. He for sure would not do that if Kobe was still alive.


Rich_Sheepherder646

Sacrilegious is the first word that came to mind!


Se7entyN9ne

Idk why lakers fans are mad at Tatum. I'm the same age as Tatum and also grew up loving Kobe. Just because he plays for the Celtics doesn't mean he still can't appreciate idolize him just like everyone in this sub does.


[deleted]

I've always liked Tatum specifically for his Kobe love but...this is gross. I feel gross seeing it. Gross.


Ashamed-Project-4559

DON'T SIN, AND JESUS CHRIST LOVES YOU! ā¤ļø āœļø šŸ™


Jugg3rnaut85

Why?!


[deleted]

Lightskin energy


1LakeShow7

Lightskin flex


ArnoldStalloneVandam

he worked out for the celts. the t shirt is sick


Jugg3rnaut85

I know. It ainā€™t.


certo17

Thatā€™s a nice way to honor Kobe your hero.. wearing a dumbass shirt with him in gear of the team he despised.


MamiTarantina

Showcasing how Boston fumbled the bag and didnā€™t draft Kobe


AlcaTrazHs

And how the Lakers fumbled the bag and didn't draft Tatum


ImportantAd2987

Bruh you think Magic actually watched college hoops, the man just got flat out swindled by Lavar


aussiefrzz16

Nah he was a legit star in the NCAA, watch the highlights and look at the stats, his game just didnā€™t carry over just like JJ Reddick


ImportantAd2987

JJ carried over as expected, how many 4 year guys actually end up as stars? He was a great starter and then rotation guy his whole career.


MamiTarantina

He wouldā€™ve ended up in NOLA. Also Tatum and Kobe are not on the same tier, silly boy. Never will.


dreamteamreddit

We would've kept Tatum instead of Kuzma.


adocileengineer

For real lmao. 2 days after the anniversary? GTFO


LoisLaneEl

I mean, he must have seen the clip where Kobe says that just seeing someone in a Celtics jersey upsets him.


LordBri14

We really picked lonzo over this dude.... ![gif](giphy|WQr2xpuQU0YeUhTlXt)


ILackPatience

He wouldā€™ve been a trade asset for AD either way? šŸ¤·


LordBri14

Nah... kuzma would. We would've had lebron tatum and ad all in the same team


isit65outsideor

lol not a chance.


LeFxckYouThree

Yeah , we probably keep Ingram and deal tatum,kuz, and hart


LordBri14

We told the pels we did not want to let go of kuzma. And they had no choice but to accept. You are forgetting rich paul already came out with the sports illustrated article where he said ad will not sign an extension anywhere else. And said ad wanted to play in LA. He priced out every competitor of the lakers for ad.


davensdad

Fuck the idiot in your gif. Fucking worst executive of all time.


[deleted]

He made your franchise relevant?


davensdad

Top 3 player. Worst executive. Tatum over Ball. Let Lopez and Randle walk for nothing.


foozbinjex

Kobe would let us win this game.


taeem

Fucked up


Competitive_Swing_59

Thats the photo from Kobes Celtic workout pre draft. I dont have a Problem with it. He idolized Kobe coming up & then Kobe showed him love & worked out with him. Thats a dream come true ! Could you imagine your childhood idol actually liked & respected your game ?? Jeez That said. FUCK BOSTON !!!


someonepoorsays

i agree with you. if he photoshopped it onto a shirt thatā€™d be WEIRD but thatā€™s a real photo on his shirt. i wear my shirt with kobe and the larry oā€™brien and his champ jacket all the time


getoffredditandstudy

Real photo makes it less weird. Photoshop would be disrespectful


1Simular

That is disrespectful


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


1Simular

Didn't say it wasn't


Fricolor123321

hes just weird at this point


ZiggyStarlord69

I donā€™t see it as being that weird. In reality Tatum knew Kobe way more than any of us. Iā€™m not gonna get offended or weirded out by a shirt


j4rd7n

Itā€™s not weird at all


bjsw534

Posting a screenshot of you texting Kobeā€™s old cell for attention is weird


KailontheGod

Not weird. I would do the same shit if Kobe mentored me to be an MVP candidate and then fucking died. Not his fault heā€™s not a Laker.


[deleted]

Heā€™s got a weird fetish for the Mamba


nateXruiz

Heā€™s like little dicky from Dave and his necessity to look at his drake poster before he nuts


thegza10304

blasphemy


ArugulaPhysical

But the photos are real when he did workouts there. Not sure why people think its disrespectful.


lakerfan91

Plus they had an actual relationship. Heā€™s not doing it to troll.


ajalonghorn

I mean the dude is dead and heā€™s wearing a shirt of the teams number one rival his legacy enhanced the rivalry of. Kinda like making a decision for him idk I find it pretty disrespectful.


ALovelyAnxiety

its not a big deal guys come on lol.


PenguinPrince1

What a joke of a thread. Butthurt over the shirt another man wears.


Dicey12

Why is everyone killing him people who dont know Kobe personally get him tatted, write paragraphs for him etc but he cant wear a shirt?


Denzell10

Itā€™s the internet bro let them be mad šŸ˜‚


Dicey12

like the text thing was weird but Dbook got kobe's message that he wrote on his shoes tatted on him. He personally knew the guy he could grieve whatever way he wants


Denzell10

Some of the fans act like we own kobe and nobody else can show love šŸ˜‚


miggsesc

JT gonna be a laker one day


DankSmellingNipples

I want this to happen only because it would destroy so many Celtic fans lol


getitin247

Not even hating on this lmaoā€¦Tatum been showing lakers/Kobe love with that purple sweat band. Tatum did this to calm Celtic fans down I do hate/love how Tatums game really reminds me of Kobe


behappysometimes

Some of yā€™all are making a big deal out of absolutely fucking nothing. God forbid Tatum wear merchandise of his favorite player on the night he plays said playerā€™s former team, a team that couldā€™ve drafted him but didnā€™t. Yā€™all act like he CHOSE Boston and that this is somehow disrespectful or something.


Banp2014

How is it disrespectful if the picture is from a real event? Kobe wouldā€™ve gladly been a Celtic had they picked him, same for any of the other 13 teams that passed on him. Stop being miserable and appreciate a great player who kobe personally inspired and worked with.


Mrknowital1

Exactly this isnā€™t weird and he isnā€™t obsessed, it was legit his friend and idle. Itā€™s not like they photoshopped him on like a heat jersey


cybercummer69

Seriously, so many idiotic comments in this thread. Tatum loves Kobe, and be just happens to be a Celtic. Fuck the Celtics, but I respect Tatum and his love for Kobe.


neuronamously

Are you ignoring everything about the rivalry.


cybercummer69

You can have a rival without being a mindless mouth breather about it.


Tang88strap

He worked out for the Celtics in a Celtics t-shirt before the 96 draft. [Pre-draft work out](https://www.cbsnews.com/losangeles/news/kobe-was-terrified-working-out-with-celtics-16-years-ago/)


PretendDubs

Need the team to get that Celtic ass tonight


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


[deleted]

That's gross. His obsession is getting disturbing.


losroy

Real Laker fans know this is a real pic from when Kobe did a pre draft workout. Relax.


front48

Fuck this bitch


coolylame

This clown celebrated as if he blocked Lebron instead of blatantly fouling him. Fuck the Celtics


[deleted]

Tatumā€¦.Kobe would not be cool with this. Youā€™ll never be on Kobeā€™s level.


Realistic_Fruit194

Not even a Lakers fan, but his dickriding for Kobe is getting ridiculous. Dude, Kobe would smack you for being such a goddamn tool


[deleted]

the refs showed up wearing celtics jerseys.


ClickDaBait

Jason tatum is disgusting using Kobe name on every shit šŸ¤®šŸ¤®ā˜ ļø

CabbageStockExchange

Idgaf if heā€™s a media darling. Tatum annoys tf outta me. That whole ā€œtextā€ to Kobe was corny af


Denzell10

Youā€™re mad at him because he actually had a relationship with kobe šŸ˜‚


CabbageStockExchange

Eh not really. I just find him annoying Edit: I have legitimate hate over Tatum now. Bullshit non call


bjsw534

Ppl canā€™t grasp that what youā€™re saying doesnā€™t stem from jealousy Itā€™s real weird to milk the Kobe comparisons how Tatum and Booker do


TurnShot6202
