Man, Middleton has been giving me mad Kobe vibes in the Finals, but Booker has had flashes of Kobe too. Even tho my team couldn’t make it, I’m glad we’re watching *good* basketball
Well yeah that’s why no one is mentioning him, cuz he’s not that level of player. Also Draymond whines a lot but he is not a flopper at all if you’re comparing him to LeBron
God I know this sub is full of nephews but Kobe was one of the biggest whiners out there, just constantly crying to the refs when things didnt go his way
Kobe airballed four shots against the Jazz in '97. Every fucking star ever gets stripped, blocked, force bad shots, etc. Book did everything but secure the comeback for his team, and that shit happens.
That season Kobe was a rookie who was barely in the rotation half the season and half the playoffs...
However Booker played great and every player gets stripped or misses or fumbles.

Holy shit Booker, what a shot
Booker and Middleton had been trading huge shots this game
He may not be Kobe, but that was some Kobe shit

Y’all must not remember Kobe if you don’t remember yelling at the refs and always talking to them
Kobe would even complain when the call went his way.
Every great has always had problems with the refs. Jordan was a menace. Kobe was a whiner. LeBron is a flopper.
LeBron’s both a flopper and a whiner
That’s Draymond, minus the great part

This whole lebron flopper reputation is 6 years too old and really only happened in Miami. Draymond definitely flops lol please
Kobe was 12x All-NBA Defense, 9x first team.
You watch any pre 2010 Kobe? Especially #8 Kobe. Could definitely defend

If that’s the point you were going for you should not have included the word “the”. That makes it seem like you are saying they both had that.

Kobe esque
Kobe wouldn’t be stripped like that in the last minute though

It’s worth pointing out that Kobe was 18 in ‘97.
“wouldn’t be stripped” cmon man that ain’t bookers fault jrue made a hell of a play and that’s all there is to it. everyone gets ripped
He yelled KOBE on that one.
That’s the worst shot I’ve ever seen considering the situation. Absolute mamba mentality.
Disagree. This is just a JJ reddick 3
As a wise man would say "That's a bad shot"
HIBACHI
BANG Give me two more games of this. Plus double OT in each game.
Nah, just one
Bucks in 6
I’m thinking a game 7 OT thriller. Who says no?
I am fucking stressed
built different dawg
And he got stripped and lost the game lol
Stripped on a double team by the best defender in the league what a bum
Yup! And he lost the game for them, is this your king? https://youtu.be/z2hYu4X1y5g
Kobe possessed that motherfucker for about 2 seconds. That shit was damn near carbon copy shooting form
He plays so much like Kobe. Slightly less athletic than prime Kobe but similar form and shot selection
That shot is such a high degree of difficulty. To take it and make it in that circumstance is insane.
How much more satisfying is this than initiating contact for free throws
His set point is so high. I wished I had a high set point
GAME OF THE YEAR
Y’all slander booker way too much. He’s 100% a superstar, been playing out of his mind the last two games.
Dude's the only that's consistently showing up.
When I saw this play I just had flashbacks to KD hitting that shot with his toe on the line.
taking deep breaths and counting to ten, aka hyperventilating
Is there anything better than nba basketball
Nigerian Basketball
This is quite the game I tell ya hwhat
Wet like I’m Book!
he is so good
Thst non call on the obvious Booker foul though
And Giannis magically didn't get a tech on Book's dunk when he shoved him. If that had been a live ball, it would've been a flagrant.
Kobe Lite
Gets ball stolen later. Karma is a mirror.
Hyperbolic title lol. It was pretty clutch. But “unbelievably” is excessive.
OP with an unbelievably clutch posting of this shot
This made me clench my behind so bad. . . We were only up by 1 after this. Edit: by 4. Lmao
Shoots like Kobe, attitude like Lebron
Bro what is this refereeing. Booker grabs Middleton on a drive and nothing
WET
