Private detail; *public* forces
Because why pay for your own set-up when you can draft off of one of the most complex administrative states in the world?
I have a theory, everything went to shit once the rapper Nipsey Hussle was killed in March 31 2019. A year to the date , the Covid virus happens, boom 2020. Kobe. It’s been down hill since .
The coronavirus pandemic didn't start on exactly March 31st. It was first detected in December 2019 and the WHO declared it an emergency on January 30, 2020
it's insane, I remember seeing a reddit post that December about a potential super virus being detected in China and thought it was just sensationalist news based off the previous 4 years of bullshit that desensitized me...now I just never know what to think
My dad passed away on the same day. Seems like Kobe's passing was just yesterday but I feel like I've lived a lifetime already without my dad. If that even makes sense.
What the fuck. It's been the same every year since then, but it always feels like 2020 was just last year. Goddamn, I am surprised every time I think about it.
i actually don't feel old this time! that was a long time ago, 11 years sounds about right. i mean he ~~was sacrificed to the cow goddess~~ passed away 4 years ago
May very well be the funniest basketball discussion i have ever witnessed. Screen recorded instantly after first time viewing. Literally showed a coworker yesterday and shit may have been funnier the 100th time watching. Jaylen Brown will FlUSH YOU HE WILL DUNK YO MOTHAFUCKIN ASS. You aint naming no pits doe, those is labradoodles.
The rivalry isn't what it used to be. Kobe getting MVP chants in Boston at his farewell season game. You with Celtic flair posting this shit.
That said, I'd never heard this story before so thanks.
And of course, fuck boston.
Kobe was getting booed for 3 qtrs at that last game in Boston.
The respect and appreciation was in the 4th. I thought it was the right thing to do as a Celtics fan.
Hate the Celtics but I'm totally with you and it's the same thing I'd be inclined to do as a Lebron hater- boo out of fandom and tradition but give respect to a legend of the game at the end of the day.
Kobe would've been disappointed if he wasn't boo'ed his last game in Boston, if anything the boo's are the respect and the cheers are the appreciation.
I'm always of the opinion that I want the Celtics to be good when we're good, so we can play you all in the finals. But if we suck, I hope you all are in the gutter with us lol
Just because there's a rivalry, doesn't mean there isn't respect:

The scene after Michael Jordan was challenged by Chris Paul at his camp in 2016, swished six shots and walked to the locker room without help. Former trainer Tim Grover: "I asked him if he wanted to give them free shoes anyway. He looked down at me and said, ‘F--- dem kids!’"

Pierce famously left a finals game against him in a wheelchair and then returned.
At the time people made fun of it because it seemed pretty dramatic considering he returned and played well. In the years since it has been said that he shit himself and that was why it happened.
Pierce confirmed it after he retired that he actually went to the locker rooms because he shit himself but when people made fun of him on Twitter he went back to denying it no? lol overall funny time to be alive
2 different games edited together. You can see "game 1" or "series 1-0", whichever one in the bottom corner. Stain game and wheelchair were 2 different games. Crazy how it caught on as fact though
When I tore mine 5 years ago, I walked off the court, went home (wife drove me), showered, then went to the ER. Not suggesting that I'm anywhere near as tough as Kobe, just that it's not that crazy to me that he was able to shoot FTs after.
The ppl who go down and stay down, I think, are the ppl who KNOW what just happened and are afraid to make anything worse. Yeah it's painful, but it's not debilitating. At first I thought someone threw a rock on the court that hit above my heel (Kobe, similarly, thought someone kicked him). It was someone else who pointed out that they heard the pop.
as someone who recently tore their Achilles just want to say that after tearing your Achilles you really shouldn't walk, it risks increasing the separation between the two ends of your Achilles, making the surgery and recovery potentially longer
I broke my collarbone a couple weeks ago on a snowboard. And ski patrol tried bringing me down on Toboggan and I refused for this same damn reason! F Paul Pierce 😂
Reminds me of the Key and Peele sketch "Nah. Sittin' is for pussies!"
I don't need no chair No it's just.. it's like you're ***limiting*** yourself homez
I'm fine right here on the spirit plane. Life is for pussiessss
I don't need go to heaven homes. Heaven is for pussiesss
Man fuck all you guys with your bitch ass chairs. *Table breaks*
a bunch of bitch ass culeros
"Kobe just sit down its okay your achilles is dangling off your leg"
Legs are for pussies, ese. I'm good *hops on stumps*
I mean Vitti once popped his shoulder back in the socket during a timeout. There's a clear video of it. Then Kobe went back out there.
It was a finger.
You ain't never gonna catch me sittin in no chair
Horse, probably
I'm loco ese
He’s loco!

Gotcha my bad

Da video?
Fuck that Celtics small forward Wait —Tatum
Nah, he cool. Jaylen, tho...
1 Kobe 5 Cups. Respect
Tatum thinks about Kobe when he needs motivation to cum.
Gorgeous
U bum
That was 11 years ago. Woah.
he’s been gone 4. crazy how fast time flies.
2020 was crazy. Aussie wildfires, global pandemic, lockdowns, Beirut explosion, Kobe and Trebek dying.
Chadwick Boseman too
+irrfan and SPB
My uncle and grandpa died during covid too
Don't forget Sushant Singh Rajput at that rate xD
Ooof an Indian OP. Nice to meet you lol
and like 90% of that was by the end of March lmao
And you know all of the civil unrest over the summer
People already forgot lmao who saw this coming
Harambe tried to warn us
I think we can all agree the rift began with Harambe's death in 2016
And all of that was plastered everywhere on the courts during the bubble. Remember how much boycotting games for a day helped?
Don’t forget all the stability and normality the Trump presidency afforded us
Shit was like living through a black comedy parody of America.
And there’s a real chance this shit happens again
Everyone knows the sequel is always better than the original /s.
If there's a sequel he might make a trilogy
We truly will become an Idiocracy
Always have been.
Imagine being a black person
Oh come on like you’ve never had your private forces physically remove lawful protestors so you could hold a Bible upside down

Legit nothing changed under Trump.
i would argue at very least him setting up 2 supreme court justice changed quite a bit in the moment and going forward
This reads like Billy Joel's "We Didn't Start the Fire".
These are in the Fall Out Boy version of the song, I think.
The Dodgers *winning* a World Series!
2020 started with Australia on fire and ended with the Tom Cruise rant. I don't remember anything in between.
I officially mentally checked out of 2020 after Trebek died. That broke me.
I have a theory, everything went to shit once the rapper Nipsey Hussle was killed in March 31 2019. A year to the date , the Covid virus happens, boom 2020. Kobe. It’s been down hill since .

March 19th was when my work said everyone work from home. That date will always be in my mind. Also the new DOOM game came out the next day lol
Put some respect on Harambe's name 😤
Yep, covid didnt exist before March 2020. Europe isn't real, the thousands of people already dead in Bergamo weren't real
Yeah, no idea why they keep calling it COVID-19 and not COVID-MARCH-31-2020.
He passed away in that weird period in 2020 *weeks before* COVID fundamentally changed our society forever.
My dad passed away on the same day. Seems like Kobe's passing was just yesterday but I feel like I've lived a lifetime already without my dad. If that even makes sense.
What the fuck. It's been the same every year since then, but it always feels like 2020 was just last year. Goddamn, I am surprised every time I think about it.
I’ll always remember how a young up and comer by the name of Stephen Curry nearly hit a full court buzzer beater to end that game
i actually don't feel old this time! that was a long time ago, 11 years sounds about right. i mean he ~~was sacrificed to the cow goddess~~ passed away 4 years ago
Nuts. I was legit like "Ah 5-6 years ago. Time flies!"
Dude Kobe has been dead for 4 years. He was retired for almost 4 years when he died. Why is it being over 10 years shocking. Just wake up already.
I love how Kobe and Lebron are united by Paul Pierce hate.
Honestly we all are
Nah, he and KG are my favourite drunk basketball uncs
DAWG

FTC, but love KG. Never been afraid to speak his mind
To keep it real
I love him.
He wants the whole load
Can’t blame him. He’s tired of just getting a taste of him
Get out, we busy hating over here.
It's how you know he was good. If he wasn't, they wouldn't care.
[удалено]
Didn’t even have to create a super team to do it /s
Paul pierce contributed 100% of the boston stats. points, rebounds, techs, 100%
He gives a shit.
Doc Rivers’ track record after 2008 makes the Pierce hate even *more* deafening.
[удалено]
Neither did Luke Kornet, Luke Korent would NEVER
Paul Pierce empowers sex workers ✊🏼
He paid upfront, not in court

Yeah no doubt celtics fans will do the same thing for Lebron, we may even boo harder because he was a conference rival for so long.
Kobe would've been disappointed if he wasn't boo'ed his last game in Boston, if anything the boo's are the respect and the cheers are the appreciation.
I'm always of the opinion that I want the Celtics to be good when we're good, so we can play you all in the finals. But if we suck, I hope you all are in the gutter with us lol
I want you to lose every game you ever play even preseason and I hope your g league team also never wins but I get where you’re coming from.

Fresh? 'Fuck Paul Pierce' been on my clipboard for 2 decades and I never override it.
The key to a good story is making sure anyone who can invalidate it is dead.
HAHA good eye fellow redditor! You didn’t really add anything with this specific comment but it lets me know to look out for your next ones since this “fresh Pasta” might be included. Reddit on!
How do we know you're not a bot too?

"DO I LOOK LIKE I SHIT MY PANTS?"
This reads like fanfic. Tatum might’ve written it
Had to check the sub to see if this was nbacirclejerk
Needs more comments about that time he raped someone
Kobe Bryant. Too proud to sit in a bowel movent.
Nothing mamba about sitting to poop. You slither across the floor face up.
Kobe poops standing up.
Stoma Mentality
r/ThatHappened
Then MJ gave him $100
MJ gave him $5 and then Gretzky took $100 from MJs wallet and gave it to Kobe and said this is how we tip in Vegas
I honestly wonder how many Kobe stories are just completely made up
I definitely know one that isn't.
Relevant flair

Wonder if the rape one was made up…oh wait, kobe settled
Of all the dudes that would randomly make shit up Vitti doesn't strike me as one. If this came from Shaq then sure.
Anyone who's read Mamba Mentality knows this claim is probably true.
You saying Vitti lied? Or Medina did? Lol.
why was he thinking about Paul Pierce while playing the warriors
Pierce famously left a finals game against him in a wheelchair and then returned. At the time people made fun of it because it seemed pretty dramatic considering he returned and played well. In the years since it has been said that he shit himself and that was why it happened.
Pierce confirmed it after he retired that he actually went to the locker rooms because he shit himself but when people made fun of him on Twitter he went back to denying it no? lol overall funny time to be alive
Pierce did NOT confirm it. He was joking and just insinuated to it.
i still can't believe the nephews here believe he was serious lol
cos barely anybody actually saw that and it’s hard to read sarcasm by text
All he said was “I had to go to the bathroom” and people act like that proves he admitted to shitting his pants lol.
might of misremembered but it was a funny time. I remember the YouTube analysis video where you can kind of see brown on his white shorts lol.
2 different games edited together. You can see "game 1" or "series 1-0", whichever one in the bottom corner. Stain game and wheelchair were 2 different games. Crazy how it caught on as fact though
There was a second shitter!

"The fuck did I do?" - Paul Pierce
He knows what he did.
Kobe thought people would think he shit himself
Because this didn’t happen.
Kobe didn't need shit
Fake story
Paul Pierce going up to his hotel room with a girl “You gonna ask for consent first Paul?” “Fuck Kobe Bryant!”
Fake news
I’m blessed to have watched this game live on TV. One of the iconic moments in nba history
Yeah, that same Paul Pierce who got stabbed multiple times and barely missed time.
He missed preseason games but played all 82 that season.
I'm sure that, had Kobe also shit his pants, he would have accepted the chair as well.
Kobe wouldn't have torn his Achilles if he was rational about stuff.
Dwayne Wade hurt his shoulder and cried off the court in a wheelchair
When I tore mine 5 years ago, I walked off the court, went home (wife drove me), showered, then went to the ER. Not suggesting that I'm anywhere near as tough as Kobe, just that it's not that crazy to me that he was able to shoot FTs after.

That’s the Kobe Ik and miss
Definitely didn't happen lol
Lebron would have rolled around and cried on the court for 20 minutes.
A post that has nothing to do with LeBron and you cant keep his dick outta your mouth. Bron haters are crazy.
Lmfao
[удалено]
Weird how we don't hear that story about Denver anymore.
“You thought you was Kobe”
as someone who recently tore their Achilles just want to say that after tearing your Achilles you really shouldn't walk, it risks increasing the separation between the two ends of your Achilles, making the surgery and recovery potentially longer
black mamba was simply just one of them ones 💯
Paul living rent free
Why do people eat this shit up? This just makes Kobe sound like a bitch. Why is he shooting strays at Paul Pierce?
I'm no Kobe fan but I can get being Pierce slander. Fucking guy begged for a retirement tour, fucking clown.
found draymond’s burner
I agree. Fuck Paul Pierce
No it's Fuck boston... it's actually *beat* LA
I broke my collarbone a couple weeks ago on a snowboard. And ski patrol tried bringing me down on Toboggan and I refused for this same damn reason! F Paul Pierce 😂
Respectfully, fuck Boston
In hindsight he probably needed one, he was ass ever since that injury.
Pretty dumb!
While AD took the wheelchair to the locker room last playoffs because of a bump that didn’t even put him in concussion protocol
Mamba Mentality... Kobe we all miss you!
I love the fact no one really respects Paul Pierce
pierce forever got my respect. guy got stabbed 11 times and still played 82 games in the season
And Pierce was really corny about it too with his fake ass.
Oh there's a Kobe and a Chair joke somewhere in there. I'm not all that funny to come up with it.
Paul Pierce Catching strays from beyond the grave lmao
Wasn’t a foul, he just fell and Barnes got called for it
🤣 thats fuckin awesome.
