He was a douche his entire career, a bad teammate, a bad guy to reporters, raped a girl and got away with it, yet created this illusion in his final year as some loveable, gracious athlete and ambassador to re-write his own history. I think the Lakers sold themselves out with the Farewell Tour farce to make money and stunted the growth of the team and their younger players. I think the Lakers and Kobe disrespected the game last night by giving him 50 shots so he could blow it out one last time. So all I can say is, good riddance. I won't miss him and I'm glad the Lakers have lowered themselves to that level.

This pretty much sums it up for me.

They basically gave away a year to let him chuck and ballhog. Typical. Oh well. I am not sure that many teams would have done differently under the circumstances. Pretty funny that they just fed him the ball to chuck up shots all night. I didn't watch because I was glued to the Warriors' 73rd win. Did the opposing team guard Kobe or did they just let him score? Was this an "Emperor's new clothes" situation?

Larry had two 28-30ppg 50-40-90 seasons (plus 9rpg, 6-8apg) but needed 40mpg, whereas Curry used only 34mpg.

TMac 32/6+/5+ @45-38-79% deserves a shout-out once you consider he was absolutely on his own on that Magic team.

Wilt's season where he *averaged* 50 points and 25 rebounds a game stands on its own. But, different era, not really a "modern" stat like others have said.

Yeah, I was going to say. Man, that's really hands off!

The Brooklyn Nets have named Atlanta Hawks assistant Kenny Atkinson as their new head coach, the team announced Sunday.

Atkinson will continue with the Hawks until the end of the team's postseason run.
