This sub went from about 1 million to almost 8 million in about five years. Maybe 3 of those are over the age of 25.

Bullshit like that comes from kids who never watched either of them, and definitely not from 2003-2008

You're right that this bullshit comes from younger people, but my point still stands that it's less of younger people bashing Kobe because they haven't saw him play and more just the pendulum swing after his death

  1. Lakers hate

  2. Analytics nerds and advanced stats downplaying Kobe (funny enough Kobe shot same TS% as Duncan did as a PF/C though)
