As a knick fan them guys had a decent record and been tanking. That should be our pick. Fk them! Wizards was winning games then started blatantly tanking so they can finish inside of the 8th pick.
SYBAU. You got to 77, coach called time out with 3 min left, you subbed back in being up 25. Then you BRICK a bunch of 3's left right and center. That's should've been it for you. With a minute and a half left, because you couldn't get the points on your own, the entire team helped you stat pad to 83. This ain't about Kobe, this is about you and the Heat making an disgraceful effort to carry you to the finish line.
In case you guys say, well he was on a heater. No, in the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th quarters combined, Bam shot 10/27 FG, 2/14 from 3. And the very next game you was ass. 6/20 FG. FOH.
Let me speak on behalf of Kobe fans. What we don't like is the way it was surpassed. Don't get me wrong, we would've probably hated anyone who passed it to be honest BUT we would've had nothing to say had it been done legitimately. Without the extra INTENTIONAL fouls and intentionally missed FTs. First it was an all time great performance but turned into a circus hunting the record. That's where respect was lost. If you gone surpass the greatest scoring record ever televised, do so legitimately. That's all we're saying. Yes, we would've hated anyone who did it, but his team and coach and opponents made it much easier to hate on him for doing it.
The while point is, if u put elite players on the freethrow line we should get new records regularly. im good with that scenario. call it the same evrey game.
Wilt played all 48 minutes to score 100 against a 27'-46 Knicks squad and Kobe 81 against a 14-26 Raptors. While Kobe's point were necessary since his 21-19 Lakers were down 14 at halftime it doesn't change the fact all three of these numbers were against miserable opponents. That truth can't be ignored.
Kobe fans aren't delusional, we wouldn't have hated if the record was broken, it's "the way" it was broken. If klad had did it the game he got hot ,yes we would absolutely point out that Kobe didn't have to rely on the greatest shooting threat of all time to pass him the ball, but we wouldnt be mad. If Luka did it yes we would've pointed out his lack of defense compared to kobe…..but we wouldnt be mad…the heat literally cheated the game of basketball that Kobe loved to break this record,even some of Kobes biggest haters have called this out
Im a Lakers fan since the late 70s and i dont wanna hear Kobe had a record when he didnt crap. Nobody cares about 2nd place. As the great Chick Hearn would've said "This ain't horseshoes". I wasnt a Bam fan u til i saw him help us win the gold metal. I watched him defensively and we wouldn't have won without him. Gotta a lot of respect for our former coach Pat Riley and the way they've done things there since the 90s.These new fans that like to say im a Kobe fan and not a LBJ even as he plays for us,are not real fans. Anybody who comes to the Lakers to help us win is a Laker for life. That includes Dennis in 1999. If we can have him here then everyone else is welcome here too. Just as an example, im a huge Shaq fan and im still upset over the Spurs and Robinson going for the scoring title that neant David had to scire 70 to win it. They made sure he got it. Not everyone is gonna be happy about 83. But someone will break that too.
All this people are delusional. The problem was not him going for it or the Wizards playing like 5th graders or the record being broken. It's the purposely missed free-throws, the purposely fouls made when the game is out of reach …it was a cheap way how he went about breaking the record. Nobody is criticizing the first 3 qtrs or all those freethrows. Again it's the cheap antics done by him and the Heat to get those extra possessions.
Dumb idiots think this guy will apologies after making Bam a mockery to 70% of the nba fans now?
Bam is a very good player but now and in the future when ppl see highest pts scored in a game record, they gong to search for videos to watch and mock at Bam and call him a bum.
Can you imagine if this guy apologises, Bam will become uncontested Bum of the century.
This is a manipulated sport game, sport game should be about competition and manipulation to break records should never happens in any sports
Everyone on the panel glazing this is why this era of NBA is the softest era ever! The last quarter was a disgrace to basketball and the integrity of the sport! It’s not about him scoring 83 it’s how the Heat went about it! That’s why it’s not going to be respected!

Windy stole Chris Broussard from first things 1st bit. I dont like it i love it
He made a good point players are always taking days off so Bam shook yall up with the trash ass Wizards. Now come for him
If only mcdaniel went for the field goal against the broncos a few seasons back.
Gibberish by Windhorst. I expect better commentary.
The real unethical thing that happened in that game was the wizards trying to tank until they were getting too embarrassed
I love it bam congratulations.
fouling in a blowout is crazy and intentionally missing in a blowout all to get more possessions in a blow out
It would be unethical to not stat pad against a tanking team. Tanking teams should be punching bags.
NBA is weak
Happy for him 😊😊
Stop him if you don't like it, that's his job to score! Wilt had 100 that's the record holder not kobe so who cares what they say
idc how the hell you get 83 points thats freaking impressive especially coming from an unlikely guy like bam!!!
What a shitshow!!, bwahahahahaha…
Did Bam throw Spoelstra under the bus?
CONGRATULATIONS BAM….HEAT. NATION….BABY , COMING ALIVE…. THEY JEALOUS , LET THEM STEP UP..THEN….DONT. HATE. CELEBRATE …
These commentators are being purposely obtuse
Let's go heat

If that were LeBalco's record, he would be upset is that record was broken
Imma Kobe fan and im still saying good for Bam cause he's underrated and humble!
Weak
It would only be unethical if the Heat were down 35 and bam was still going for the record
I know Bam got the BAM of a lifetime when him and Aja got home 💥
Lets blame the coach…
NBA is a joke league.
The NBA is a joke.

That's why I'm HEAT NATION. Coach Spo and BAM, two of my all time faves.
Nice try ESPN

Kobe never had the record to begin with
Nothing against Bam and coach, but the NBA as a whole is a complete joke.
Wilt got 100 in an ever more legendary manipulation than this 83. This is on the defense. Don’t like it? Stop him!

Let's be real. He only hit 20 field goals. Him going 1 on 1 to score 83 points is not exactly what happened 😂
