One of my favorite memories of this Kobe-Ray Allen feud:

I’m not exactly sure when this game that I’m talking about took place. But I know that Ray was at Seattle and I’m pretty sure Kobe was without Shaq. Kobe was taking it hard and scoring from everywhere. Ray was giving it right back to Kobe too, though. And this is “young Ray” we’re talking about here, so he’s taking it to the hole…hitting midrange jumpers…just playing “franchise-aggressive”.

Anyways, both of these dudes are getting physical defensively, guarding each other…getting a little heated. On one Sonics possession, Ray gets the ball around the top of the key and dribbles left along the 3-point arc–Kobe all up in his face. Ray dribbles hard left as if he’s taking it to the basket, gives a quick jab step, steps back and shoots a quick-release 3 pointer. Here’s the part I LOVE:

As soon as he releases his shot….ball still rising up into the air…Ray yells, “BIIIIIIIIAAATTTTCHHHHH!!!!” Swoosh….All net.

I looked all over YouTube for that….never could find it.
No one else remembers this???

Hey Dime. I’m not sure where I saw it, maybe it was a local thing here in socal, but I did see a piece where Kobe said he went up to Ray during a preseason game in Ray’s last run as a Sonic and kinda talked things out to sorta make peace. I don’t remember where I saw it, but I know I’m not the only one either.

Celts take game one in OT 97-92

KObe goes for 32 but shoots under 44 percent

The Big 3 lives by the name and steps up for 73 points

Dude ratted on his teamattes for cheating on the road!!!
Dude are you serious????
His passion for the game makes him play wit torn ligaments!
But as Youngfed would say, his b*tcha*sness makes him snitch on his teammates for cheating when HE gets caught!
Kobe is the most skilled player in the game, but YES, dude is a chump!
Not to mention the way he did bynum for no good reason. chump, chump, chump!!!

LMAO Nostradamus. Thats great. But damn we all knew it would blow up in Kobe’s face but to predict it this accurately is creepy. I hope this feud only sparks some great ball cause when Ray’s on he is unguardable and seein as the C’s have 3 players who are like that while the Lakers only have the 1, this is gonna prove to be interesting. I cant wait for tomorrow, I feel like its Christmas Eve right now lol. I wonder whose gonna be the announce team, Im praying for Mark Jackson, Van Gundy and Breen they are one of the best announce teams Ive ever heard mainly because they are unbelievably entertaining and knowledgeable

Chuck that’s about the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard.
Kobe was an is soft?!
First of all, he’s playing with a torn ligament in his finger. 2nd anyone in the league will tell you Kobe is the baddest dude on the planet and No One goes harder than he does.
He wasn’t blaming anyone for losing, he demanded a trade because the front office led him to believe they would get him some help so they could compete and didn’t.
You love kobe’s skill and passion? You’re retarded homie and def not a Kobe fan…
