I went to Upper Darby High School which is right up the street from Lower Merion. I graduated from H.S. the same year as Kobe. We played Kobe several times. I remember him tearing up the floor for 46 points in one game. He made it look easy. Dude was kissing the rim as a freshman. SMH looking back and understanding what I saw in those days was comparable to watching Jordan in college. Kobe was so far ahead of any athletes I saw. It was a blessing to experience that. Rest Easy Kobe.

I’m surprised you ain’t got a bunch of people hatin and calling you a liar but that’s a dope lil story bruh you got to witness a YOUNG Kob tearin shit up and showin the world he was ready for the pros, ready to test his skill against the GOAT and last but not least ready to see if he had the grit, the drive and the ability to go toe to toe against full grown men while he was still in a boys body

@@JohnnyDanger0us I was thinking the same after writing that comment. It doesn't matter what other people think. I know it was the truth and it was an awesome experience. I remember hearing about this kid from Lower Merion that can ball like crazy my freshman year. Then the hype train followed. Kobe taking Brandi to the Prom and my Dad telling me about Kobe's pops. How he played for the Sixers. Kobe getting drafted from High School which is an amazing accomplishment by itself.

Can he hit freethrows and win games for his team at the line? Plus bro Kobe didn't flop or travel. It takes much more skill to move and score when they actually called it. And lastly Kobe was way better with the ball, didn't turn it over 5 to 10 times a game and was an excellent passer when he wanted to be. And no way in hell would any team hold this man to zero 4th quarter and overtime in any game let alone the fucking finals. No Bron has and never will be as great as Kobe.

Well there's a lot of reasons as to why this happened. Players today are not as driven and hungry as they were back in the day. So even when lbj and brady were past their primes they were still beating on these social media addicted generation that probably has lower testosterone and competitiveness. The other factor is the way the rules changed in football where you couldn't hit the QB, no major injuries. LeBron the game cjanged where defense isn't even played anymore and 3 pt shooting has helped make the game less taxing compared to the grind it used to be of having to attack and explode every play.
