Kevin Porter Jr. says he’s on a mission to beat Bam’s 83-point record out of respect for Kobe: “Now that Kobe got beat, I gotta beat Bam just for the respect of Kobe.”
HAHAHAHAHA
Listen. If Bam said “Imma go for Kobe’s 81” a few weeks ago, I would’ve laughed then too.
All I can think of is:
“What 81 you talking bout”
“Kobe’s 81!”
“Boooy, it’s out the mud we got Rashad McCants”
Tony Allen stays elite on defense
Year 2038:
“What 83 you talking about?”
“Bam’s 83”
“Boy it’s out the mud we got Killian Hayes”
“That was easy.”
But Bam is an amazing player
Right, but he’s not an amazing scorer
Higher ppg than KPJ, who can’t even stay on the floor consistently
There is a large gap between “better than KPJ” and “elite scorer”
Elite bam bam
Amazing player that’s only ever scored above 40 once before that game. Bam is primarily a defender with good interior scoring, no one in their right mind would have ever even suggested that bam could score 60, much less 83!
KPJ’s career high is 50. Bam’s was 41.
So KPJ should have no problem right?
and also Jrue was guarding KPJ
Following this pattern, Porter should score 92
Still would’ve got laughed at. It’s still pretty laughable
Not scoring amazing lol.
He’s not known to be an elite scorer, and wasn’t even averaging 20 PPG until his 83 point game.
That would’ve been Tatum
I think what’s funnier than him saying he’s gonna do it is somehow doing it out of respect for Kobe? Like what makes you beating the record more respectful??
Kobe stans logic boils down to Bam not being “great” enough to beat Kobe’s 81 pts (some of them even said that they would have less of a issue with someone like Giannis, Jokic or Curry beating it) so I guess that KPJ’s implying that he is great enough player where it would be “respectful” to Kobe if he were the one to hold Kobe’s “record” of being the 2nd highest scorer.
I’m a Kobe fan (my favorite player) but Kobe stabs getting upset at Bam is ridiculous. The thought never even crossed my mind when it happened.
The idea is that he’ll surpass Bam’s 83 to claim the title and then relinquish it so that Kobe’s 81 has the top claim again (after Wilt’s 100, of course). It all makes perfect sense.
You know, out of respect to Kobe.
You kinda mentioned it, but it’s kinda funny how people are all upset about bam beating Kobe’s record when Kobe didn’t even have the record in the first place
Lamelo is going to score 109 off of one leg threes. Stephen a may have a heart attack on live television. Jason Tatum performs seppuku on webcam.

There’s a thing called manifestation.

HAHAHAHAHAHA
Boy, this the out the mud podcast….
Thought KPJ already did some beating out of respect for Kobe?
Holy shit
Outjerked
Stopped at the beating out of respect for Kobe
BREAKING NEWS: Bam Adebayo facing rape charges of TWO women in Eagle, Colorado
Bam “died in a worse helicopter crash” was a fucking diabolical headline from the Onion.
Mamba mentality
Oof.
HAHAHAHA
Bruh
Lmfao the lakers flairs ain’t gonna like this one
Ugh fine you win
Beating out and beating it out
oh wow
[ Removed by Reddit ]
You beat me to it
if people were calling it disrespectful for bam to pass kobe then kevin porter jr doing it would be like a war crime.
Exactly. Pro athletes have said some things that lack a lot of self awareness, but this might be the worst one I’ve seen. “For the respect of Kobe” as if it wouldn’t just make Kobe’s 81 less meaningful
This whole debate is goofy as hell. Can’t we just be happy for Bam for doing it? Can’t we also just appreciate a legendary performance even if it’s not by someone who will go down as a legend? I’d argue it makes it even better. It’d one thing if it fit the narrative but it doesn’t.
No, we’re nostalgia poisoned.
the funny thing is if he beats bam’s 83 he just pushes kobe to 4th. ppl might not care too much about 3rd in 100 years but they really woudnt care about 4th lmao
literally the point i’m making but some ppl dumb as hell. also ppl are mad bc they see bam as a bum but kpj is even more of a bum 😭
Kony 2012.
Porter 2026.
It’s disrespectful to pass a non-record holder?
To morons, yes
Lol right?
He should be blackballed from the league for this corny ass statement
i mean there might be another reason for him to be blackballed…
Funny thing is, Kobe would have told Bam to beat his record and go for Wilt
He’s only been using 10% of his powers (out of respect for Kobe of course) now that Bam’s disrespectful ass carelessly passed Kobe. It’s open season
People saying it’s disrespectful for someone to pass a record are brain dead.
I hate this team
As soon as Jimmy Haslam became part of the ownership your team became cursed. Sorry to say its permanent
I didn’t know this. RIP Bucks.
Edit: The James Jimmy Haslam effect already inbound???
Truly a dark day as a Bucks fan.
I am genuinely sorry for the demise of your basketball team’s present and future.
Haslem and then Rivers screwed us. At least we won something in 2021 though! And for that I will be forever grateful!
You really can’t even blame rivers. He is who everyone thought he was.
You can absolutely blame haslem for installing his hand selected bum coach after firing someone who was 30-13. I don’t want to hear shit about how awful griffin was when glenn has been 100 times worse
Glenn goes from team to team destroying them and moving on to the next one.
I really don’t mind this
Y’all clowning on him but he has a lot of experience in beating people
I just want to know what KPJ beating Bam’s record would do for Kobe.
As far as I can tell, all that would mean for Kobe is another player beating 81…
It would put Kobe at 4th, making it “Wilt, KPJ, Bam” making Kobe even more of an afterthought. Not to mention completely siphon all meaning from the top records
huh, a 3 syllable completely ruins that line. i think we should make a rule where only single or double syllable names should be allowed to get higher than 80
It would go back to being a “guard” or “shooting” thing. Not a record held by centers. My guess at least.
The #1 guy is a center, though. Why is this something Kobe would care about?
It wouldn’t have been. Grown men are just obsessed with him in the weirdest way.
i mean bam’s 83 was scored in a “guard/shooting” way. tons of self creation and taking guys off the dribble
it wasnt like he just did it off dump offs or pnr alleyoops like most traditional center pts
He’d still be behind Wilt.
Kobe recording being beaten by Bam just means Bam had one really good game, if Kobe gets beaten by KPJ too, Kobe record just sucked.
Kobe is looking up right now Kevin for saying that
He’ll welcome KPJ with open arms some day.
live rapist reaction
Kevin Porter Jr. has already been up to some women respecting activities in the last few years.
Kobe’s reaction to being in conversations with players the likes of Bam Adebayo and Kevin Porter Jr.
This is probably actually his reaction: https://giphy.com/gifs/genius-albums-11qCjC856PSmnm
KPJ getting 84 or more would be even more disrespectful to Kobe.
He would do it on 75 shots
What would be really funny is if he got 82 and couldn’t get the last two points.
This would be poetic justice.
not even 10am where i am and i’ve already seen the dumbest shit of the week.
its been like this everyday for the past 429 days my man
I can literally just gesture towards any tv playing news right now and top this
Where are you?
West coast US was just about/before 10am at time he posted
kobe would think these guys are dorks, do they not realize that?
also any team that allows KPJ to score 85, u should genuinely get relocated to New Mexico
These mfers preach Mamba Mentality but hate it when someone surpasses Kobe in something.
Total contradicting weirdos
Where should a team that allows Bam Adebayo to score 83 get relocated to?
Somewhere that used to be a swamp, like Washington DC. Oh, wait…
uh… good luck I guess
Yeah gotta get that #2 spot back in the hands of someone who assaults women
He meant in 2k right?
Dude had a 50 point game once like 5 years ago and thinks he can even come close to that level now? I respect his self-confidence.
Wasn’t bams career high 40 something before he got 80?
Would Doc ever let the ball be in KPJ’s hands that much?
Well that would be really stupid. So maybe?
You think that lame duck is still coaching? He stands on the sidelines and talks, sure, but he checked out a third of the way into this season
To be fair if you told me one of Bam or Kevin Porter Jr broke a scoring record I would pick Kevin lmao
How many times had Bam scored 50 before his 83 pt game?
He wants a felon to retake it
He’s got it in the bag… in the g league.
OUTJERKED BY KPJ
Let’s just have Steph get 101 and call it a day.
For his last ever game, he should get the green light to attempt 30 3s and shoot at least 50 times like Kobe did.
30 threes might be low 😅
Calling it now his last game he breaks the record on a ridiculous amount of shots
Would love to see it, nothing quite like a Curry flurry.
If Bam’s 83-point game was a woman, I’m sure that KPJ would beat it
Well out of respect for Bam, I’ll have to beat KPJs record
I swear Kobe fans legit worship him. They are all weird as hell
Maybe in China
Yeah no one’s ever scored 82 or higher only because they respected Kobe so much lmao
Not a record, Wilt exists.
This is up there with OJ vowing to find the real killers
Its seriously weird the deifying Kobe gets. Like it kinda makes sense in combo with remembering professional athletes are fucking stupid and that Kobe died fairly young. But like… he was a self important asshole to 90% of his teammates and he raped a woman.
Genuinely makes me not like the nba as much when every team seemingly has an obsessed kobe stan
Something something wife beater
At least he’s acknowledged that the legacy has changed ownership. Better than most Kobe fans. Getting sober and admitting Bam is greater than Kobe in all ways (except rings) is the next step in seeing reality for what it is.
Regardless of how immediately laughable this is, I also think it’s pathetic that a dude wants to break a record for another dude. Like seriously have some fucking dignity
Out of respect for a rapist
Bro gonna get humbled
He is known for being a beater, but I don’t think he’ll be able to beat Bam’s record
“im on a mission to be 2nd best”
is a weird af mentality
Kobe was in second Jesus Christ.
If Bam is considered a casual for a guy scoring 83, what does that make Kevin Porter Jr.?
Better to beat a scoring record than women I suppose
People really get in their feelings about Kobe
So he will ‘respect’ Kobe by pushing him to 4th on the single-game record list?
Dafuq?
I wonder if he also strangled that poor woman out of respect for Kobe?
Known abuser simping for another shot chucking abuser
Pelinka might trade for this guy for saying this
Ew
I don’t think he should be talking about beating anyone…
He’ll be Lucky to play that many more games
He wants to score more than 83 yet somehow less than 81, I say we let him cook
Cringe as hell
I feel like 20% of the nba could score 80+ if that was their and the teams Only goal from the start of the game
I’m fully down for the rest of the season being KPJ just trying for 84
Always remember that a lot of these guys are quite dumb.
Rapist capist.
The Kobe worshipping is so cringe man
It’s out the mud we got KPJ😂😂😂
Dudes are so weird over Kobe 😒
This is ridiculous
thought this was r/nbacirclejerk
I guess it’s just fuck Wilt from here on out huh? Is anyone else so widely regarded for being second best at something, like Kobe is for the 81?
I’d rather him try to beat a scoring record than a person honestly so good luck to him I guess
what about Kobe’s record in Colorado
Focus on actually winning a couple games first big dog…
Who he play for
At least Bam has been to the finals twice, it’s not like he’s a career bum. He’s the last star I’d have expected, but why be mad an all star scored a lot?
When asked for comment Kobe Bryant said: “AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH IT’S SO HOT!!! PLEASE STOP! AHHHHHHHHHH! IT HURTS!!!”
If he’s serious it explains his entire career.
saying it would be more respectful for you to have the record than bam is insanely disrespectful to bam LMAO
Out of respect to Kobe, he’ll push Kobe to 4th place?
I was in high school during the peak dick riding and slurping of MJ.
While there was no social media back then. I’m telling you all for the record…
#This Kobe dick riding is approaching how bad that MJ slurping was
##GetOffKobeDick!!
Good luck with that, pal. lol
Its not a record to begin with
Once KPJ beats Bam out of respect for Kobe it’ll only be right for me to lace em up and beat KPJ out of respect for Kobe… and Bam!
Did he text Kobe’s phone saying he’s got him?
Tbh him and Kobe do have a couple things in common
Didn’t he already beat a woman for Kobe?
I am also on the same mission.
LOL
This ain’t the only thing he’s thinking about beating
<niggawhat.gif>
Respect or glaze?
Kevin just focus on not beating your, nvm
Do it.
Worst guy to be saying all that
Kobe laughing
I’ll take the under
Wife beater says what?
He’ll get right on it once he’s done strangling his girlfriend
Makes zero sense
I can’t wait to comment that kpj should’ve stopped at 83 out of respect for BAM
He got a better chance of beating his gf again then he does beating Bams 83
Lol. Lmao even
To push Kobe to 4th? What kind of logic is this?
Jayson Tatum what are you doing here???
Real loser shit right there
Who
Who does he think he is. Mf just got back in the NBA. Ain’t no guarantee he’ll be in the NBA next season. Mf gonna drop 83 against the Shanghai sharks
Arenas needs to hire him for his podcast.
For how our season has been going? Why not, at this point
Ninja what?
Whooo?
