It’s insulting that Kobe was ever allowed to wear 24. He should’ve known that Legerald Vick was going to come along eventually and refrained from wearing it out of respect for the GOAT.

I’m certain it is fools gold. This won’t last. Self knows it too. There are reasons Self didn’t want a junior starter back for his senior year.
I’m going to enjoy the ride to the bottom though. [Reply]

He never had a game like this.
Not to mention they've been talking throughout the offseason about how much his shot had improved. Started to see it at the end of last season. [Reply]

This is true, but there is reason to suspect something different. In the past, Vick was reliant on others setting him up. Tonight, Vick was a leader. He moved without the ball, he never forced anything. He attacked the rim when it was there. He went after rebounds and played defense.
If it was just a case of him being set up for wide open threes, I would be less optimistic. [Reply]
