Rob’s alive people
Finally
yessss
Hopefully he can get some minutes tonight
Hopefully he actually gets to play and get a chance to prove that he can possibly stick
Kobe finna save us. LFG
Kobe doing work
Finally revenge game tonight
Kobe!
Gonna be a little nostalgic hearing Kobe’s name on the mic at Staples after all these years

Make me cum

Rob decided to get out of bed this morning 👍
Don’t know anything about him but is he another 6’4 dude, cause Pelinka doesn’t know nba players can be taller.
Holy fuck man finally
Kobe and Lebron finally in the same team.
スミスに近い感じか?
Great. Another offensive specialist that might go off once a month…
But good for him. Always cool to see a G-League player get his shot at the highest level.
I hope he balls out so we can have a rotation piece
We need something. Not much but at least a change

Bust out the Kobe chants
80 bomb incoming
Took long enough
This sub has been screaming for him. Please don’t act like fucking weirdos when yall finally see the difference between the g league and the pros lol. Give him grace, and time please. Hopefully he does well, if not, I’m not going to be surprised.
This notification came to me as “Lakers sign guard Kobe B…”.
Had me in the first half, not gonna lie.
Put Dalton in Gleague.
that probably means that lebron and luka are out for tonight
bufkin and nick smith carry job to beat the hawks would be hilarious tho
This is the move that’s gonna win us multiple championships
Imagine if this young fella fucked around and accidentally scored 81.
Can’t wait to see my starters of rui, Gabe, laravia Anton, smart.
