"The bet between the Nets' Wallace and Kobe, what's the story behind it? We need to go back to the 2012-13 season. At that time, the Lakers had assembled a luxurious F4 lineup consisting of Kobe, Howard, Gasol, and World Peace, but due to age and coordination issues, they had a poor start to the season. The game against the Nets was no exception, and the Lakers struggled until the final moments. With just 4.8 seconds left in the game, the Lakers were leading by only 92-90. The Nets had no choice but to resort to fouling tactics to send Kobe to the free-throw line.
In order to prevent Kobe from running down the clock, the Nets had to foul Kobe, giving him two free-throw opportunities. If Kobe made one of the two, the Nets would have a chance to tie the game. After Kobe confidently made the first free throw, the Nets' Wallace started trash-talking to disrupt Kobe. Fortunately, Kobe was not deterred by this and even proposed a $500,000 free-throw bet against Wallace, leaving Wallace speechless. In the end, Kobe didn't forget to tease Wallace, saying, 'Buddy, go borrow some money to gamble with me. Have you had too much to drink?'
I think it's really satisfying! Engaging in a free-throw bet with Kobe, who has a career free-throw percentage of 80%, is undoubtedly a losing proposition. If Wallace had agreed, it would have been a big mistake! Fortunately, Wallace had the self-awareness not to accept, avoiding a scenario where he would lose $500,000 in a single shot, which would be both embarrassing and heartbreaking. So, when faced with these clearly losing bets, it's better not to participate. Even if you happen to lose, it's okay because you can go to LeTou to claim NBA rescue funds to help stop the bleeding in your pocket." |
