Kobe Bryant can identify with Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook

[Sportcamper]

OKLAHOMA CITY — Kobe Bryant is all too familiar with these Oklahoma City guys. They remind him a lot of himself. They can shrug off almost everything and keep on going, he said.

"Not too many players have had that," according to Bryant. "Michael [Jordan] had it. I have it. Durant has it. Westbrook has it. They just don't care about pressure situations or criticism or whatever. It's rare."
Bryant even knew where Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook learned to cop an attitude.

"For sure. They watched me growing up," he said. "They saw how I dealt with criticism and all this other stuff and just put my head down and kept playing. ... They're cut from the same cloth."

All I got from your post is that Kobe is the greatest mimic in NBA history and that you are a faggot. Good job.

I'm not a big fan of Bryant but he will surpass MJ in every category by the time he retires. No question about it.

What's funny is that KD has said Vince Carter was his favorite player growing up, not Kobe :lmao

:lol "They watched me play growing up, me me me, all about me"

[Clipper Nation]

"For sure. They watched me growing up," he said. "They saw how I dealt with criticism and all this other stuff and just put my head down and kept playing. ... They're cut from the same cloth."

:lmao

I don't see KD or Westbrick blaming teammates, faking illness, and snitching on each other.....

[The Batman]

:lol MJ averaged 30 eight different times. Kobe 3. And look at the FG percentages :rollin

[Malik Hairston]

:lol as Clipper Nation said, Durant's favorite player growing up was/is Vince Carter, and he patterned his game by watching Tracy McGrady and Larry Bird..The media will fabricate a story about Durant idolizing Kobe, considering they are playing against each other tonight, tbh..

[Clipper Nation]

:lol Kobe hedging his bets for his own team by trying to take credit for KD and Westbrick

I can see it now... :cry "Mitch, trade me to the Thunder, I need to tutor my proteges some more" :cry

The biggest flaw in your argument is that MJ didn't have to share the ball Period...let alone with Shaq. If you wanna know how much better Kobe would have been than MJ just add Shaqs stats to Kobe's since all Shaq did was take away from Kobes stats....

MJ had it easy.

[timvp]

I don't remember Durant or Westchuck demanding a trade to the Lakers to essentially press the Easy button on his career and ensure a star-studded supporting cast.

[Clipper Nation]

What's funny is that LeBron's more like Bird than Durant is, imho....

Bird and LBJ are/were skilled passing forwards, solid defenders, solid handles, LeBron's just more athletic than Bird was.....

nah Stacey, bird was crafty n had possibly the highest bball iq of all time. they opposites if anything, bird outsmart defenders while Lebron just out-monkey them

[Clipper Nation]

LeBron has an underrated basketball IQ, though.... from SI:


Peers often describe James as "a beast," and even though they mean to flatter him, the label dismisses the depths to which he comprehends the game. He can deconstruct the top eight players on every NBA team and many college teams. He can run every set in the Heat playbook from all five positions. In film sessions he sometimes completes Spoelstra's sentences, and at the Olympics, many of Team USA's defensive strategies were suggestions from James in practice. "He's not smart," says Krzyzewski. "He's brilliant. And I don't like to use that word."


When James is grabbing a rare rest on the Heat bench, he usually sits next to second-year guard Terrel Harris, narrating the action so a young player can see the game through his eyes. During a mid-November- game in Denver, Ray Allen was dribbling upcourt and Rashard Lewis was streaking down the left side. James inched forward in his seat and started yelling, "Rashard, it's coming to you! Get ready to shoot!" Allen raced around a pick-and-roll with Bosh and threw the ball to the corner, where an expectant Lewis caught it and drilled the three-pointer. "How did you know that was going to happen?" Harris asked.

The standard scouting report given to Heat players before games is two pages. The one James receives is four, filled with the kind of advanced stats reserved for coaches, bloggers and Shane Battier. "I want to know that this guy drives left 70% of the time, or pulls up when he drives right, or likes to cross over after two dribbles," James says. Even when he is with friends, he'll geek out in the middle of casual conversation: "Remember when I drove and kicked to Ray at the four-minute mark in the second quarter. If he'd have drifted into the corner, we'd have had a better shot." Then, after a pause: "So what are you guys getting into tonight?"

[rayjayjohnson]

Koolaid really means MJ didn't get to coattail off a better player/

Can't be serious, Kobe must be trolling.

[UZER]

Kobe taking credit for another teams superstars...but wont take responsibility for his own teammates.That quote seems fake btw. He can't be that narcissistic.

He is. google Narcissistic Personality Disorder or Sociopath. His sense of entitlement is that more warped than anyone I can remember.

[KaiRMD1]

The fact that Kobe wants to be the next Jordan already shows who is better. Who did Jordan want to be the second coming of?

[Clipper Nation]

Who did Jordan want to be the second coming of?
Julius Erving...

Actually asshole, it was Shaq's team. We saw what Kobe would have been those couple of years he didn't have a dominant big man to coattail. Never even made his teammates better unlike MJ. Bean = a glorified McGrady.

[Latarian Milton]

kobe just a glorified ben gorden tbh, guys even look similar

[ambchang]

Julius Erving...

Wasn't it David Thompson?
