Under Armour probably pressured him to prop up Kobe. He still had to mention Bird, whom he claims to model his game after.

Close, but putting Kobe on there makes the list more or less trash. Especially since he has Jordon on there, why would you want Jordan Lite when you have the real thing.
What language is this?
He's a hater, leaving Kawhi off his team.
MJ is not a SF; and in fact whenever he tried to guard great SF's like Bird, he got eaten alive.
What does he say? Well I'm not mad?
Why would Under Armour pressure him to prop up Kobe? Both KD and Kobe are with Nike. What has UA got to do with his selections?
Okay, I read something like this about a year ago:

I guess Nike matched.
Well, either way they are getting paid handsomely to perpetuate their brand. There would have been repercussions for KD had he left Kobe off the list.
this. KD ain't stupid. He knows the diffrents between a legend and system player. Calls it like he sees it.
Yeah I think he was definitely pressured to add Kobe. Kobe there instead of LeBron, Bird, or even himself or Scottie Pippen simply makes the team worse.
Kobe's not good enough at non-scoring things to make him worth it. Not a sharpshooter either and often coasts on D, not to mention he isn't an amazing playmaker.
Give me Bird or LeBron over him 10/10 times tbh. Kobe is redundant on that team imo.
Bird was so overrated. LeBron all the way. LeBron vs Bird would be like an NBA guy going up against a high school kid.
Who didn't get eaten alive trying to guard Larry Legend?
You're out of your mind. Pretty sure no NBA player today feels that way, not even Lebron.
that's a surprise because you know he hates giving the Spurs love
yeah, you can't really play MJ and Kobe together, unless you're not playing a PG. Must have Bird/Lebron
Agreed. But Bird consistently made Jordan look like a nat.
and more than half of those occurred after Larry's back injury...
Dude you don't know NBA history at all.
finally a good starting 5 all time..
lebron is garbage and has been outshone by cp3, kobe and anthony in all olympic teams.
imagine him dribbling the ball for 20 seconds and ignoring kobe, mj and shaq on that team.
the superstar with less "fear factor" i ever had going against.. even westbrook scared me more
