Greatest PLAYER Ever in the history of NBA!🔥🔥 Dwyane Wade: Jordan is the best for this game, but Kobe is the master. Chris Bosh: I knew Kobe, but I didn't know him. Played basketball against him. He's the best player ever, and he was almost untouchable. Kyrie Irving: When I say [Kobe is] the greatest to play this game, it doesn’t mean I’m knocking anybody else, all right? The greatest to play this game to me! I don’t give a f*** what you talking about. I don’t care about your stats.” Anthony Davis: Kobe and MJ are the two greatest players of all-time. Kevin Durant: Kobe Bryant is the greatest of all time. His skill is second to none. Him and Michael Jordan are neck and neck as far as skill. Dirk Nowitzki: His skill level was unbelievable. There was not one shot he didn’t have in his repertoire. So, to me, in my 20 years, he was probably the best offensive or the best player I’ve seen/faced. Tony Allen: He pushed me past my limits, and I did the same to him. To me, that's what makes him the greatest. Steve Smith NBA: [Kobe] was the most fundamentally sound player that I've seen play. #GregAnthony: Kobe Bryant is the most complete basketball player the game has ever seen. Tony Parker: Maybe the closest to Michael Jordan, who I think is the best ever. #MattBarnes: Jordan is 1, and Kobe is 1B. Jamal Crawford: There's no list I will ever respect if Kobe Bryant isn't top 5. Klay Thompson: He's the greatest in my eyes. He is the reason I play today. Nate Robinson: Kobe, in my opinion, is second to MJ as the most complete player ever. Metta World Peace: There are legends, then there are guys who are in a class of their own. Kobe is in a class of his own. #WaltFrazier: Players see him as the biggest icon in basketball, and he deserves it. Mike knows that. Isaiah Thomas: I'm still a Kobe guy when it comes to the GOAT conversation. #KenyonMartin: [In] my 15 years of playing basketball, Kobe Bryant was the best basketball player in the National Basketball Association." Dwight Howard: "Everything Michael Jordan did, Kobe did better." Kevin Durant: "Kobe is the Greatest of all time. His skill is second to none. Him and Michael Jordan are 1A, 1B as far as skill." Shannon Brown: "Kobe is the best of all time. He comes first before Jordan." Brandon Jennings: "Jordan never win a championship without Pippen. Kobe won 2 without all time great teammates. Kobe is the GOAT."

Mark Cuban says he thought Kyrie Irving was a “team killer” before they traded for him “Honestly, before I did the work, I thought he was a team killer. There was no point, no reason for me to talk to people about him. It was just like, hey, if he doesn't want to play when the Mavs come to town, great. If things don't work out on another team, great” “But when the opportunity to trade for him came, it was like, okay, let's do the work. Nico did the work. Jason Kidd knew him. It was like, ‘Okay, let me talk to folks.’ And when you talk to players, they loved him. Nobody had a bad word to say about Kyrie that ever stepped on the court” “To me, that was all we needed to know. Then from there, all the things you say, ‘What went wrong in Boston? What went wrong in Brooklyn?’ A lot of that is maturity, but a lot of it was circumstances too. How often is COVID going to hit” “What we learned was you just let Kyrie be Kyrie. He's got a heart of gold. He's got a huge heart and he wants to help people. It wasn't a hard decision”

Tim Thomas on playing AAU with Kobe Bryant and Vince Carter: “Those guys came to play with me so I had open arms, you know what I mean and it wasn’t like and y’all know my personality I was never that kind of guy with the ego. So, I was just excited because again we meet at five star. I was seeing what he was doing at five star. We heard about Kobe but never got a chance to see him because he came over late. And with Kobe, because he was in my class. I wanted to see where he was at, right? And then obviously he was right behind him as the number, you know, two or one shooting guards the next year in that class. So, we wanted to see, you what I mean? He was super, super confident. Like extreme confidence.” (Via Cousins with Vince Carter & Tracy McGrady)

Dwyane Wade heartfelt message on the passing of Kobe Bryant six years ago today: “Today is one of the saddest days in my lifetime. It seems like a bad dream. It’s a nightmare. He’s a great leader, a great person, a great champion. If you got a chance to know Kobe there’s not nobody better, man… We have so many moments that he’s given us. I’m so thankful for those moments. He was one of my favorite players. I got the chance to have a relationship/friendship. I’m going to miss him. I said it many times, when Kobe retired from the game of basketball, he left a hole in the game of basketball. He left a hole in my ‘want’ to play. When I came in the league I chased him. That’s who I chased. I wanted to be respected by him. Once I reached that level I knew I did something. Kobe, thank you man… Well forever miss you man. You’re our legend, our icon, a father, a husband, son, a brother, a friend. Thank you for being my friend. I love you brother” R.I.P. Kobe Bean Bryant 🙏 🐍

"'Bron was crushed. Kyrie is a killer, so he wanted to show, kind of like Kobe did with Shaq, I can win without 'Bron. That was his goal and that's what he wanted to do. I don't think it was no ill will against 'Bron. ... We had a chance to win 2 or 3." - Ty Lue

Klay Thompson on Kobe Bryant: “Kobe was one of the most intelligent athletes to ever grace this earth…My memories of Kobe are very fond…That’s the first thing I told Luka when we met. I was like man I knew you were gonna be special because he brought Kobe out of the house to go watch him play. Kobe doesn’t just give that love to those who don’t earn it…I think about him and Gigi every day…”

KD on seeing Kobe score 81 points: "This is the greatest player I ever seen."🐐 "[Kobe] strived so hard to be Michael Jordan. When I go back and I look at his videos and I say to myself, ‘Damn he was better than Michael Jordan.’” - Scottie Pippen Phil Jackson : Kobe Is More Skilled Than Jordan. Greatest PLAYER Ever in the history of NBA!🔥🔥 Dwyane Wade: Jordan is the best for this game, but Kobe is the master. Chris Bosh: I knew Kobe, but I didn't know him. Played basketball against him. He's the best player ever, and he was almost untouchable. Kyrie Irving: When I say [Kobe is] the greatest to play this game, it doesn’t mean I’m knocking anybody else, all right? The greatest to play this game to me! I don’t give a f*** what you talking about. I don’t care about your stats.” Anthony Davis: Kobe and MJ are the two greatest players of all-time. Kevin Durant: Kobe Bryant is the greatest of all time. His skill is second to none. Him and Michael Jordan are neck and neck as far as skill. Dirk Nowitzki: His skill level was unbelievable. There was not one shot he didn’t have in his repertoire. So, to me, in my 20 years, he was probably the best offensive or the best player I’ve seen/faced. Tony Allen: He pushed me past my limits, and I did the same to him. To me, that's what makes him the greatest. Steve Smith NBA: [Kobe] was the most fundamentally sound player that I've seen play. #GregAnthony: Kobe Bryant is the most complete basketball player the game has ever seen. Tony Parker: Maybe the closest to Michael Jordan, who I think is the best ever. #MattBarnes: Jordan is 1, and Kobe is 1B. Jamal Crawford: There's no list I will ever respect if Kobe Bryant isn't top 5. Klay Thompson: He's the greatest in my eyes. He is the reason I play today. Nate Robinson: Kobe, in my opinion, is second to MJ as the most complete player ever. Metta World Peace: There are legends, then there are guys who are in a class of their own. Kobe is in a class of his own. #WaltFrazier: Players see him as the biggest icon in basketball, and he deserves it. Mike knows that. Isaiah Thomas: I'm still a Kobe guy when it comes to the GOAT conversation. #KenyonMartin: [In] my 15 years of playing basketball, Kobe Bryant was the best basketball player in the National Basketball Association." Dwight Howard: "Everything Michael Jordan did, Kobe did better." Kevin Durant: "Kobe is the Greatest of all time. His skill is second to none. Him and Michael Jordan are 1A, 1B as far as skill." Shannon Brown: "Kobe is the best of all time. He comes first before Jordan." Brandon Jennings: "Jordan never win a championship without Pippen. Kobe won 2 without all time great teammates. Kobe is the GOAT."If you want stats, look for LeBron. If you want rings, look for Russell. If you want MVPs, look for Kareem. If you want records, look for Wilt. If you want impact, look for Steph. If you want dominance in a position, look for Shaq. If you want perimeter defense, find Gary Payton. If you want athletics, find Kemp, Giannis or Malone. If you want greatness, look for Bird or Magic. If you want exquisite dunks, look for Carter, Dr. J or Wilkins. If you want a good Trash Talker, look for Garnett. If you want influence, look for Iverson. If you want remarkable scoring skills, look for Durant. If you want competitiveness, look for Michael. If you want Impavidez at Clutch moment, look for Michael again. Now, if you want a good slice of all that fit to a single player, then look for Kobe Bryant 🐐 #MambaForever #mambamentality 🐐
