Jaylen Brown & Kyrie Irving have a sit-down & reveal almost getting into a SERIOUS FIGHT during practice while they were teammates on the Boston Celtics 😳 JB: “What’s crazy is, we almost FOUGHT one time” Kyrie: “I know” 👀 JB: “I haven’t heard from Kyrie, i didn’t know what was going on, we was in Boston, I haven’t heard his voice in like 2 weeks” Kyrie: “I definitely used to go silent, I didn’t know how to express myself” JB: “You decided you needed to have a heart to heart with everybody” JB: “You confronted me, I was standing under the basket & you pointed at my face & was like ‘I know who YOU ARE! ”. 🫵🏽 Also JB: “I’m like, that’s GREAT! I know who I am too, Kyrie’s like, No you don’t! ”. Kyrie: “It was an overflow of emotion that I was dealing with, bro I told you I lost my Grandfather that year, I was supposed to Sign back for 5 years(w/ Celtics), I announced it, then my Grandfather passed a week later. After I left the team to go to his funeral, I didn’t take ANY time off & went straight into the game. “It was ME, as a man I came at yall CRAZY,” -Kyrie taking accountability & blames himself for his outburst on JB in practice JB speaks on respecting his intense practice battles w/ Kyrie because it proves Kyrie is real. He prefers this raw honesty over the hidden agendas and politics of the NBA.

Dwyane Wade speaks on Kobe Bryant one leg bank in buzzer beater on him in 2009. D Wade is still pissed about it 😭 Wade: He moved UD like a little curtain. Then after that, Kobe just did Kobe. I was so hot. I was so mad at myself and Ud. It was our responsibility to make sure that KOBE DID NOT GET THE BALL! Anybody else John. He did UD like this (blows on pen) move out the way UD: Very few times I just get out dogged. I felt like that one time he wanted it more than me.

Mike Brown says the best thing about Kobe Bryant was his bluntness “There were a lot of coaches that coached Kobe, around Kobe, that had a hard time because Kobe was blunt. Kobe’s going to look you in the eye and tell you what he wants to tell you.” “For me, I liked that because I felt I always knew where I stood. You never have to assume anything. If he didn’t like it, he was going to tell you. So that was, for me, the best part about him.” “Now you throw in his competitiveness and all this other stuff, and it was great. The thing that was tough was because he had won championships with Phil, and he won them a certain way.” “It was hard as a young coach to say, ‘Hey, Kobe, let’s do it this way, new style.’ He wasn’t having it. And I don’t blame him because I’d probably be the same way too if I experienced five championships doing it a certain way.”

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 🙏 🐍

This is about him, the man." The reality is Kyrie Irving, no matter what we think, may have been MORE RIGHT than we have given him credit for and unquestionably was more vilified than he deserved." “It turns out that, no matter what the truth is behind all of this, Kyrie Irving did nobody wrong. We did him wrong." “I did him wrong. And for that, I’m sincerely sorry.”

But he was one of the people, if not one of the main proprietors. The apology is never as loud as the vindication… Shoutout to Kyrie Irving. Sending love, respect, & blessings to him.”

Vince Carter says Kobe Bryant helped him accept retirement in their final conversation “My last year, I did announce that it was my last year. I didn't announce that I was retiring because I struggled with the word ‘retiring’” “We played the Nets in Brooklyn. Kobe and Gigi were at that game. To see him and the smile on his face, the hug, the conversation we had was unbelievable. And I asked him about that word. ‘How is it?’” “He said, ‘Man, it's the greatest thing ever. It's the best feeling. You're going to enjoy it. This side is not that bad because I get a chance now to coach my daughter, be there for her,’ so on and so forth” “I'm like, if Kobe Bryant, who we all know him to be an a-hole and a degenerate of this game, can say that to me, I can say, ‘I'm retiring.’ From that day forward, he, in that conversation, gave me the opportunity” “Lo and behold, the last thing we talked about, he said, ‘Hey, we'll get together and have a conversation about it. We'll talk more about it.’ In January, he passed. It was a couple of weeks later, which was on my birthday”
