Nick Wright on where Shai Gilgeous-Alexander stacks up at this moment historically: “There are only four guards that you can say without a doubt, inarguably, undeniably, there is no case to be made against it. Had better careers were better than him. Michael, Magic, Kobe, Steph. Now, in my...

Nick Wright admits Dwyane Wade would’ve won finals MVP in 2011 if the Heat won: “In the finals he averaged 27, 7, 5, and was the best player on the Heat by far. LeBron was not with it that series. We all know the story there… They lose that series, but if the Heat managed to win that series, D Wade would’ve been finals MVP that series on a team with LeBron.” (Via What’s Wright? with Nick Wright)

Nick Wright says personally doesn’t believe SGA is better than Luka Doncic: “I’m not going to say Luka is so much better than Shai. The Thunder would be better off flipping them. I think everything about the team would change. But in the last three years they’ve won one title with Shai. I think if you’re asking me if the last three years Luka was on that team, would have they won at least one title? My answer is yes.” (Via What’s Wright? with Nick Wright)

Isaiah Thomas was on the CNN Podcast All There Is with Anderson Cooper this week. After the tragic passing of his younger sister, Chyna, which happened right before the playoffs, he got a long text from Kobe Bryant. "At the end of the text, he said, ‘If you are going to play, there's no excuses. And you're going to be who you always been.' "Kobe Bryant is my favorite player ever. So to see him reach out to me and say, if you are going to play, you go out there and be who you are, because that's what your sister would want. There was no other way around it. That's what I was doing."

It is two Muhammad Ali's when you talk about Jordan and Bryant." Grant Taylor (B/R 2011): "Players that come to mind are Bill Russell, Wilt Chamberlain, Jerry West, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Magic Johnson, Larry Bird, Michael Jordan.

Nick Wright says sports debates ‘suck’ right now after the negative comments on Bam scoring 83: “This guy scored 83 points and the immediate conversation was ‘was that actually good or not?’ THE GUY SCORED 83 F*CKING POINTS! The first topic was ‘should he have tried? Should Bam have subbed himself out at 80 and said a prayer for Kobe as he walked off.’ WHAT ARE WE DOING? If someone wants to say ‘I was more impressed by Kobe 81 than Bam’s 83’, totally legitimate opinion. But that wasn’t the conversation I saw. The takes were ‘actually this is not good. He shouldn’t have tried to do it’ SHUT UP” (Via What’s Wright? with Nick Wright)

Nick Wright says the Spurs lost the championship on Wednesday night: “LeBron James is not walking through that door. They are not coming back from down 3-1. They are to me about as dead as a team that was down 3-0. And part of that is because I do not think they are better than the Knicks, I know they aren’t more clutch or better at executing down the stretch than the Knicks. And there is no lead the Spurs can get out to where the Knicks in game 5 where the Knicks will be nervous or the Spurs will be comfortable.” (Via What’s Wright? with Nick Wright)

Kendrick Perkins on Isaiah Thomas comments saying if you swap Michael Jordan for KD he wins the same 6 rings: “Fu*k no, the one thing that separates, a big thing that separates Michael Jordan for Kevin Durant is the mentality. Michael Jordan has never come on record and said he’s not a leader, Michael Jordan led the pack. Michael Jordan was first in sprints, Michael Jordan took pride in playing 80 plus games competing on both ends of the floor. Michael Jordan was not that guy, he didn’t run situations people ran to him. So, when you talk about KD, like, to me and I respect Isaiah Thomas but I’m disagreeing with him on this basketball take. He’s lost his damn mind.” (Via Road Trippin’ Show)

Nick Wright says if there’s a Knicks fan right now that wants to argue that Jalen Brunson is the best player in basketball, you have to at least listen to that argument: “He can’t thoroughly outplay the guy that all of us were calling, myself included, two weeks ago, three weeks ago, the best player in the sport. Put up an all-time great close out game in the finals to finish off a finals where points were hard to come by for literally everyone else in the series. And he averaged 32 and a half and not at least be open to the possibility that size profile and draft position and all of that.

Michael Jordan campaigning for Dwyane Wade to win MVP in 2009 over Kobe and LeBron: “I think Dwyane is a phenomenon. If he’s not talked in terms of MVP then they’re not really giving him a fair assessment. No matter what you can say about his team, but if you take him away from his team I’m pretty sure they’d not be as successful. If you take away LeBron and take away Kobe, I’m pretty sure those teams would still be competitive. Not to speak down on his teammates, just to say how much he represents offensively and defensively on that team… This kid each and every day if he not playing they don’t have a chance to win and when he does they can beat anybody on the basketball court” D Wade had a real case for MVP this year.

Magic Johnson says Dwyane Wade is the greatest, most unselfish superstar in NBA history after the Heat won in 2013: Magic: You are now one of the greatest winners and champions, but to me you’re the greatest, most unselfish superstar that’s ever played in this game. How do you decide when you recruit LeBron as the face of the franchise, you’re one of the two best players in the league. You and Kobe were dominating the league at that time. Then you take a step back and say ‘it’s your team.’ how did you do that? Wade: One of the hardest things I had to do. I remember watching the finals in 2010, Lakers vs Celtics. I remember watching Kobe running after the ball for his 5th championship. I said ‘I want that! I want that again!’ I’m a hater because I was mad that he had 5… I knew I’d have to take a step back. It’s not easy but I wanted to win.

Nobody actually thinks that. Nobody thinks that Tatum and Brown with Boston, their careers would be better if they were 1-0 in the finals instead of 1-1. No, like this is the thing that’s fascinating and I’m glad LeBron finally talked about it about this specific argument is nobody actually believes it.

Nick Wright on the lack of relationship between Michael Jordan and LeBron James: “Just my speculation here. I think that Jordan became less and less comfortable with LeBron’s place in the basketball ecosystem as LeBron started getting closer and closer and closer to becoming the people’s choice for greatest player ever. I always felt one of the reasons Jordan embraced Kobe was not only did Kobe model his entire game and at times his persona after Jordan, it was very clear relatively early that Kobe was never going to, like Kobe’s ceiling in the eyes of the majority was going to be second to Jordan. And so Jordan felt comfortable putting his arms around him. There was no threatening of his stature. And it’s not lost on anyone that people had been trying to make the last dance forever. That footage had been around forever and Jordan did not okay it until two days after the 3-1 comeback against the Warriors. The story is that it was the day of the Cavs parade that Jordan finally green lit that. So I think there’s always been a little uncomfortableness, but I think it is very interesting that LeBron is saying, “I hope I made him proud.” (Via What’s Wright? with Nick Wright)

Bruce Bowen on Carter Bryant's moment with Mitch Johnson: "Imma tell you this. So Pop has made this joke with me, he says 'Carter Bryant is so much better than you', and I said 'And he can jump higher too', and Pop fell out laughing at that. But the reality this young man is talented. 19 years old, playing in the Western Conference Finals, trying to be the best he can be each and every time. Is willing to take on that moment of 'you say I'm guarding the top guy? OK, I'm all in'. Now with that, when things don't go well for a 19 year old a lot of times they put even more pressure on themselves. When I spoke to Carter, I said 'Carter man, do you know how many times Pop chewed my tail out on national television? We thought the cameras were off and he was still going!' I said 'It's to make you better', and he had no problem with that. His thing was he wasn't playing well and he wants to play well. I take that from a young man that wants to be the best version of himself." #GoSpursGo #PorVida

Nick Wright on Shai Gilgeous-Alexander being a flopper: “I am not arguing that Shai only does that, Shai is one of the most prolific drivers to the basket. He does very often get actually fouled and still finish. He’s a great player but one of the clubs in his bag that he goes to more often then any other All-Time great player is the just cartoonish flailing about throwing his own self to the ground to get a call. And it’s fu*king maddening. Thunder fans can’t accept winning a championship gets you the championship and the bragging rights and the belt. But it does not get you necessarily love and it times it doesn’t get you much respect think you deserve. And oddly you know the person could have told Thunder fans that? A person that Thunder fans many of them feel exactly that way about his championships former Thunder Kevin Durant.” (Via What’s Wright? with Nick Wright)

"Jordan is the best for this game, but Kobe is the master." Dwyane Wade "To me, Kobe is the best player in history. He comes before Jordan." Shannon Brown "I knew Kobe, but I didn't know him. Played basketball against him. He's the best player ever, and he was almost untouchable." Chris Bosh "How do you not say [Kobe and Jordan] are by far better than anybody who's played the game?" Kevin Durant “I mean, he’s the greatest of all time in life and in basketball." Isaiah Thomas "He's the best, most fundamentaly [sound] player I've ever played against or watched." Steve Smith "[Bryant] could arguably be 1. In some polls, he’ll be 2,” the Nets coach said yesterday about the players he has seen since he entered the NBA in 1988. “He could be 1-A and Jordan can be 1-B or Jordan, some polls they’ll be flipped." Avery Johnson "I would say [MJ] 1 and [Kobe] 1A, just giving MJ a little edge." - Horace Grant "Man, how did Kobe learn everything this dude [MJ] did to a T? And then he made it a little better in some areas.” - Robert Horry “I think he is better than Jordan and I only say that because I felt like everything Jordan did, he did it better.” - Dwight Howard "Kobe Bryant is the most complete basketball player the game has ever seen." - Greg Anthony “I never thought I would say it playing against Michael Jordan for so long but Kobe Bryant at the end of the day...will go down as the greatest basketball player that has ever lived." - Mark Jackson "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.” Kyrie Irving "He pushed me past my limits, and I did the same to him. To me, that's what makes him the greatest." Tony Allen "He's the greatest in my eyes. He is the reason I play today." Klay Thompson

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 🐐
