Gilbert Arenas says players rank Kobe Bryant so highly because they judge greatness by skill, not just stats or physical gifts.
“Players don’t go by your stats or accolades. We go by how you played and what your attributes were.”
“Most of the greatest players had God-given physical gifts. Jordan had the vertical and big hands. LeBron had the body. Shaq was Shaq. Magic was a 6’9” point guard.”
“Kobe was just a standard 6’6” guard. He didn’t have big hands, he wasn’t the quickest or fastest, and his athleticism was normal.”
“What he did with that body was like taking an S500 and driving it like a Bugatti.”
“That’s what we look at. We look at the normal person fighting gods.”
@Collegeekidd you ever see Mike and Kobe set up their iphone and film themselves doing goofy workouts at age 41 and post it on social media for clout?
no they locked themselves in a gym and were grinding to win a chip
Bron’s corny
and these new gen athletes defend this nonsense
