@RemusCap @LegionHoops@Money23Green Kobe is not Bam. If 24 thought that, he would be truly selfish, he already had that ball hog label. Bam is a defensive glue guy, ofc hes going to go for the record. he knows he likely won't get another chance bc that's not his game. Kobe regularly took enough shots to do so
Erik Spoelstra still standing on not caring what anybody has to say about Bam’s historic night:
“Most of the people that made comments didn’t even watch the game. That’s unethical.”
LeBron James on his time with the Heat:
“I knew I wanted to win championships, but it took me to go to Miami to learn myself.
You gotta have a strong mindset. I had a strong mindset. I don’t recommend anybody going to Miami at 25.”

Kevin Durant on Erik Spoelstra during the Olympics:
“I’ve always been impressed with coach Spo from afar. But to be in the same locker room with him, to see his intensity. His scouts were just like, made me want to run through a wall.
You don’t get to see a lot of these head coaches in the assistant coach role where they’re on the floor developing guys every day, rebounding, just doing the dirty work. And Spo was great at that. And he made it exciting to come into work every day.”

@FinzTalkzTv@LeBatardShow I'm team Spo, but we're a mid team, play Ware to develop him and then you can show him all his flaws in the film room after you handfed him, and now there are no excuses. Not playing him but then being so critical of him is a tough position for a player to understand & learn
@jdylanmoro@AlainLamour91@HeatCulture13 I hear you but my point is they were already THE guy on their previous teams. Nothing Golden State did made them better, if you want to argue you bought them to buy in then that's different.
It's not hard to play on one of the best teams of all time, you just need to buy in..
