Alex Volkanovksi explains why he believes Ilia Topuria would beat Justin Gaethje in a rematch:

"Ilia will learn a lot from that. I think Ilia wins the rematch, and that's no knock on Justin at all.

Ilia was the favorite for a reason. If he doesn't rush as much, fights at a little better distance, and does what he usually does—setting nice traps—he'll eventually find him.

Being so aggressive is sort of what cost him, I believe.

That's what's so good about the story, though, for Justin Gaethje... I think that's incredible, and good on him. That's incredible."

Conor McGregor reveals there were discussions for a two-fight deal with Terence Crawford worth $200 million involving Turki Alalshikh, but says Crawford ultimately declined:

"I got on the phone, 'What's the craic, Terence? It's the Mac Daddy. I got [Turki] here. We've got a big deal for you. It's hundreds of millions, $200 million to be exact.
Mixed martial arts against me and a boxing one against you.

He said, 'I don't want to be kicked by you. No way.' Whatever, that's fine... I don't know how as a man, or as a combatant, you couldn't want to test yourself.

And then he said that about [Topuria]... I didn't like it, and I came in as the daddy of the game and let it be known, and that's it."

“Shaq Won fmvp”

But will ignore kobe averaging 37 ppg against the kings in the playoffs for 2 years straight at a point with Shaq on the roster. Guys don’t have anything to say,it’s crickets. No playoffs = No finals

When it comes to Kobe,guys nit pick & choose what’s important

[Darius Soriano @forumbluegold]

was just talking about kobe’s games in 2001 vs. the spurs on today’s pod. lol. the number of times he’s dunking the ball/finishing at the rim with one or both of tim duncan and david robinson right there is unreal.

[Fastbreak Hoops @FastbreakHoops5]

3-Peat at 23 years old 🐍🏆

[original sauce qb @Qbdaproblem]

That’s why that Kobe hate goofy lmao listen how he’s being spoken about in real time !!! Playoff Kobe 2000-2010 best ever!! This is supported by results . He’d have 7 WCF MVP trophies 6 if you wanna give Shaq the Portland series in 2000…

[Kobe Bryant Stories & Motivation @kobehighlight]

At 22-years-old 🐍

[NBA @NBA]

Kobe.
Steph.
Brunson.

Jalen Brunson joins Kobe Bryant (2001) and Steph Curry (2017) as the only players to put up 26+ PPG and 6+ APG during an 11-game win streak in a single postseason run 🔥

[LAbound @LAbound2]

From 2008 - 2010:

▪️Kobe Bryant and the Lakers beat TEN fifty win teams in the playoffs

▪️Kobe scored more clutch points in that 3year playoff span than anyone in NBA history

All while facing perhaps the toughest playoff path/competition of any player to ever play basketball

2001 NBA WCFinals on @TNTSportsUS
Lakers vs. Spurs [speaking on Kobe 🐍]

• Danny Ainge: “Well Kevin (both Kobe & Shaq) are playing great, but Kobe is being called by Shaq the best player in the NBA. Shaq is referring to (Kobe) as his idol.”

———————————————————

@Spurs🏴‍☠️ players commenting on their game plan:

• SF Sean Elliot
“We definitely have to have people come & collapse (on Kobe)… hopefully he’ll pass the ball out or force a bad shot. When you let someone like (Kobe) dictate what he wants to do.. you are in for a LONG NIGHT.

• Guard Antonio Daniels
“Keep (Kobe) in front of you… that’s all you can do. Even thought it’s easier said than done you have to make him elevate over you & HOPE he misses.”

———————————————————

Ainge: “I like what those guys said.. (but) the twin towers have to step up their game, they played more like the twin sisters in game 1, and speaking of twin towers.. let’s got to Craig Sager WHO IS WITH THE GUY TOWERING OVER EVERYONE 🐍.”

Sager: “The Spurs say they are going to try to make you a passer, & (only) a jump shooter. Do you expect a brick wall down there?.”

Kobe: “We are going to read it and see.”

Sager: “Shaquille O’Neal said after the first game WHAT A LOT OF PEOPLE THOUGHT, that you are the best player in the league. Coming from Shaq what does that mean to you?”

Kobe: “Well it’s a huge compliment, but the most important thing is just moving on and playing tonight’s game.”

Ron Artest speaking on this game where Kobe scored 23 straight points against that elite Celtics defense

“I was in awe, this is incredible he’s got all our points, and doing it without our help” 🐍

But let the haters tell it 24 was carried by Gasol n the lakers “superteam”

14 YEARS AGO TODAY🐍
Kobe Bryant was a "one-man show" vs OKC in his final NBA Playoff game: 42 PTS (55% FG), 5 REB, 1 3PT, 0 AST

He averaged 30 PTS over 12 games during the 2012 Playoffs

[💫Hendawg @Alexjakes8]

A Segment about clutch players. Of course Kobe was #1 on the list,But notice how Jalen says “Clutch” applies to both Offense & Defense. Last night,i saw SGA get benched in crunch time due to being a Defensive Liability. As a starter,No coach has done that to Kobe

[Timeless Sports @timelesssports_]

25 years ago today, Kobe gave us arguably the most impressive back-to-back games ever.

48 points, 16 rebounds to sweep the Kings.
45 points, 10 rebounds in San Antonio.

as a 22-year-old… 🗣️
