Amar’e Stoudemire said LeBron was probably harder to play against because of his explosiveness…
But Kobe was harder to guard because there was no weakness.
That’s the difference.
With LeBron, the game plan was: back off, make him shoot, live with it.
With Kobe?
You couldn’t back off.
You couldn’t force him left/right.
You couldn’t bait the turnaround.
You couldn’t take away one thing and survive.
Everything you wanted him to do, he already mastered.
That’s why defenders talk about Kobe differently.
Kobe didn’t just beat the game plan, he erased it.
You pull up to a massive corporate logo like Circle K, expecting accountability.
Instead, drivers in Spring Branch, TX pumped water-logged fuel straight into their tanks and watched their engines completely die a mile down the road.
One Uber driver lost his entire livelihood to a ruined motor. But when the victims demanded answers, the multi-billion-dollar brand pulled the ultimate disappearing act.
Corporate immediately washed their hands of it, hiding behind the excuse that this specific location is an "independently owned and operated" franchise.
Weeks later, the owners and insurance companies are completely ghosting the victims, leaving regular people to foot thousands in repair bills.
The corporate shield is a trap. They want your money, but the second their infrastructure breaks your property, you're on your own.

“I have a rule… you can’t do nothing my kids can’t do at my house”
What’s something people pretend to like, & really don’t?
My answer: Other people’s children.
@OfficialCrowder believes you can’t give other people’s children’s “pow, pows”. I don’t believe that, but I do believe you need to parent your kids into some respect… And if you don’t I don’t really want to be around them.

Charlie Munger on investing in Real Estate in USA:
"Those Patels from India who own all the Motels in USA, they live in the goddamn motel."
“They pay no income taxes, don't pay much workers' compensation...and you want to compete with them?…Not I.”
“Every dime they get, they fix the thing and buy another motel. I don't want to compete with them" 🥶
"So, in real estate, you got all those bullshitters and liars, so it's not a bit easy if you're starting out."
"And you've got people who love real estate like Asians, Hacidic Jews, they're smart people and they know the tricks."
