Oh, favorite memory of Kobe.
I think playing with him on Team USA.
That was, you know, to be able to be with him for, you know,
two months and playing the game, being able to see him compete and practice in the way he just went about his business was special.
The other memory I have is not so good because
I had blonde hair, and I think he made a jump shot at the free throw line over me.
I thought I contested it, but I was coming down, and he was still up there.
So just the competition.
He loved going against the best.
He wasn't afraid, and he was the ultimate winner.
kobe uh if you if you got on his nerves or you were going to talk to him he was going to talk back a lot of times for me it wasn't to talk to the stars i wasn't going to try to get them motivated i wanted them to kind of like just go through their their routine and get their average and go home but if you were going to talk trash he wasn't going to back down and then he would let you have it so um i tried to go the opposite way just say hi and uh you know see you next time
uh you got in the league at peak jordan uh what 94. yes sir he was he's special um you know being able to play against mj um
again uh the best to ever do it the one thing i always tell people about mj is when you bought a ticket that you were going to leave there very impressed and not disappointed and so um you know if you were at the garden or you know in boston uh if you were at golden state you know he always uh performed at a very high level and so um i don't know if people really understood you know the performance that he did on a nightly basis
When you paid, you know, you were entertained.
He always did something special.
And so I always thought he was the best at his job.
Isaiah Thomas, Detroit, Isaiah, Kyrie.
I'm going to give you one that a lot of people don't talk about is Rod Strickland.
Stricky was, you know, his handle and his finishing was incredible.
I'm going to go with Steve Nash.
