Hi guys, I just finished watching the interview by Rachel Nichols. It was great and hilarious. I never knew Kobe and Tmac were friends as young kids. Good stuff. I hope you guys enjoy too.

Kobe pulled off an epic save after he said great players don’t make good GMs and Nichols asked if that applied to Magic.

He was being sarcastic I think.

I loved this interview. Growing up, these 2 were my guys.

Remember when the TMac to L.A. rumors were going around.
And LD2K made this vid:


Who wasn't hyped?

I couldn't believe these guys hit the league in back to back years. That was an unbelievable era of wings. Lebron came in the middle of it with Wade, and is last man standing now.

In terms of skills and ball handle, PG13 is the closest thing to T-Mac and Kobe, but I've always been underwhelmed by him. Now in his 9th season, PG13 is putting together a year that T-Mac put up for multiple seasons, and what Kobe did for basically an entire career. So I'm still not sold we'll see this type of season again from PG13 next year.

Forget that. I know I’m reaching here but the main thing I noticed on this interview was when she asked if he could come back and he said “ I definitely could but I don’t want to . Sounds like he just needs convincing to me.

Gotta play D if he's going to be Pippen. That was the knock on T-Mac. When Kobe hadn't really separated himself yet, he was still given the edge over T-Mac by the consensus because he played better D.

Had Grant Hill stayed healthy, he was very much like Scottie Pippen.

Plus TMac was already fighting injuries by that time

I immediately thought of Jerry West - the exception to the rule.

Kobe has found his post basketball passions now.

And on a selfish note, I’d like my last memory of the Mamba on the court to remain the 60 pt finale. I was in awe and fist pumping like an MFer the last 3 minutes of the game.

That was such a great ending. Felt like a kid again watching him do his thing one last time (early teenager during the 3-peat). Definitely bittersweet because it's kind of overwhelming how fast time flies by.

I miss 1998-2004. I’d take Shaq and Kobe drama any day over this (bleep) and Lavar Ball.
