Kobe Bryant's performance in May and June 2001, particularly during the NBA playoffs and Finals, is widely regarded as his ascension to the best player in the world, characterized by an unprecedented level of two-way dominance. At only 22 years old, Bryant averaged 29.4 points, 7.3 assists, and 6.1 rebounds per game throughout the Lakers' 15-1 championship run, with his performance earning praise from teammate Shaquille O'Neal, who labeled him the best player in the world at that time.

Jerry West's evaluation and pick of Kobe Bryant as a 17 year old is considered the greatest move in NBA history.

More AI search stuff: Kobe Bryant is widely considered the toughest NBA player ever due to his relentless "Mamba Mentality," enabling him to play through severe injuries, maintain an unparalleled work ethic, and dominate opponents mentally and physically.

Kobe Bryant famously played through the 2009-10 NBA season with a broken right index finger, leading the Los Angeles Lakers to the 2010 championship. He suffered an avulsion fracture on Dec. 11, 2009, but refused surgery, modified his shooting technique, and won the NBA Finals MVP. [1, 2]

1987 NBA defensive player of the year Michael Cooper says 17 year old Kobe was the toughest player he ever defended. He guarded Bird and Jordan.

I love Bird, but he was literally dominated by James Worthy from 1985-1987.

That's true. It's still three out of five. An all time Lakers prime team would beat an all time team from every other team. Magic, Kobe, Worthy, Kareem and Shaq would beat Oscar, Jordan, Bird, Duncan, and Russell. Put James, West, Wilt on the bench. They'd kill any team you could construct of non-Lakers.

Why does golf matter?

I've mentioned this before, but it's worth repeating. Best basketball players in the world by decade since 1970. Four out of five are Lakers. 1970s: Kareem Abdul-Jabbar 1980s: Magic Johnson 1990s: Michael Jordan 2000s: Kobe Bryant 2010s: LeBron James

Here's your Robinson and Duncan Spurs defense.

Durant and ask him who his favorite player is.

Sterling literally releases the ball from about two inches above his ear. He's losing at least ten to twelve inches on his release point if he shot properly. That's not good form no matter how you define it. Doesn't matter what his percentage is in high school.

Why claim fundamentals don't matter when you can double down with speech?

Sterling won't even be Duru unless he changes his shot.
