    I think that's fair. Though I think there was a better #2 to Kobe than B-roy, I just can't think of who. I know that may stir up some shit but I think there could be a conversation about other players there. Whereas with Jordan/drexler and curry/Lillard that's spot on.

    Was Gasol better than La Benedict?

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    Maybe Tracy McGrady. I actually think they were pretty equivalent talents, until McGrady's back injuries sapped his abilities. So maybe he's not the best choice. Vince Carter?

    At the time Kobe claimed BRoy was number 2, some Wade fans were upset about it.

    Yeah. That's super high praise and I remember that. But there is at least a conversation to be had for that era.

    conversation of wade vs Broy?

    I loved Brandon but it’s not even close. There should be no conversation.

    Problem is they all thought they were getting a free ride to a championship, but when a majority of a team is there for a free ride, there isn't enough players who are actually doing anything to get to the trophy.

    I would give up our whole team and picks for eternity to pair Jaylen Brown with Dame

    Gary Payton II sits on Blazers bench and can’t get a playing time now a Christmas Day starter for the Warriors… amazing

    yeh...as a basketball fan this is high level entertainment

    as a Blazer fan it's demoralizing to know how far away the Blazers are from this kind of play

    Gary Payton II is better than Blevins, McClemore and Simons combined

    He's much more mature. He has a job and he does it. Stotts could not have developed him into what we are seeing now.
