Shaq: Kobe Bryant belongs in GOAT debates with Jordan, LeBron
ClutchPoints: “The only thing I don’t like about the [GOAT] conversation is they don’t put my boy [Kobe Bryant] in it… Michael, LeBron, or Kobe? Now y’all can debate.” Shaq isn’t hearing your GOAT debate if Kobe isn’t in there 🗣 (via @bigpodwithshaq) pic.twitter.com/yLTvKcFxJ0

I don’t have a blue check and I don’t have 8 dollars or whatever it is😆, but L Frank had an extended response to my question about player development on the oldest team in the league.
Part I: Some real praise for Kobe Brown and Jordan Miller’s chances of fitting with stars. pic.twitter.com/jfLsgGXZST – 7:10 PM

Anthony Edwards was 🔥 last night:
43 PTS (@Timberwolves record)
17-29 FG
6-6 FT
He’s just the second player in NBA history age 22 years or younger to score at least 40 points in back-to-back playoff games, joining Kobe Bryant.

More @JJ__NBA goodness:
At 22 years, 273 days, Anthony Edwards is the 2nd-youngest player in NBA history with consecutive 40-point playoff games. Only Kobe Bryant (22-269 in 2001) did so at a younger age. Bryant and the Lakers won the 2nd of 3 straight titles that season. – 9:33 PM

Brandon “Scoop B” Robinson: Kobe or Michael Jordan are the hardest matchups to prepare for, right?! Apparently not! @SHAQ is says @CoachKarl22 on Scoop B Radio. “I mean, people ask me, who’s the most difficult guy I’ve ever had to prepare for? It wasn’t Michael. It wasn’t Kobe. It was Shaq. Most teams don’t have an answer for Shaq other than hope he doesn’t show up.” -via Twitter / May 6, 2024
