      Before Lillard was the man in Portland it was Roy. Man he was great definitely had the potential to be a hall of famer before his injury.

      would have been a unanimous first ballot HOFer and top 20 player all time had he not been "really" injured. Reality is that he was always a little injured. Bad knees since college. Roy jumped higher at 13 years old than at 23 years old. He was just so incredible that even with the bad knees he was still better than everyone he played against other than Kobe.

    Kobe was the last of his kind. He took rivalries to another level. Always went hard going against the top guys wade, bron, tmac, Iverson, vince, melo, broy and the list goes on. He was willing to play through injuries just to play against these guys. Nowadays players will rest when they're tired or don't feel like playing.

    I remember reading about Kobe Bryant in school, when we had to rent books for the week.
    I'd always do the picture books, seeing Kobe and Shaq be the top dogs during their reign, crazy realizing we actually lived through their era.
    I always wanted to meet Kobe and pick his brain, luckily my sister took me to a game back in 2011, and he was just as good.
    Sad I'll never get to shake his hand.

      I started watching NBA at like 8 yrs old and the Mavs were my team (Nash,Fin,Dirk) bc I live near the area. My 1st favorite player in the NBA was Tracy McGrady, and Brandon Roy became my favorite player after he came into the league... his offensive skillset was mesmerizing and I destroyed everybody on 2K9 with "The Natural" lol.
      Then, I was conflicted when he gave my Mavs a hard time in the 2011 playoffs in the 1st round and I was even more sad when that was the last time I was going to see him at his best bc if he didn't have any injury problem when he played against us, Dirk might've not gotten his 1st and only championship that year.
      After Brandon Roy was crippled and destroyed by injuries, PG13 became my favorite player, and now Luka Doncic is my current favorite player.

      LeBron 39,531 pts on 50.5% fg more points then Kobe 33,643 pts on 44.7% fg
      LeBron 1st all time points
      Kobe 1st all time missed shots
      Bleacher report top 50 greatest NBA players all time
      1. Michael Jordan
      2. LeBron James
      3. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar
      6. Shaquille O'Neal
      7. Tim Duncan
      14. Kobe Bryant
      Kobe Bryant 44.7% fg only 32.9% 3pt most missed shots in the NBA history not even top 10 player all time that's why Bleacher report has him #14
      Kobe Bryant 15 losses seasons he didn't win ring including getting swept 3 times by Jazz 4-0 in 1998 playoffs and by Spurs 4-0 in 1999 playoffs and by Mavericks 4-0 in 2011 playoffs last I checked he doesn't have 20 championships
