Blazers had a squad in the late 00’s. Most amazing thing is how down the stretch Kobe started picking up the primary perimeter ball handler full court for the last 5 minutes of regulation while going nearly 100% from the field possession after possession. He and MJ the only two players who could do that in the history of the NBA.

[@petersonofleo11]

Honestly he needed this to grow as a player and as a teammate. When he was 24 years old he already had 3 rings which spoilt him and didnt let him value what he had in Shaq and Phil. That is the reason Kobe appreciated Gasol when he finally learned the value of great teammates.

[@retrocny5625]

One of the greatest. And this is such a small thing but I love the way Kobe and MJ shot the ball. They put a lot less arch on the ball when they shot. It was like a line drive and because of it, the ball would often hit the back of the rim and then shoot down and you'd get that awesome "thump" sound combined with the swish. As someone who played basketball a lot when I was younger and watched these guys religiously, I always sorta tried to emulate that kinda shooting. You need a lot of lift with your legs to elevate high enough to shoot with that little amount of arch though, and I didn't quite have that(nor was I 6'6 lol)
