Not a LeNron fan. But if we talk about Basketball IQ, analysis and remembering almost every gameplay in a particular game including the time and who passed and shoot the ball, no one can actually do what LeBron is thinking if we talk about basketball.

I miss Kobe, someone that I’ve never met, but that’s even more of a testament of this guys energy. It’s crazy how we all realized (even more than we already did) how special he really was and still is, especially now that he’s gone…but certainly not forgotten.

[@ArmedNDangerous]

When Kobe says this about you... You are really special... Years later he's still one of if not the most difficult player to defend in the NBA

[@what3ver912]

The fact he says he retired without being able to figure him out is crazy. Kobe is basketball. Dude would have played another season just to figure out KD smh and ofc so many more that he clearly claims he figured. Master of his art. Huge inspiration. You don’t gotta be a nice guy to be what you want to be. He didn’t hurt nobody. R.I.P to the great.

[@Kyrie_Durant]

You do realize that the officiating is just terrible in that series. it’s not the Nets fault he gets punched and doesn’t get fouled. Then when he slightly taps Tatum he gets a foul. Just showing every sport is rigged and there is nothing you can do if a league has a favorite team. The perfect comeback story that everyone will be talking about. From fighting to be above .500 to World Series(talking about Celtics).
