Barnes speaks for Kobe, players think Kobe is top, but the media keeps raising James

Jordan, Kobe, and James are the three players with the best performance in the NBA in recent decades and are also the most influential players. However, the well-deserved God of Basketball ranks first in almost all lists, but the rankings of Kobe and James always cause great controversy.

Old Hardaway, Jackson and Barnes talked about this topic again in a recent basketball show. Old Hardaway was the first to express his feelings, saying that there are very few topics to talk about Kobe now, and it is not normal. If Kobe is still there, this situation would not have happened. Everyone seems to have skipped him now. Such behavior is really outrageous. Just like when talking about something, I finally found that I forgot to discuss Kobe. In fact, even O'Neal said before that when discussing the comparison between James' status and Jordan, at least we should discuss it with Kobe first.

Barnes even bluntly stated that people who have been teammates with Kobe or have played against Kobe will always mention Kobe. On the contrary, those media people and some basketball experts who have never played basketball have always kept elevating James' status. Barnes said that he did not intend to offend James. He is a very powerful player, but obviously the players are very clear in their hearts that both Kobe's teammates and opponents think that Kobe is the top one. Old Hardaway also highly agrees with this passage, for example, asking Alexander would also rank Kobe on the list.

Barnes and Kobe have a long history, and deliberately scaring Kobe when serving was a classic scene. Such a bad guy on the court was even more subdued by Kobe. He was recruited by Kobe and then ran to the Lakers from the Big Three Heat when he was called. Barnes has spoken for Kobe on the show more than once. He said earlier that Kobe is better than James in pure basketball. This time, he spoke again without exception, angrily scolding the media and experts who don’t understand the ball at all, hinting that they should not smear Kobe again.

fans also said that Ba Ye is too righteous. When Kobe is there, these people only dare to complain. When they are away, they will blatantly slander them. These old-school players will definitely not be able to stand it.
