"Well, probably Kobe, because of the fact that ... well, of course he wouldn't have been shooting as much as he does now ... but his desire to win, his dedication, to always get better, uh, and he's just, he's just tough," Bird said. "He's just a tough cat.
"But, if you want to have fun, like I did with Bill Walton, play with LeBron. It would have probably been more fun to play with LeBron, but if you want to win and win and win, it's Kobe. Not that LeBron's not a winner, just that [Kobe's] mindset is to go into every practice, every game, to get better."

That's right. So for people saying he makes everyone better, No. Not unless you're a slasher or a spot up shooter, he will not make you better if you're a post player like a marc Gasol, Zbo, bosh, love, tim Duncan etc. Then people start bringing up the "1 basketball" subject. Kobe played with one basketball but didn't rob his 4s of ball usage.
Plus, That one basketball excuse is tired some.

Meh, I don't agree with this
Just because Kobe is a sociopath and is crazy doesn't mean he's a better teammate to win with. I only brought up the bird comments because my man brought up Larry lol

Bruh injuries happen every year, to every team to some capacity. That's partly why it was so dumb to say

Playing with lebron has neutered bosh and love and would any star PF. 3 and d guys. Slashers. Thats who he will make better. if his team still wins championships it doesn't matter. It isnt just about stats though. A star PF isnt a high priority in a lebron led offense. I think a random stretch 4 for cheap would be fine.
Bosh as a player made extremly crucial plays at times and stretched the floor properly but i dont think lebron made him better is any way

Kevin Love really proved he wasn't a stretch four last night

Still don't like the Love trade
Coulda kept Wiggins, still did the Mozgov trade and signed either Love/LMA/Monroe/Draymond.

It was definitely a questionable trade from the get-go, folks on NT at least were hesitant
With that being said, the Mosgov trade fell into their lap. Aldridge probably gonna stay in Portland and nobody saw Green having the kind of year he's having
Love definitely could have just signed next season though, much like the Knicks decimating their team for Carmelo
Monroe was probably the most realistic option but not as appealing as Love

Was just about to mention that. Still think the Cavs could've landed Lebron and still found a way to keep Wiggins

That was weird to me, then the story about him having a problem with Wiggins for not signing with Rich Paul.
Seems stupid to not wanna play with a kid who's talent you obviously believe in because you can't make money off of him two ways.
Greed will always get you.

He NEVER did. Cleveland had Love on deck and was a condition for LeBron to sign in the first place
Bron knew what was going on the whole time, didn't reach out to Wiggins a single time when he was drafted. Never acknowledged the selection and omitted Wiggins from his open letter

Been saying all season I wasn't ready to count these dudes out. If they get hot right now, watch out. IDC if they won't have home court advantage. Given their experience level, they don't need it.
