Can't see him playing.
I'd probably bring over AD, Bam and maybe Chet for experience for the future.

Im in LA right now, and I have to say, haven't been here since Kobe died.
If an alien came down to LA they would assume that people of this land worship a deity named Kobe Bryant.
I know he died but man I don't think any athlete in a city would generate the amount of tributes/murals/ and shrines as Kobe has.

Today could be the last game ever with the Show and Dippers sharing an arena.

This reminds of the OJ show casting seeing Cuba and David Schwimmer in it
(Which ended up being good to me)

Speaking of murals, there is still a huge Steven Adams mural in OKC, across from the 2nd most expensive apartments in town in the most expensive zip code in general (Film Row, which is just west of downtown business district), ironically overlooking multiple homeless encampments, the City mission, and shelters. You literally might walk out the garage of your $2200 2 bedroom and have to step over human excrement or a whole *** human sleep on the stairs of the garage. It's crazy/

Interesting.
Oh wow so impressive
Hmm seems like he was already top 3 in this stat in 2014. Next evolution though
Is Lillard also a top 20 defender in the league per this stat?

I don't think there's a question that there's a city more connected and an athlete embodied what a city is than Bean with LA.

The more I think about it, I think modern basketball players are making a mistake trying to turn themselves into "brands" or basically basketball agnostic lifestyle influencers.
the athletes that have the most rabid fan bases and strongest emotional connection audience.
are athletes that are most closely associated with purity of competition and sport.
I think the reason a guy like KD have relatively small amount of stans relative to his stature as a player is because they envision themselves as brands beyond basketball.

My only critique on da "I'm not black, I'M OJ" line is that I wish Cuba would've either, (1) paused after saying O for about 5 seconds and the said J or (2) said "I'm not Black, I'm DOMINICAN".

I take your point
but those are like the 3 biggest athletes in the world and potential goats in their sport.
no rational person thinks Kobe is the GOAT hooper, so imo his popularity relative to his ability is petty unique.

I have seen the Kobe GOAT hooper take been made multiple times in the past few years and thank you for acknowledging how irrational that is.

There’s also a large number of cars in LA that have Kobe inspired paint job, license plates or plate frames, etc.
And I’m pretty sure I’ve seen Kobe murals as far out as spots in the Inland Empire and Orange County.

That last line doesn’t matter if you think he’s the goat or not. That’s a lot of people’s goat.
