"I wear #23 because of LeBron not Michael" - Bradley Beal

[OfTheCross]

I wonder why Draymond wears it

fukk MJ

but lets talk about how Kobe is more respected by his peers than Lebron though. Players stay taking cheap shots at him. Who give a fukk what number Bradley Beal wears? He's not elite. Westbrook and Durant have repeatedly shown love to the Gawd more than Lebron.

None of these dudes in the league are really Kobe's peer though, they're his youngbucks, they grew up watching Kobe. Paul Pierce, McGrady, AI, Shaq, Chauncey, all dudes retired and working for ESPN are Kobe's peers and they treated Kobe same way dudes playing now treat Lebron, they showed even less respect. Look how disrespectful Duncan was when asked about Kobe's retirement and his last game against him. The next generation is gona revere Lebron even more than these young dudes do Kobe.
