Physically if I could change one thing...the one thing that Michael Jordan had, some of the other players (I played with) had, is massive hands. I have big hands but their hands were huge Kobe Bryant

Young Kobe Bryant

Bill Russell One thing I have a quarrel with is that I had better players I personally worked with them to make them better players I did things physically emotionally and intellectually to make my teammates better players They took advantage of the situation that was part of my creation

The attributes that separated Michael from his peers

Kobe was so glued to Jordan that it left Jerry Stackhouse wide open for a game winning dunk

Darko Rajakovic I think there is no success without the players Phil Jackson isnt Phil Jackson without Michael Jordan My Michael Jordan is Scottie Barnes A young guy with a big heart a great worker I am very grateful for him
