Former Lakers head trainer Gary Vitti : Theres really nothing that special about Kobe Bryant, but he worked smarter and harder than everyone else.

Watch Dwyane Wade said he wanted to earn Kobe Bryants respect when he got into the leagueTo me Kobe was the bar he was the greatest player in the game to me

James Worthy is fired up postgame Historically The Lakers have had clutch players Kareem with the sky hook Magic with his play Kobe Shaq But I don't think we've ever had one as consistent and dominant as Luka Doncic

Skip Bayless I just think the Lakers are a better basketball team on both ends of the floor without Luka LeBron has far less ego than Luka Luka is the most inefficient player in the league

Kevin Porter Jr says hes on a mission to beat Bams 83-point record out of respect for Kobe Now that Kobe got beat I gotta beat Bam just for the respect of Kobe

D-Wade says he doesnt think any player has ever been better than him I think they had better careers because they were healthy not because they were better Can he score better Can he dribble better Its things they can do better but I dont believe any basketball player is better than me

Reggie Miller 31926 The best of the three is MJ Kobe is a better version he mastered MJ's fundamentals Now if you're talking about careers the best is Lebron But stack for stack player I say MJ Kobe then Lebron
