A40:
The whole speech was my high point if any high point could be gleaned from the day.

I've never seen MJ go into this detail about anybody else. Was really touching to see how heartfelt his words were. And the range of emotions you felt just watching

Tundesam923:
going for the Wayne Gretzky record!

Roland17:


If you have observed, over the last year, the GOAT has retreated even more and away from the limelight, but only such catastrophe can bring him out and in front of the world on national TV again.
It was quite touching to see. I like where he said no matter how annoying Kobe was, you always found a way to love him. The crying meme also lightened the mood. I know Kobe is proud where ever he is now because the world has shown how much he meant to us.

birdman:


Indeed. An older, more mellow MJ. I saw another of MJs interviews like a week before Kobe passed. He talked like an older man, just looked weird to me at the time.

The unsettling part of the speech for me was seeing Bill Russell. I was thinking last year this man doesnt have long - you can see he has turned the corner when it comes to aging. But he is still here, and someone far younger is not. This life.

steady986:
I remember saying here that I'd take Beal over Klay any day. Well I didn't mean to say that, what I wanted to say is I'd take Beal over Klay everyday and twice on Sundays.

A40:
Lool man he's 57. We got to realize these guys are slowly but surely getting older. It will take some getting used to as we see them morph from adulthood to middle age to retirement level and beyond

Bill Russell is like almost 80 or over 80? Anyway that's the sad part about life. With Kobe he was just getting started properly with life outside basketball, he had so much left to give to the up and coming generation of ballers both male and female and perhaps the most heartbreaking of all is that we are never going to know how good his daughter would have been.

Really looked for reasons to see yesterday as a celebration of life as they said but just couldn't find anything to celebrate about

donlittle25:
I think Russell is like 86.

In a Vacum, maybe however I don't think either can be your best player if your ambition is to win a Title. As a No2 though, I'm picking Klay. Not only can He seamlessly fit into any team, He is also not a sieve on the defensive end.

steady986:

Naah, as a number 1 I definitely can choose Beal, he's earned it. Ball handler, scorer(not just shooter), leader...imagine having Beal and Jokic in your team plus the right pieces, that's a championship team. I don't think you could say the same for Klay/Jokic, or even any other big.

chic2pimp:


In that Scenario, Jokic is the by farrrrr the No 1 player so my opinion still stands tbh.

steady986:

I chose Jokic because he's on the same level with Beal in terms of superstar status. I didn't choose Giannis or AD. Jokic being by farrrrr the No 1 is overexaggerating.

A40:
Lmaooooooo Beal over Klay? Zach Lavine nko?

SmooshCHN:
So basketball is only about scoring? No defense, no off the ball skill, etc? Clap for yourself.

chic2pimp:


No Beal is not on the same Level as Jokic Superstar status or otherwise. There is a definite and clear Gap between the two players. Jokic is at worst a Top 7 player in the League at this moment whilst Beal on His best day will struggle to crack Top 10 If we are being Honest.

SmooshCHN:
By his standards, Trae Young should just be at the top. Since he's 3rd in scoring and not just a scorer but a shooter. Nonsense

Like I mentioned only scoring attribute Herr. Smh. Don't overhype Kay's defence, you fans do this a lot.
