Mark Cuban not re-signing Jalen Brunson is one of the all time stupid NBA decisions along with his Mavs trading Luka Doncic to the Lakers for busted @$$ Anthony Davis who is now on the Wizards!!

Wilbon is a hater ! 😂 the question was “How is Brunson showing “mamba mentality?” No one is comparing

I just love Kobe getting talked about. Swear sometimes I feel like the media has a contract to not highlight his place in history. Player of the decade from 2000-10.

Brunson’s dad tortured his son on the court until he developed Mamba mentality. The video is on YT.

One of the greatest teams ever he says as NY didn’t dominate the regular season being the 3rd seed, struggled against Detroit who got taken out by the Cavs by the way, wearing themselves out & were unrecognizable in the NY series & just quit. 76ers weren’t healthy. No lie NY is good but beating the best at their best makes you an all time great team imo

Michael wilbon finally said something I can agree with, they want to solidify guys off 1 ring.

Everything Stephen A does has a 30-year mark 🤣.” I’ve been in this business for over 30 years”.” I’ve known that brother for 30 years”. Whatever bro they don’t acknowledge you like you acknowledge them. You can see the difference in NBA analysis from someone like Michael Wilbon compared to SAS. Stephen A talks about absolute nothing says a lot of things

Love you Wilbon, but he’s not linking himself to Kobe in terms of greatness. He’s talking about the mentality. It may only be 25%. But clearly it’s there.

Thank you Wilbon for keeping things in perspective. Brunson is not in that category not even a little bit
