Still a Black Racist. I guess he’s okay with Giannis since he doesn’t need an interpreter. And he’s Black. How sincere he was with his apology to Giannis. His Ohtani apology was hollow as F. He don’t like Asian folks. He’s one of them. Not only a Black Man. SAS is a Racist Black Man.

Book right because if it was a 24yr old or even a 30yr old Kobe on this Suns team with cp3 it would be 4-1

Wow, way to many hypocrites up here. We compare people everyday base off of our own thoughts. If you were taught by someone of course you will have their imprint.

booker’s offense is really similar to Kobe’s, but I dont think you can say Booker is the next kobe until booker wins a ring

On the offensive end there is a lot of similarities but defensively there is absolutely no similarities, Kobe was a menace at both sides of the court even though there are some ppl that thought Kobe was overrated defensively and Kobe was way more athletic too, in his early years with the Lakers.

ESPN needs to hire an English translator to follow Stephen A Smith whenever Stephen A is on video & audio that will be heard by the world.

He doesn’t even play like Kobe. Kobe was a great defender and much more athletic early in his career. Kawhi is more of an accurate comparison to Kobe

I’ve been saying he’s not for the longest… he just Devin Booker and that’s a great compliment
