O'Neal Barkley talks about Kobe's impact on the league

O'Neal was the first to praise Kobe: He is the greatest player in the history of the Lakers. When he first entered the league, he boasted that he would be better than Jordan. I was really embarrassed when I looked at him at the time. However, looking at his report card after retirement, he surpassed Jordan in total points and one less championship. He is the greatest in the history of the Lakers. The Lakers have had Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Chamberlain, and Magic, but he is the greatest player in the history of the Lakers.

Barkley’s final harvest: Kobe must have felt relieved and relieved when he retired. Like O'Neal and I, we struggled and felt uncomfortable not being able to play like we were at our peak in the last few years, and Kobe was the same. But Kobe needs to realize one thing. He is not yet 40 and needs to find some hobbies. You won’t see news about him fishing or playing golf. He only loves basketball.
