Lakers won’t unveil third Kobe Bryant statue in 2024-25

Kevin Garnett: “Man, the levels in which you had to be not only strong enough but skilled enough to get by this [expletive] in front of you, you understand? They ain’t never seen a 6’7” Rodman guard you. Bro, I see you, and you know you in the scout report. We know you go left; we know you can finish right, but you go left to pull up. Bro, everybody knows. Watching the games back then—Isaiah Thomas and then the Dumars—Dumars shut Jordan down, bro. They were coming to the lane, bro. You might get your nose broke trying to dunk. You understand? Dwyane Wade broke Kobe’s nose in the All-Star game, man. Bro, it was just different. It was very different back then.” -via YouTube / August 26, 2024
