One thing about Kobe Bryant is he never holds his tongue. Â Yesterday, the ESPN’s annual ranking of the NBA players was announced and to say Bryant thought ESPN got it wrong would be an understatement. Â ESPN ranked Bryant as the 40th best player currently in the league. While, Bryant is well out of his prime, that is clearly disrespectful to a five time NBA champion and one of the best to ever put on a Lakers uniform.
It seems like ESPN’s analysts love to fire up Bryant because he always responds on the court. Â Luckily for all of us, the media was able to get his reaction to his ranking. He said, “I’ve known for a long time that they’re a bunch of idiots.” The idiots being ESPN of course. Â Just to put it in perspective, here are the four players ranked directly above Bryant:
39. Andre Igoudala
38. Klay Thompson
37. Rajon Rondo
36. Dwyane Wade
Is Kobe’s rank fair or not fair?
