During his time in the NBA, Kobe Bryant was widely regarded as one of the league’s top shooting guards. He achieved incredible success with the Los Angeles Lakers, winning three consecutive championships from 2000 to 2002. However, Bryant’s influence extended beyond his own accomplishments as he also pushed other players, including former NBA star Tracy McGrady, to elevate their game.
While debates about the greatest player of all time often revolve around Michael Jordan and LeBron James, McGrady has a different perspective. For him, Bryant stands above both.
During an appearance on the “Shay Shay” podcast with Shannon Sharpe, McGrady named the late Lakers legend the most skilled basketball player he’s ever seen. In the eyes of McGrady, Bryant’s unique combination of talent, hard work, and dedication to mastering the game set him apart.
Tracy Mcgrady on who the most skilled basketball player hes ever seen:

“Kobe was the most skilled player I’ve ever seen. Kobe took who MJ was but enhanced the skillset. He had a better handle, shot the three better, and the moves, the footwork—he had it all,” McGrady said.
Tracy McGrady Ranks Kobe Bryant Among the Top 5 NBA Scorers of All Time
Tracy McGrady recently shared his list of the top five scorers in NBA history. As a longtime admirer of Kobe Bryant, it was no surprise that he included Bryant as his second pick. Bryant, who ranks fourth on the all-time scoring list with 33,643 points, remains one of the most iconic players the league has ever seen.
At the top of McGrady’s list is Michael Jordan, whom he considers the greatest scorer in NBA history. The other three players rounding out McGrady’s top five are Carmelo Anthony, Kevin Durant, and McGrady himself.
Although Bryant is no longer with us, his impact on the game endures. As one of the best overall players the NBA has ever witnessed, Bryant’s legacy continues to live on through the memories of those who played alongside him, like McGrady. By naming Bryant on his list, McGrady ensures that fans never forget the greatness of the Mamba.
Former NFL Quarterback Brett Favre Lashes Out At Taylor Swift, Accuses Her Of Using Her “Influence” For Foul Reasons

Former NFL star quarterback Brett Favre has taken a swipe at pop sensation Taylor Swift for political reasons ahead of the upcoming 2024 presidential elections.
The 11-time Pro Bowler and three-time All-Pro is known to be a supporter of former President Donald Trump and has previously endorsed him.
He’s since taken a shot at Swift, who recently endorsed Democratic candidate and Vice President Kamala Harris following Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes informing everyone that he wouldn’t endorse a candidate.
“Good take by Mahomes,” he wrote in a tweet.
“I see a lot of celebs trying to influence their audience instead of letting the people think for themselves. If the best choice for them ain’t clear and they’re easily swayed by their fav pop artist, it’s not going to be a good thing.”
