And he said he never played long enough to figure out Kevin Durant’s weaknesses so KD gave him a lot of problems too.

People been at Melo's neck lately for the Jokic shit but this proves why Melo will always tell real stories from his perspective. I know what he meant around the 14:00 mark when talking about Kobe going thru his personal troubles but hitting the game winner. And for that to happen AGAINST the team representing Colorado when his case was in Colorado is just a whole nother level of focus and drive. There's a couple things that I think Melo needs to address more, but there's one thing that ain't debatable. He genuinely had love for Kobe. That's a rare group of people in and of itself but I ain't gonna go there. Mamba Forever.
