I like Jordan, Bird, Magic, Shaq Wade, Curry, lebron, Dirk, Kobe, KD, Booker, spida, SGA, Luka and Tatum to name a few but I don’t like to argue who’s best it’s a pointless, biased and ridiculous argument because everyone has a different opinion. There is no GOAT just enjoy your favorite player, team and have fun watching them while we can because soon enough a lot of these guys won’t be playing anymore and guess what lol mfers still gonna have pointless never ending debates about who’s the goat Until we get a 7ft Kobe,Curry lebron-ish hybrid player made in a laboratory in Europe I doubt we’ll have a true…H1M😂

I love how he mentioned his confidence. Confidence is the most important attribute you need to have as an athlete and as a person without you are nothing and nobody. If you don’t believe that you are the best player in the game you will never ever play like it

The absolute best era in basketball was when Bird and Magic came into the league. We lived Lakers, Boston ,and Philly in my neck of the woods. Those rivalry's were on a whole another level. That's a FACT!!!

Hot take: If the modern era of basketball is the best in any era. Then why the hell no one can master a skyhook. In this generation?? 🤔🤔

@@kkrstudioshow is it inefficient? kareem shot 55 percent from the field for his entire career with majority of those made with the skyhook(from distances of up to 20 feet on the sideline)while the greatest shooter of this generation(all time acdg. to the new generation) steph curry shoots 47 percent from the field and it becomes more inefficient when he shoots the three at 42 percent.. not sure what you are on but you need to get off it bro..
