Watching tmac is still frustrating. He didn’t have the work ethic of the guys comparable to him(kobe, Lebron, etc). Wasn’t hungry to win like pierce when he finally got help at the end of his career. Tmac was a more talented player. Kobe was a more determined player. Couldn’t say it back then but if I had to choose I would’ve taken kobe over tmac. When kobe was threatening to leave La, morey should’ve picked up the phone.
Tmac had unfortunate circumstances. I can't conclude he has no work ethic when he's mastered the game the way he has. This Is why stars are forming super teams to avoid being looked at the way you are looking at Tmac.
Sidenote its crazy seeing Tmac next to Jalen who realistically is meant to be a big guard or small forward and see how visibly taller he is.
I was watching the video earlier and the difference in fluidity, footwork. Even small nuances like how Tmac protects the ball with his shoulder and body..which Kobe does as well.. How he protects the ball on his gather..when initiating the move. I think his moves won't translate unless he goes back and sees the nuances.
That looks like a house that was hollowed out and turned into a court
