Quote of the day
"Not bad for the seventh-best player in the league." -- Lakers guard Kobe Bryant, after scoring 48 against PhoenixDaily blurb
I assume that in today’s quote, Kobe was referring to the preseason ranking of the top 500 players published by ESPN back in October. If so, then it suggests that his #7 ranking has been sticking in his craw for some time. From what I know of Kobe, that’s not a big surprise. I wonder how he’d react to knowing that he was only the 22nd pick (on average) in the five RIHC drafts this year? By the way, Kobe currently ranks only #9 in the ESPN player rater (based on standard 8-category roto scoring using per-game averages). Don’t tell him that! |
