You didn’t provide any facts. Kobe Bryant wasn’t in HS when he worked out for the Lakers. That happened in between the NBA season and the draft. Kobe had finished HS and famously taken Brandy to his prom prior to that workout. You said Micheal Cooper was an elite, shut down NBA defender at the time. Also incorrect, Cooper was a 40 year old assistant coach who’d been retired for 6-7 years after a career ending injury when that workout took place. You haven’t provided a single fact yet. Your stories are either incorrect or cobbled together bits and pieces of stories you mashed together to invent a biased narrative. Your previous post is an exercise in hypocrisy since it was you who initially attacked me and I just threw it back at you. You also accuse me of bias then openly proclaim that you’re 100% biased. Of course people like you don’t like taking your own medicine.

So now you question the Great Jerry West?

You are a joke!

Out of hundreds of ball players available, he picked Michael Cooper to play Kobe Bryant!

Cooper must have been still capable of playing good enough basketball to be the right competition?!

Or maybe Jerry West didn't know what he was doing right?!

You're splitting hairs being intentionally obtuse.

The high school prom,hs graduation and NBA draft are all in late spring,early summer..

Kobe Bryant never played a second of college basketball and declared for the NbA draft as a HIGH SCHOOL SENIOR!

Kobe Bryant went straight from high school to the NBA!!

Doesn't matter he graduated he is 1 of the high school players that went straight from prep ball to professional basketball.

For the last time great basketball savant; THE INTERVIEWS I REFERENCED ARE ALL ONLINE!

This isn't the toxic poli board or newly toxic ot board that I read and avoid commenting on.

Everything I said can be checked visually with audio accompanying it.

I don't post for likes.
I don't attack others online.
I discuss,debate posts not people.

I proposed a solution!
Anytime, anyplace.

But if you have the audacity to question former professional basketball players,coaches and even Jerry West (a great player, a coach and great general manager) nothing I say is going going to change your OPINION.

Anything I post I will say to any grown man in person.
