Again when you’re cornered with facts you deflect and move the goal posts. I didn’t say anything about West, I gave the facts of the workout which you lied about. It was a workout, pretending like Jerry West scoured the globe looking for the greatest defender to test Kobe and came up with a broken down and long retired Micheal Cooper is just another one of your fantasies. You conveniently left out that he went up against Larry Drew as well during the workout because you’re intentionally being misleading. The HS comment was meant to clarify another one of your exaggerations to put it politely. You said “while he was in HS” which was false.

You sound ridiculous! It didn't matter how old Cooper was,West picked him for specific reasons!

Why would he scout the world when So.Cal is full of high level basketball players!

Especially since West didn't want any other team to draft Kobe!

It wasn't a worldwide event!
It was a closed private workout

And you mentioning Cooper's age as if detracted from the workout in So.Cali proved what?

What was your point? What did it disprove?

Jellybean Joe Bryant and his teammates were older than Cooper young Kobe played ball with them!

And West still picked Cooper to confirm he wanted Kobe.

If you want facts Kobe had been playing with and against professional and college players all during his high school off seasons!!

No different than Nolan Ryan pitching batting practice to high school and junior college players!!

It's to prove and confirm that you at least are able to compete at a high level,possiblythehighest
level .
.
Kobe had been playing against (pickup ball,1 on 1,etc) & studying professional players his entire life!

Now go and try to find something
to dispute that !
