Colin Cowherd said Dwight Howard had to be retrained from attacking Kobe Bryant when Bryant called him soft.
They're losing, they're slow, they're old, they're overpaid.
In contrast, local ESPN reporter said if you listen to recent interview with Clippers' Matt Barnes you can hear children playing nearby. Players' kids at the training facility? Sounds like Chris Paul is keeping things loose.
On the other hand, Kobe seems to assert his ego and authority in a way that is causing his team to implode.
Kobe's legacy could be tainted by this, far worse than stories of Michael Jordan bullying his teammates. Jordan's tactics usually had a positive outcome. The same cannot be said for Kobe.
Kobe is a great player. There have been other great players. He might be in the top five all time----great players. Michael Jordan? Jordan is a legend. Legends top great players. Legends do things that become folklore. Stories we heard when we were kids, about Babe Ruth----stories like that are being told about Michael Jordan now, to young kids. And the legend will grow----the folklore will be bigger than life. Kobe can have records and championships----he will never have the magic that Jordan has.
