This is one of those stories that instantly turns into a comment-war. Fred VanVleet said that after the Raptors won the 2019 title, he overheard a conversation where the sentiment from Kawhi was basically: “I’m better than Kobe.” VanVleet emphasized Kawhi didn’t say it directly to him — he just caught it in the room. KD’s reaction on the pod was interesting too: he didn’t say he agrees with the all-time ranking, but he understands the mindset after a run like that — the “drop me anywhere in history, I can do this” confidence. #NBA #KawhiLeonard #KobeBryant #Raptors #KevinDurant #FredVanVleet #NBADiscussion
