Recently, Arenas and McGrady talked about Kobe's historical status in Arenas' channel "The Arena".
Arenas: It is Jordan's media that Kobe is the second in command Kobe threatened Jordan
McDynam: "This is all the tricks of the media. Because as a player, when we see those games, I mean, when we watched Kobe in 2000, my brother could testify, and I was in my own living room. I watched the NBA Finals, Shaq was in that game and left the game, and then Kobe took over the game, brother, I ran around the house excitedly because Kobe was my brother."
"Look at my brother I was almost crazy after taking over the game. At that moment, I thought to myself, 'Yes, this guy finally played out. 'He is such a tough guy. So when I watched him play, I didn't treat him as Shaq's helper, nor did I regard him as the second choice. Absolutely no. In my eyes, he is the core who can stand alone. He fought side by side with Shaq and could hand over such crazy data. Could it be the same as in KD, that this is all the tricks of the media? ”
