Alright fam, check it, I don’t know much about basketball except player names, the 3 point line, rebound, “Kobe”, Chef Curry, Derrick Rose literally breaking his own ankles every time he gets on the court you know, the basics. Being born in Chicago I gotta represent our young 23 you know how it is. Yo the game has changed over the years, the game was more aggressive back in Jordan’s era, now if a player even breathes on another player they get fouled. Kobe can’t beat Jordan on his best day, my boy Jordan will break Kobe’s ankles and spirit, Kobe won’t have to retire because Jordan fam will end his career for him. But your blog isn’t about Jordan being better than Kobe it’s about the 5 ring super dribbler retiring, wonder what’s he going to do for the rest of his life? I hope he stars in Space Jam 2, Ima need to cop me some space jam Kobe’s.
