Gary Payton: Can Alexander and Kobe be compared

Can Alexander and Kobe be compared?

is so happy!

Mr. Gary Payton's bad temper has been like this for ten years!

Recently, he heard someone comparing the Thunder star Alexander and Kobe together on the show, and he was furious: "Shut up! A guy who knows nothing! Is Kobe a mess that anyone can mess with?"

This reaction is like seeing someone swearing coffee in a convenience store into 1982-year-old Lafite-the old man almost put the words "blasphemy" on his forehead.

"Are you far behind? Is that a trip to the Milky Way?"

The original words of Payton are translated into human words: Kobe is a legend in textbooks, and Alexander is now a chapter exercise question at best.

Although this guy's playoff data is quite intimidating - he averaged 30 points, 5 rebounds, 6 assists and 1.8 breaks per game, and it's considered a cheating level in the game - but the old man rolled his eyes and said, "Can you let this kid be yourself? You have to wear Kobe's skin? Can you wear it in?"

The old man's subtext is actually very simple: You media should not harm young people. When I was called "gloves", you were still playing with mud!

Of course, Payton's irritable speech hides two meanings.

The first layer is nostalgia for protecting the calf.

In the eyes of their generation of players, Kobe represented the bloody hard-core basketball in the 1990s (think the famous scene of Kobe playing with a broken finger), and Alexander's exquisite playing style of relying on middle-distance waltz and fraudulent fouls seemed to be like eating hot pot with a silver spoon - elegant but not explosive enough.

The second floor is just a double standard site!

Kobe was also said to be "like Jordan" when he debuted. Why didn't he see Payton jump? As the old superstars chased the stars themselves, they turned around and removed the ladder of the newcomer?

But then again, Alexander would probably have laughed out loud if he heard this.

now leads the Thunder to the top in the West, with an average of 33 points per game and is playing like a game. The latest odds show that the MVP is almost in his pocket - who wants to be Kobe second? Isn't it good to be Alexander I?

The more Payton jumped, the more it proved that this young man really hit some people's pain: the old school looked down on the new school? It's simple, just use your record to crush it!

So, I think that the old man's yelling is three points for the true feelings and seven points for the variety show effect.

is really more than a hard guy? Kobe was in the hands of three championships at the age of 26, and Alexander was 26?

Just say how to compare, right?

But then again, no one believed that Kobe could catch up with Jordan thirty years ago!

So—

Let the bullets fly for a while, anyway, we fans don’t mind the big deal.
