NBA Legend Ray Allen on His Battles Against Kobe Bryant

 

Two-time NBA champion Ray Allen appeared on ‘The Posecast’ with his former teammate James Posey and looked back on his battles against Kobe Bryant, admitting that they didn’t like each other.

“We did not like each other, you know Kobe and I we always went at each other every chance we got. I knew every time I shot the ball over him he was going to come back down the floor and he was going to shoot, it was always you know back and forth between he and I.”

Ray Allen played 18 years in the NBA with the Bucks, SuperSonics, Celtics and Heat, averaging 18.9 points, 4.1 rebounds and 3.4 assists in 35.6 minutes over 1,300 games. Allen shot 45.2 percent from the field and 40.0 percent from 3-point range in his career.

Eduardo Solano, from FOX Sports Radio 1340 AM Hopewell and AccuScore, wrote this about Kobe Bryant recently:

“Apart from his mindset, Bryant’s fear of not being good enough and losing gave him an upper hand against his competitors. Kobe never failed to show that he would do anything to win.”

Kobe is one of the greatest NBA players of all-time. He is also the greatest Laker ever. Some would disagree but his two jersey numbers in the rafters at the STAPLES Center prove this.

A five-time NBA champion, Kobe Bryant took over games in ways that not many players could. His mentality on and off the court is one of the main reasons why he is one of the very best to ever do it.
