At a recent interview at the University of California, Santa Barbara, Kobe Bryant told a story about Kwame Brown, claiming that it was a tough start to the 2007-08 season because playing with guys like Kwame Brown. They later traded Brown for Pau Gasol who helped the Lakers win two championships.
Kwame Brown, like Kobe Bryant was a number one overall draft pick out of high school, but they have no relation when actually talking about their NBA games. Kwame Brown is known as the biggest "bust" in NBA history. For his career he averaged 7 points and 6 rebounds a game. That isn't horrible, but it also isn't worthy of a number one overall draft pick.
If Kobe wants to talk about a horrible player, can we not remember players like Sean Bradley, the 7 foot 6 inch tall center whose greatest defensive attribute was getting dunked on. I could talk about Mark Madsen, who was a teammate of Kobe Bryant for several years and had a stronger bench presents than his actual play on the court. Let us not forget the second overall pick in 2003, Darko Milicic, who has been on more teams than his rebound average.
Kwame Brown may not be the best or worst basketball player, but he sure is bigger than Kobe Bryant. If I was Kobe, I'd watch what i say. Here is what Kobe had to say:
