McGrady praised Kobe as the top five in history! He said that his previous remarks were by no means disrespectful. US media: If you were to win three consecutive championships?

On September 23, there is still one month left before the start of the new NBA regular season. Former NBA star McGrady said on a podcast that he did not disrespect Kobe's previous remarks, and said that Kobe is the top five players in NBA history.

This summer, McGrady made many remarks against Kobe, including being able to win three consecutive championships with O'Neal if he was a replacement, and criticizing Kobe for his poor shooting percentage in the 2010 Finals. In this regard, McGrady explained: "We are talking about the time when I briefly entered the top five of the league in my career. With O'Neal's dominance at the time, what would happen if I joined forces with him? This is definitely not disrespectful to Kobe, at all, he is a great existence at the top five levels of history, and there is no doubt about it."

Then McGrady continued: "When you look at O'Neal's era, the Spurs and the Lakers won all the championships of that period, and other teams couldn't stand up at all, so when I say this, what I really want to emphasize is, 'No one can replace Kobe, absolutely not!', people forget that I am one of the most active defenders of Kobe's reputation. If anyone thinks my comments offend Kobe, that's your misunderstanding. I have no respect for my brothers. It means that no matter which one you rank, in my heart he is the top five in history. "

Regarding McGrady's remarks, the famous media clutchpoints wrote: "McD took the peak period of the Magic and the Rockets as an example. At that time, he averaged 25+ points per game for five consecutive seasons, and was regarded as one of the most unsolvable scorers in the league. He emphasized that this is not disrespectful to Kobe, but rather how to shape the legend of the player environment and teammates. He believes that he matches the peak O'Neal with his own strength, and the result is self-evident. If McGrady replaces Kobe, do you think T-Mac and O'Neal can still complete three consecutive championships?
