Kwame Brown on Michael Jordan: 'No matter what he does, he never cheats the game'

Who are your top five players of all time? Greivis Vasquez: Yes, obviously the first man is Michael Jordan. I grew up watching him, even though I was really young. The reason I love Jordan is that he did it down and out. But he is a different breed. His mind was different. He didn't want to be like other people, not even his peers. If you really understand who MJ was as a player, you can see his competitiveness and how far he was from others. There were good players, and there were great players, but at that time, he was the greatest player. The second man, my idol, my hero, and the person who means everything to me, is Kobe Bryant. Unfortunately, he is no longer with us physically, but his spirit lives on. Mamba Mentality is a way of life. Kobe's style, education, and strength were extraordinary. You are the definition of a winner. To me, Kobe is more important than Michael in terms of lifestyle. He was a different boy. He spoke three or four different languages ​​and even spoke to me in Spanish a few times. I'm from Caracas, Venezuela, and I play with your hero – money can't buy that. I don't take that lightly. -via HoopsHype / September 19, 2024
