Yesterday the 2013-14 NBA GM Survey was released and for the first time in 12 years Kobe Bryant was not listed as the best shooting guard in the league (James Harden took that spot). While we still haven’t heard from Kobe, his coach Mike D’Antoni did react to the ranking. Check out what he had to say about it…
Via LATimes:
Mike D’Antoni stepped up to defend Kobe:
“You know how good he played last year, my gosh, nobody plays better than him,” said D’Antoni of Bryant’s 2012-13 season. “You never know what’s behind their thinking but I’m sure that those 30 execs would get him in a second.”
…
Could this be just another slight to add to the bulletin board?
“You know what, I don’t think he went berserk because he’s motivated enough anyway,” D’Antoni said. “It does not matter. This guy is dedicated for Lakers fans, for himself, for us as a team.”
