Each year, ESPN ranks NBA players, from worst to first. And naturally, it causes much debate. Basketball is the sport that lends itself best to the “who is better?” debate.
Today, they announced on twitter that Kobe Bryant is #25. Last year, he was ranked 6th, and he took offense to that. So what will his pending hashtag-laden tweet say to this?
But if you take the emotion out of it, which is impossible for some, does it make sense? He’s in his mid-30s, has a ton of NBA miles on his body and still isn’t healed from an Achilles tear.
