Stephen A. Smith In Hot Water After Explaining Why Kobe Bryant Is Not On His List Of Top 5 NBA Players Of All Time (VIDEO)


Stephen A. Smith has landed himself in hot water after giving out his top-5 NBA players of all-time.

Kobe Bryant played in the NBA for 20 years and in most of them, he was one of the best players in the league. When his career was over, he was a 5-time champion, 2-time NBA Finals MVP, 1-time NBA MVP, 15-time All-NBA team, and 12-time defensive team.

Bryant is arguably one of the best players to ever play in the NBA, but not good enough to make it on Stephen A. Smith’s top-5 list.

On his list, Smith included:

Michael Jordan.

LeBron James.

 

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.

Bill Russell.

Magic Johnson.

Here’s his explanation as to why Kobe did not make his list:

“Kobe doesn’t make the top five because Kobe was measured against MJ and MJ played the same position, had the same style of playing, MJ was number one. So for me when I think about Magic, even though Kobe was a better individual talent, Kobe didn’t lead and galvanized to the degree that Magic did. Magic was the dude that got everybody else better, that got everybody else on their game. Kobe would drop 80 on you right, but Magic would accumulate 80 by having 20 points and 20 assists and making sure that this dude and that dude got fed, and it led to 5 championships and nine title appearances.”

Psychologist Makes Shocking Claim That Taylor Swift Is Autistic, Reveals Proof To Support Her Diagnosis

Taylor Swift is on top of the world right now. Having dominated the music sphere for several years, the pop sensation has made a deep foray into sports, given her relationship with Kansas City Chiefs star Travis Kelce, and is becoming even more popular.

While Taylor is considered a musical genius, a psychologist has made some shocking claims pertaining to her mental health, having branded the singer as autistic.

Dr. Kim Gillbee, PhD, published an article on Medium called “Taylor’s Totalitarianism: Psychologist Reveals 3 Controversial Insights into Swift’s Spellbinding Sorcery” in which she details Swift’s supposed autism, claiming that the artist’s lyrics, behavior in public, and well-documented dating history suggests she suffers from the disorder.

“Now, through my training and working with people for so many years, I’ve developed a pretty good bulls**t meter,” she wrote.

“She is Autistic. Although not possible to diagnose anyone without a proper assessment, my impression, based on clinical experience, is that Taylor is likely on the autism spectrum.”
