Kobe thinks Wiggins is gonna be a beast

[Note30]

We got the GOAT1A thinking Wiggins is gonna be sick. Good enough for me.

Kobe Bryant: “ Cleveland is making the same mistake that Charlotte made with me ”.

I guess in retrospect he's saying Love has the same value as Divac.

[Esohny]

Well, if Colorado Kobe says something...

[Foye]

Kobe also thought Wes Johnson was good. Just saying.

[Steve_Holiday]

Charlotte made a mistake? Kobe didn't have anything to do with forcing that trade?

[breatnach]

Kobe also thinks he is underpaid at $26m a year

[Wolves_Nation]

Just because Kobe is great doesn't mean he can evaluate talent. Ask Michael Jordan.

The Cavs are screwing up though...in three years Wiggins will be a top 5 player.

****. He's totally gonna suck.

[Calinks]

This means almost nothing. Somebody always thinks every rookie with talkent is going to be great. Wes Johnson got crazy praise, Brewer got crazy praise for his defense, McCants got hype, Rubio. Doesn't mean we got a superstar on our hands.

Now if someone goes up to Wiggins during a game and gives him props like Tim Duncan did to Love his rookie year, that will hold a little more weight to me. That was almost like breaking the 4th wall to recognize another players skills in the moment because it was just so standout obvious to you.

Certainly doesn't hurt. Kobe doesn't have the best track record in evaluating talent, but it's not like he's the only one saying this.

"Cleveland is making a big mistake; this will be just like when I was drafted and I begged and pleaded to stay in Charlotte, but they duct taped my arms and legs together and Fed Ex'd me to the Lakers against my will"

[Camboflage]

Wiggins will be great. I'm surprised so many Timberwolves fans care so much about the departure of Kevin Love.

He wasn't going to take your team anywhere, that is just the hard truth.

He is a great player, but you have something here with Wiggins/Lavine/Bennett and even Rubio. You're a few pieces away of properly rebuilding and expect a lot of us Raptor fans to root on our boys during the season.

[wolfcat]

For once, I hope Kobe is right.

[Worm Guts]

"Hey Cleveland, don't trade for Kevin Love I want him to sign with the Lakers"

Nice try Kobe

[Vindicater]

The difference between Wiggins and Johnson however is Wiggings did not play for Syracuse.

You are right. No more Syracuse player for this franchise please.

I think Kobe just found a way to mention himself, nothing more

[Swish4]

I think what Wiggins has that sets him apart is his quickness and speed.
