Who said that?

An NBA HOF said this on the radio last week, and it really blew me away.

In his opinion the NBA's two best post players happen to play for the same team. Who are they, and who's opinion was this?

I'm pretty sure it was Jerry West, he said something along the lines of:
Kobe being the #1 post player in the league, and Pau as #2.

You are correct sir! So much for drama and intrigue.

I loved hearing that from Mr. West, it's one of my favorite statements all season. It deserved it's own post.

I was discussing that with a friend over the weekend and we struggled to agree on any player with better post moves than either Gasol or Kobe.

Tim Duncan is obviously one of the most skilled big men, but I'd say Pau has passed him and Kobe just toys with guards in the post.

i agree. before he got injured kobe was killing them in the post. just imagine how dominant he and pau would have been if kobe never got hurt?

Kobe Bean Bryant GOAT

Watched West on Jim Rome and he is Kobes biggest fan.

The legend, the man, a Laker for life. I love that guy!
