Magic is my favorite basketball player of all-time. He excelled at everything. Was amazing to watch. Unselfish. He made basketball fun. I was a Lakers fan during his playing days.
Kobe ruined that.
Kobe's a great player in his own right, he, like MJ is just a different player. Kobe has never been my favorite current Laker, let alone all time. In fact, he's not even in my top 5 and maybe not top 10 favorite Lakers. I do, however, appreciate his game, how hard he works at it and the fact that he was a huge part of 5 championships.
