Nick Wright says he’s got Kobe Bryant as the 8th greatest player ever, and he was never the best player in the world: “I know people get mad at that take, but here’s the problem and the reason Kobe was never the best player in the world. Because once Kobe got great, call it 99, he wasn’t great yet, but I’ll give him 99 once you started seeing flashes. From 99 until 2002, Shaquille O’Neal was the best player in the world. And then from 2003 until 2007, Tim Duncan was the best player in the world. You know how I know Tim Duncan was the best player in the world at that time? Because he won three championships in five years. He won two MVPs. He was the best player. He was the best player until that 48 special by LeBron in 2007. LeBron was the best player in the world from that moment until 2018. So it was Shaq, it was Duncan, it was then Bron. At no point was Kobe the best player in the world.” (Via @WhatsWrightShow)

🚨 Rio Ferdinand on the Ballon d’Or race: 🗣️ “This is exactly why many people feel the Ballon d’Or has lost its credibility. We are talking about a player who has played around 930 minutes in Ligue 1 this season and is already being pushed as the favourite to win the award. Since when did football become like this? The Ballon d’Or was supposed to reward the best player across the entire season. Consistency, influence, performances every single week. Not just who peaks at the right moment in the Champions League. Now it feels like the award is decided by headlines, hype and who wins the UCL. A few big nights in Europe suddenly erase months of inconsistency and people act like the rest of the season never happened. That’s what disappoints me the most about modern football. The standards for judging players have changed completely. Players who deliver from August to May are overlooked, while others become favourites after a short purple patch because their team is winning trophies. Football has become too reactionary, and unfortunately the Ballon d’Or reflects that now.”
