Lonzo Ball, point guard for the Chicago Bulls, who has returned to the NBA after more than 1,000 days out after several operations on his left knee, has joined the debate over whether Kobe Bryant was better than Michael Jordan.
“I love Kobe Bryant, but he was never the best player for me,” Lonzo Ball told ‘The WAE Show’.

Does Kobe Bryant really hold the negative record for most missed shots in NBA history?
The Bulls point guard acknowledges that his decision is influenced by “the record for most missed shots (14,481), you know what I mean?” of Kobe Bryant, who had a remarkable 44.7% shooting percentage to score 33,643 points in his career.
What Lonzo Ball forgets is that LeBron James recently surpassed Kobe Bryant’s negative record of 14,628 missed shots as the player with the most missed shots in NBA history.
In 2017, Lonzo Ball already declared that “I prefer LeBron James to Kobe Bryant”.
Lonzo Ball: “Stephen Curry is the best shooter of all time”
Lonzo Ball wanted to highlight the influence of Stephen Curry, whom he considers “the best shooter of all time” and who he believes changed the game of basketball: “There’s nothing he hasn’t done and he also has the NBA championship rings to back it up.”
