The Year I Took Over from Kobe

Curry: His three-pointers are scarier than mine.

Carter: His dunks are better than mine.

Stockton: If he wants to, he could break my assist record.

Rodman: I’ve never seen a player grab so many rebounds. The scary part is, he’s a guard.

DeRozan: He has the elite skills of a classic guard. I want to learn from him.

Jimmy Butler: He’s tougher than me. I thought he was supposed to be my sidekick.

Olajuwon: His footwork is good enough to be its own school.

LeBron: He turned down my recruitment offer, so now I just want to join him.

Harden and Durant: The three of us like to visit the Ice and Snow World together.

Bill Russell: I should be glad he hasn’t set his sights on my hands yet.

Jordan: He’s the only one who can break Wilt Chamberlain’s scoring record.

NBA: The Warriors’ Death Lineup isn’t scary. What’s truly scary is the Lakers’ super-powered frontcourt, and the scariest player in it is An Yuan.

An Yuan: You can all stop worrying. I’ll retire after one more season!!!
