Jalen Brunson reveals HILARIOUS plan to stop Kobe Bryant in his prime

During his playing days, Kobe Bryant was absolutely formidable on the court against opponents. He was the spine of the Los Angeles Lakers in his prime, leading them to five NBA championships. Widely regarded as one of the greatest basketball players ever, the ‘Black Mamba’ was an attacking force to reckon with. However, a plan that would have allegedly ‘stopped’ Bryant back then, has now been revealed by Jalen Brunson.

Speaking in a recent interview with Nike Basketball, Brunson opened up his clever plan that would halt the Lakers legend in his tracks. When asked how he would try to stop Kobe Bryant on the court, the Knicks star said:

How would I stop Kobe? Me personally, I would call timeout and call coach to put someone else on him. Yeah, I know my limitations for sure.

According to the New York Knicks star, the best way to contain prime Kobe is to request for a halt in play. And when that happens, all he has to do next is ask the coach to assign another player to Bryant.

In the opinion of Jalen Brunson, that would be the most effective strategy to keep the 18-time All-Star in check. Furthermore, Brunson asserts he is aware of his own limitations, hence the reason why this plan is the best one.

The late Bryant left a lasting impact in the NBA and the game in general, racking up numerous accolades and honors. This includes four MVPs, two Olympic gold medals, five rings, winning 836 times in his career and named to the All-NBA team 15 times.

The NBA star further noted that even when Bryant had a bad game, his positive mindset was still visible.

I mean, it's what he's been able to do, night in night out. It's like who he is as a person... It's what he brought to the table very single night, what his mindset was, he allowed people to think that with his mindset you can achieve anything.

The basketball legend’s performances and achievements over the course of two decades undoubtedly attracted lots of recognition. And it led to him getting inducted into the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame in 2021, an honor that the Knicks captain believes is well deserved.
