McGrady: The topic of replacing Kobe should not be said to replace the word He is my brother I will not disrespect him

Not long ago, when McGrady participated in the "First Take" program, he said, "If I replace Kobe with me, can't I win the Lakers with O'Neal?" This incident aroused heated discussions among fans at the time. Recently, McGrady's personal misinterpretation remarks were made.

"When I mentioned those comments, I shouldn't say the word 'replace' at all. What I want to say is that it's not that I want to 'replace' Kobe, I don't want to say that. Everyone knows that Kobe is my good brother and my buddy. I can't respect my brother so disrespect."

"When I played in Orlando, O'Neal and Kobe were achieving three consecutive championships. O'Neal is the most dominant player in the sport. He averaged 38 points and 16 rebounds in the finals, and I averaged 30 points at the age of 21, so I think if I had a big partner with that big guy, I would definitely win the championship."
