Kobe Bryant no longer NBA's top shooting guard, general managers say

[insidehoops]

Kobe Bryant now has something else to use as motivation on social media.

The Lakers guard -- whose "1225" Twitter avatar is presumably a reference to a pair of perceived slights by ESPN, which rated the Lakers the 12th-best team in the Western Conference and Bryant the 25th-best player in the NBA -- has been ranked the second-best shooting guard in the league in an anonymous survey of all 30 general managers released by NBA.com

Lol. They're only saying this because of Kobe's injury. But we'll see.

I think SG has become one of the weakest positions in the NBA. There's not a lot of good ones to choose from. I think people just got scared about Kobe's injury and threw another name out there.
