Richard Hamilton Says He Was ‘Low-Key Scared’ of Facing Kobe Bryant

To the average observer, Kobe Bryant always looked like the most intimidating player on the court—and it turns out his opponents felt the same way.

Former Pistons All-Star Richard Hamilton said Tuesday that he was “low-key scared” when he got on the floor with Kobe. Hamilton, who works for CBS Sports these days, spoke about the network’s ranking of the top 15 players in NBA history and took issue with Bryant coming in at No. 10.

Yes, we’re at the point in the sports shutdown where outlets are posting random rankings of NBA players and using them to start arguments, but Hamilton’s comments about Kobe are still interesting.
