You don’t have to love an opponent to realize he is a very good player and want him on your team.
Case in point….
Here is what an anonymous eastern conference point guard had to say about Kyrie Irving.
An elite Eastern Conference point guard told another GM in pursuit of Irving: “I don’t like him personally, but I hate playing against him. I’d trade a lot to get him.”
The question begs which point guard was it?
Try to take a guess.
