Milwaukee Bucks veteran swingman Jared Dudley was at ESPN on Wednesday and, in the spirit of
his #nextcareer claim, he did not hold back on his opinions.
When asked about the most overrated player during
an appearance on The Herd with Colin Cowherd, Dudley
quickly named Carmelo Anthony.
But perhaps Dudley's most eye-opening take
was on Kobe Bryant, whose shoot-first (and second, and third) ways, Dudley said, are why "it'll [take] a while for the Lakers to get good, because no stars ... want to go there."
Naturally, there was some backlash -- a little about Melo, but mostly about Kobe. Dudley addressed it.
You gotta love the Lakers fan! You gotta understand its goin to take a very unique Star to come FA, KD and Russ. No hate just keep in it 100
