'Tough Question' – San Antonio Spurs Star Chose 5-Time NBA Champion Over Tim Duncan

Given the tough competition between the two, it made it harder for the San Antonio Spurs star to make his choice. Eventually, Wemby named the late Lakers star as the better all-time player.

“Tim Duncan or Kobe [Bryant]?” Wemby read. “Tough question. Probably Kobe, all-time.

However, it didn’t take long for Wemby to retract his answer.

“Actually, I don’t know.”

Both players have made serious contributions to the NBA, making it tougher to make a choice.

Hakeem Olajuwon initially rejected the workout request from the San Antonio Spurs star

This offseason, the San Antonio Spurs star was active. He traveled, worked out with NBA legends and enjoyed his free time. His recent workout was with former Houston Rockets star Hakeem Olajuwon. The Dream is known to have worked out with several other players.

Bryant, LeBron James, Carmelo Anthony and Dwight Howard all took time off their offseason to learn from the two-time champion. Now, that wisdom was passed on to Wemby, who was eager to learn from one of the best centers of all time.

However, Olajuwon revealed that he initially rejected the workout request from Wemby. According to him, he told the youngster that he didn’t need the workout and that he had all the tools to be better.

“He asked about that by the way, I told him, ‘You got everything already… just have fun out there.’ He has everything, and more. I said, ‘You don’t need it’, he said, ‘Well, I’d love to learn anyway’,” the former Rockets star said.

Olajuwon was impressed by how humble the young star was, especially the way he was attentive to what he taught him.
