Kobe Bryant: Messi will be the best in football history Empty Kobe Bryant: Messi will be the best in football history

Los Angeles Lakers star Kobe Bryant has voiced his belief that Barcelona star Lionel Messi will become the best player in the history of football.

The 25-year-old became only the second player to win the Ballon d'Or for three years running in January, emulating Michel Platini's feat in the eighties.

As the United States' Olympic basketball team prepares for Tuesday's friendly contest against Spain in Barcelona, Bryant has reiterated that he is in awe of the Argentine prodigy's talent.
PLAYER PROFILE: LIONEL MESSI
Barcelona's sensational star striker


"I hope that I will be able to see Messi, to tell him that I want him," he told reporters.

"He is prepared to be the best player in all history."

The five-time NBA champion then admitted that he is a big fan of Serie A football after spending part of his childhood in Italy.

"Diego Maradona was sensational, when I grew up in Italy, Serie A was the best," he added.

"Marco van Basten, Ruud Gullit, Frank Rijkaard, Roberto Baggio, Paolo Maldini, Maradona at Napoli. Serie A was great."

Since making his Barcelona debut in 2004, Messi has won five Liga titles, two Copas del Rey, three Champions Leagues, and became the club's all-time record goalscorer.

Watched Serie A growing up and actually knows about football :bow:

He's a Milan and Barca fan (deceived), he and Gasol speak Spanish and Italian during games to confuse people.

Also as a testament to his footballing past, he probably has the best footwork of a perimeter player in the history of the game, another guy who played football (Olajuwon) has the best post footwork of all time.

It's interesting to see how alot of the top athletes often have crossover sports. For example Federer could have picked any number of sports but choose tennis.

Kobe is 34 and carrying multiple injuries.

He grew up as a Milan fan, but was converted into a die hard Barca fan by ronaldinhos magic!

His new shoes that came out a few weeks ago proves it.. :bow:
