A Sports Illustrated poll of NBA players had Kobe Bryant second behind LeBron James as league’s most wanted as a teammate.
It’s a reflection of Bryant’s polarizing nature that he ranks this high in this poll yet also tied for third in a previously released poll asking players whom they’d least like to have on their teams.
James won this poll of 190 players with 32 percent of the vote, followed by Bryant (13 percent), Steve Nash (8), Kevin Garnett (7) and Chris Paul (7).
