D'Angelo Russell was born in 1996, so he couldn't be more than 10 when Tracy McGrady, Vince Carter, and Allen Iverson were at their peak. Regardless, when he called McGrady the GOAT, he violated the No. 1 Kobe Bryant Law: Never use a basketball-related superlative in a sentence without the words "Kobe," "Bryant," "Black," or "Mamba"—or some combination of the four. Thus, Russell shall be smote by Kobe's hand before he turns 21. Damn shame.

Or maybe not. Bryant just tweeted him. It's all good.
