"Kobe said I only know how to pad my stats with championships. He wants to go one-on-one to see who's better at scoring."
Su Xi relayed this to his teammates and coaches on the bench.
It was an absurd statement. There was stat-padding, sure, but who had ever heard of championship-padding?
But this was the Knicks.
Any coach with half a brain wouldn't be coaching the Knicks. Isaiah Thomas's expression was grim. He looked at Su Xi and said, "That's a very serious accusation indeed. You have to teach him a lesson."
"That's right, Jack. Even when it comes to a scoring battle, you won't lose to him," Zach Randolph said earnestly. "If you can only pad championships but can't score, that's actually kind of embarrassing. I've got your back all the way, Jack!"
"You're Jack the Goat, you have to destroy him. Does Kobe really think winning the scoring title with 36 points per game is such a big deal?"
