Kobe claimed that his idol was Johnson, but he was imitating and chasing Jordan. Anyone with a discerning eye knew that the man with a shining heart in Kobe was Jordan. Kobe In fact, I never admitted to learning from Jordan in my early years. This is actually quite understandable, because my self-esteem will be stronger when I am young.

For example, Kobe used to stick out his tongue like Jordan during games. There is a kind of love called imitation. Everything you do has a panoramic view.

So many Kobe fans will attack the other party when they hear others say that Kobe imitates Jordan. It wasn't until Kobe retired that Kobe himself revealed the answer to this question. Kobe gave us a simple answer: In an industry, two people fall in love and kill each other on the court, and two people off the court are always connected. How many people remember Jordan's last All-Star Game after his retirement. Kobe and Jordan came and went, as if announcing the end of an era and the arrival of a new era. After Jordan retired, Kobe would also consult Jordan privately about his experience in leading teams and watching games. Even before retiring, Kobe was seen having dinner together.

Jordan said The reason why Kobe is like his little brother is definitely not just a casual comment, nor is it a polite comment in this situation, but he really thinks so. Although Kobe himself did not admit it, he actually always regarded Jordan as his big brother because /kloc-. You might as well think about it another way. When we are Jordan, we retire from high positions, and when we want to come back to help the new team bring new people, the vast majority of NBA stars are not welcome, but all kinds of people who want to step on your shoulders.

Also, Jordan was injected with the flu for three days before the game and was very weak. I was going to go through the game in the All-Star Game and forgot about paddling. But I didn't expect Kobe to play very seriously. Jordan didn't look down on Kobe because he was a rookie, but seriously planned to pass on Kobe, teach him by words and deeds, and demonstrate Kobe's fadeaway jumper skills on the court.
