I'm starting my own thread....the original thread on this topic deflected from what it truly should have been about...Kobe Fucking Bryant :toast It shows you the power of the man.... (No Timo)
The 2013-2014 rookie class was interviewed at the Rookie Transition Program on a variety of subjects, including who their favorite player is. It appears the age of Kobe Bryant (http://www.cbssports.com/nba/players/playerpage/6496/kobe-bryant) continues and that LeBron James (http://www.cbssports.com/nba/players/playerpage/400553/lebron-james) has not yet become the icon of a generation. After James won in 2012, the Black Mamba made a comeback this year.
1: Kobe Bryant, L.A. Lakers (http://www.cbssports.com/nba/teams/page/LAL/los-angeles-lakers) -- 21.2 percent
2: LeBron James, Miami -- 15.2 percent
T-3rd: Kevin Durant (http://www.cbssports.com/nba/players/playerpage/1231866/kevin-durant), Oklahoma City & Dirk Nowitzki (http://www.cbssports.com/nba/players/playerpage/20622/dirk-nowitzki), Dallas -- 12.1 percent
T-5th: Kevin Garnett (http://www.cbssports.com/nba/players/playerpage/6581/kevin-garnett), Brooklyn & Chris Paul (http://www.cbssports.com/nba/players/playerpage/555969/chris-paul), L.A. Clippers -- 9.1 percent
Others receiving votes: Carmelo Anthony (http://www.cbssports.com/nba/players/playerpage/400526/carmelo-anthony), New York; Vince Carter (http://www.cbssports.com/nba/players/playerpage/20595/vince-carter), Dallas; Tim Duncan (http://www.cbssports.com/nba/players/playerpage/6552/tim-duncan), San Antonio; James Harden (http://www.cbssports.com/nba/players/playerpage/1685255/james-harden), Houston; Kawhi Leonard (http://www.cbssports.com/nba/players/playerpage/1715792/kawhi-leonard), San Antonio; Steve Nash (http://www.cbssports.com/nba/players/playerpage/6715/steve-nash), L.A. Lakers; Dwyane Wade (http://www.cbssports.com/nba/players/playerpage/400578/dwyane-wade), Miami
Worth noting: LeBron won his second straight championship, but couldn't retain his spot as the rookies' favorite player. As Kobe nears the end of his career, he still gets love from the kids.
