Paul George: "I Idolize Kobe And Pattern My Game After Him"

[Koolaid_Man]

:lmao yet another new generation kid Idolizes Kobe and not Lebron....I imagine pretty fucking pathetic for the Kang...nobody wants to be like that ugly mofo...or Tammy Fissure for that matter :lol


The 23-year-old George has used Bryant as a basketball template en route to fulfilling his own limitless potential.

"Paul grew up idolizing Kobe," Pacers coach Frank Vogel told Reuters. "So much of the last two years (George has heard) stories about Kobe; about how Kobe works. They're legendary, we all know them. It's helped to establish (George's own) work ethic."


"I had a lot of growth from having (Shaw) and hearing about how Kobe prepares and gets ready for games," George said. "(Kobe) is somebody that plays both sides of the ball. He's willing to put everything on the line. I'm going to give everything I have, and try to affect the game in every way I can."

Of course you pattern your game after the best player that plays a similar game. No brainer.

:lmao he learned well from kobe to find a dominant big though

[Arnold Toht]

He stole his number too.

[DMX7]

Because he's old as shit.

[Juggity]

Paul George says he patterns his game after Kobe, but the facts indicate that he patterns his game after Lebron and other team-first, pass-first, defense-first small-forwards.

George knows the truth, of course. But he can't give credit to Lebron because Lebron is a conference rival and still, currently, the superior player.

Obviously, Kobe's nowhere near a rival at this point, so it makes more sense for George to give Kobe credit instead of Lebron.

Lebron is in his late 20's and Kobe is old as fuck of course there is more of a chance of having Kobe's fans on the NBA than Lebron ones.

[unforeseen]

Rape and snitching will be in his future.

[Koolaid_Man]

Spur fan salty over all things Kobe....Kobe got yall niggas trained :lol

[RsxPiimp]

Lebron is in his late 20's and Kobe is old as fuck of course there is more of a chance of having Kobe's fans on the NBA than Lebron ones.

Lebron's been in the league for a decade, He's been in the league long enough.


Players look up to Kobe because he's simply the best of his generation, his work ethic is unmatched and he has a plethora of moves and great fundamentals most players of this generation lack.


Even Lebron's teammate conceded the fact that Kobe is the best player of this era.

Ten years ago Paul George was 13 years old, that's old enough to already have a favourite player, tbh.

And Kobe is not better than Shaq, Duncan or Lebron so no, he isn't the best player of his generation I don't care what below average IQ niggas say.

Being better is subjective, there are so many ways to gauge it and it will be an endless cycle of pissing contest to prove what's true since this sport has never been about statistical numbers.

I don't know about below average IQ's, we're talking about GM's, players of past and present along with the most reputable journalists (Sports Illustrated, ESPN) picking Kobe as the best of the decade.

[KaiRMD1]

This is not good. The Pacers were looking like they had a great future but they are going to have an ol' sport who chucks balls and kills chemistry. smh

[Calispursfan11]

Lebron is effective but completely utilitarian. His moves are not as smooth as Kobe's by a long shot. Of course you'd want to look good (like Kobe) if you had the choice.

[whitemamba]

seriously, idk why they so butthurt tbh

How dumb are you? Of course they'd pick the guy who has 5 championships and 2 Finals MVPs over the guy who has 2 (or more likely, 1 or 0 when this question was asked). Why don't you wait till their careers are over over who the best player of the post-Jordan era is? Lebron is clearly the better player.

[ambchang]

You can't learn natural abilities but you can learn work ethic.

Kobe, for all his beta abilities, posed as an alpha and became an arguable top 15 of all time because of his work ethic, so George is smart to pattern his routine after Kobe.

Now if George can somehow get the front office to get the most dominant front line in the league for him, he's surpass Kobe.

Because SI and ESPN is out to rank players, not to sell a magazines and prove ratings by curtailing to the largest media market with known bandwagoning rioters.

Pacers have a good enough front court. They'll need Granger for the playoffs though.

[Stabula]

The best player of the generation wouldn't quit out on his team in the playoffs.

[Johnny RIngo]

The best player of the generation wouldn't quit out on his team in the playoffs.

Or win the majority of championships as a sidekick.

[Johnny RIngo]

And PG's defense is already better than Kobe's ever was so I'm not seeing the Bryant comparisons. Kobe played decent defense for two or three years in the early 2000s and has been getting by on his reputation ever since.

This. Lance is a wildcard IMO. When he's on he's unstoppable, a walking triple double. When he's off he's a train wreck, there's no middle ground with him
