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

[DAF86]

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 s 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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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
