It is no mystery that I am not a Kobe Bryant fan. There are some that still believe that he is the best player to play the game, yes better than Lebron and even better than Michael Jordan. After watching him play against the Suns in the playoffs, that is an argument that can be made. I have always thought he is a great player. It is the little stuff on the court he does, or the stuff off the court he does that bothered me. like the teeth mashing thing he does a lot lately when he is playing well. Or when he grabs his jersey and pulls it out to show you that he is the best. In the last game, as the Suns were losing and the clock was winding down, Kobe ran around the court, arms out like a bird, acting like he was flying. Those are the things on the court. The whole incident off the court when he was accused of raping the young lady in Colorado. that bothers me. The charges were dropped and she settled out of court. I wasn't there, nobody knows the situation except the two of them. Could he be innocent? Sure. It's possible. What bothered me even more was his wife. She was made a fool. What did she do? Did she leave him? Nope. Kobe made up by giving here a multi-million dollar diamond ring.
Anyway, the point of this post is not to bash Kobe, it is to share a video of Kobe that was on espn.com. It is an interview he gave recently where he talks about how he mirrored his moves and his game from other great players. He actually seems humble and gives credit to the other greats that played before him and players he played with.

Watch it and share with me what you think. I am still not a Kobe fan, but....
