Former Lakers star Kobe Bryant used to admire a former All-Star.
Former Los Angeles Lakers star Kobe Bryant was an admirer of all things basketball thoughout his entire life. He spent his childhood watching the NBA players and studying how to become just like them.
But Bryant also studied other players to learn footwork and other skills that he may need while on the court. One in particular was former Philadelphia 76ers star Julius Irving. The late Bryant spoke with Slam about Irving in 2008 and admitted that he wished he had some skills that Irving had.Bryant told
Bryant was a special player himself but it was due to him learning from the older players. He watched players like Irving on the floor and then put that work into practice in his own playing days."He had a long first step. He had a lot of moves when he got around the basket. He knew how to use his body to create contact and still be able to get the shot off. As a kid you don’t know what you are doing, but you just try to mimic what he’s doing.
