George: after I retire, Tatum will become the representative of the new flank player with both attack and defense.
Live broadcast, July 24 -recently, Clippers player Paul George was interviewed by The Athletic.
Speaking of his popularity among the younger generation, George said, “it is a great honor. The inspiration is due to Kobe. I grew up following him and I want to be the next version of Kobe.”
“But it’s cool to make the next generation the new version of me and see them push the game further than me and see them improve their game. The next wave of young players is also growing. Look at Jason Tatum. At the end of my career, Tatum will be the representative of the next flank player with both attack and defense.”
“Children will think Tatum is a person who can resonate with them and imitate his competition. This is the cycle of life and basketball. You know, everyone will respect someone; Everyone has been inspired by someone. You can see this in their competition. For me, the problem is how to help those children as Kobe helped me.”
