George talked about his popularity among young people: it is a great honor to be inspired by Kobe. I grew up following his example.
Live broadcast, July 24 -recently, Clippers player Paul George was interviewed by The Athletic.
Speaking of his popularity among the younger generation, George said, “To be honest, this is a bit embarrassing. But I must attribute my inspiration to that person, who inspired me when I was a child, who was Kobe. I want to follow his example. I want to be his next version. When I have the opportunity to reach the current level, I hope people will regard me as a “Kobe Bryant product ‘. I grew up in Southern California and watched Kobe grow up every day. He was the one who influenced the competition. Now, the wheel of fate continues to turn, and I have become the player respected, admired and wanted to be by the children, which is very humble.”
“I play and attack in Kobe’s way, which is to try to get better, try to overcome every defect in the game, try to make contributions at both ends of the attack and defense, and become a competitor. I am very lucky to have fluency, creativity and God-given talent to compete at a high level at both ends of attack and defense. Therefore, it is an honor for those children to respect me.”
