As long as the player in the league plays like a senior player, the fans will give him the nickname of "XX successor". There had been many Jordan successors in the 90s, such as "Penny" Hardaway, Grant Hill, Starkhouse, etc., but due to injuries or other reasons, they were all watered one by one. However, as the greatest scoring guard of the new century, Kobe Bryant's disciples are full of peach and plum, and today we will take a look at the five stars who are known as "Kobe's successors", how are they now.
Booker
Booker, the suns' star, has gotten rid of the embarrassing situation of not being able to win the ball in the past two years, and not only led the Suns to the finals last season, but also currently ranks second in the league this season. And Booker himself is also a Kobe fan, not only wearing Kobe sneakers in key games many times, but also in the NBA's 75th anniversary short film, there are also shots of a separate tribute to Kobe. In addition, Every move of Booker has the feeling of Kobe Bryant, which can be said to be worshipped to the extreme.
Tatum
Tatum is also one of Kobe's disciples and successors, before Tatum entered the league, he was a Kobe fan and very much wanted to join the Los Angeles Lakers, but in the end he missed the Lakers with a 1 pick gap. However, although he did not join the idol's team, but Tatum also received the advice of the idol, Tatum often practiced with Kobe Bryant in the offseason, Kobe also provided him with a lot of advice, but also let Tatum's average score per game from 13.9 points in the rookie season to 26.2 points today, Tatum's back jump shot can also see a lot of Kobe's figure, it is estimated that this is a word and deed.
irving
Owen, who entered the league as a champion in 11 years, is also a loyal hardcore "Komi". In the face of the interview, Owen said more than once that Kobe Bryant was his mentor, and after Kobe's death, Owen also replaced his social media avatar with a Kobe logo. Although Irving's playing style and position are not very similar to Kobe Bryant, from Irving's game screen, we can also find a lot of Kobe's figure.
George
To the surprise of many fans, paul George, the current home star of the Clippers, is also a loyal Kobe fan, and was also known as Kobe's successor. You know, when he was first selected by the Pacers, Paul George chose the jersey number 24, the reason is because of Kobe. Later, George recalled the sweetest moment of his NBA career, and it was the first time he was shaken off against Kobe! After Kobe's death, George sent 5 social media messages in a row to make people move.
Levine
As the No. 13 show of that year's draft, LaVine was also known as Kobe's successor that year, and LaVine was also a full-fledged spring man when he debuted, plus the two drafts were in the same order, and LaVine naturally became Kobe's successor. But in fact, Raven is also a loyal Komi, in the interview Lavin said that the reason why he chose the No. 8 jersey is because of Kobe, and his style of play often inspires me. So it seems that Kobe's 5 successors are all All-Stars, really peach and plum all over the world! （ikuet）
