Bryant gave up and passed Air Jordan's role to Ross.
Something about Bryant
I will need one more, wholesale, I need one more. There was an estimate circulating before the Lakers faced the Bureau of broken dreams in a series of broken lines, but now it seems this line will only remain at the level of a dream. Since the Mavericks swept them, Bryant and Jordan no longer have anything to strive for, and he also lost his last chance to surpass Jordan.
Although Kobe Bryant once declared to the world in 2010: I will not be the next Michael Jordan, I want to start my own era... we can clearly see a bit of Jordan's shadow in Bryant's demeanor, whether it's the technical characteristics on the court, the stronger personality off the court, or even temperament, and even holding the O’Brien Cup is much like crying all the way, but without leading a three-time championship team, Bryant’s career cannot match the roughness of Jordan's. Perhaps next year, with Pau Gasol getting married and a woman by his side, the Lakers will return and let us use the next two rings as a possibility, but during the peak time of their ruling coalition, they couldn't continue to surpass Jordan, so Kobe Bryant could only give way to a great imitation of Jordan's identity!
The good news is, before Bryant actually gets old, the Lakers opened a new chapter, drawing a line completely different from Allen Iverson, Tracy McGrady, Vince Carter, and his ilk at the same time period, but such a role surpassing Jordan may torture those who come after. The trend now shows that among Bryant's Jordan 23 shoes, Rose is the best, at least judging from the first game of the season and the Eastern perspective, Ross is worthy of the title! Ross, a real man without fear.
