Tell me what's wrong from trying to model the best player you've ever seen? Can someone beside myself please give me an honest answer? MJ revolutionized the game of basketball and what he's done in his career gave hope to those that follows... So much hope, that we all have dream of being like Mike... I wasn't a fan of MJ growing up because he smashed my teams and all of the other players I was rooting for to get a ring, lol... But one thing I can't deny is that he was one bad mutha**** excuse my language.
I say that to say this..... How many people or NBA players have been named the next MJ or pretty much try to imitate his game? You can probably count for days, right? And how of them came close? The point is there will never be another Micheal Jordan but I guarantee you that folks trying to play like won't ever stop. As Kobe Bryant stated, which the haters fail to acknowledge, is that of course he modeled his game after Jordan because he wanted to play like him. But not only Jordan, but all of the Greats like Bird and Magic too. Kobe's a student of the game and he was very fortunate to come after Jordan.

If you think about it, who did MJ had to look up to? I'm not that old but when I look through history, I don't see a shooting guard that dominated the game. It was mostly the big guys but I'm pretty sure an old school guru will answer my question and tell me otherwise. Kobe studied film, put in the work, & it's amazing how identical they look in that video. Each generation from here on out will benefit from film watching and the history of MJ and the other greats that ever play the game. And We're also starting to see things that we aren't accustomed to like the play of Lebron. As Big and fast as he is to do the things he do.
Bottom line, athletes are going to get better and one day it'll be someone, maybe one of your grandchildren, that will take basketball to a whole different level. I just hope to be around to see it..
