GV: Nicely, it is apparent that the primary man Michael Jordan. I grew up with him, despite the fact that I used to be very younger. The rationale I like Jordan is as a result of he did it on and off the court docket. However he is a distinct breed. His mindset was completely different. He did not wish to be like anybody else, not even his friends. If you actually perceive who MJ was as a participant, you possibly can see his competitiveness and the way far forward of the pack he was. There have been good gamers and there have been nice gamers, however at the moment he was the tremendous nice participant.
The second man, my idol, my hero and somebody who means every thing to me, is Kobe Bryant. Sadly, he’s now not with us bodily, however his spirit lives on. The Mamba Mentality is a lifestyle. Kobe’s strategy, schooling and drive have been extraordinary. He’s the definition of a winner.
For me, Kobe is much more essential than Michael by way of life-style. He was a distinct individual. He spoke three or 4 completely different languages and even spoke Spanish to me a few occasions. Coming from Caracas, Venezuela, and enjoying towards your hero – cash cannot purchase that. I do not take that with no consideration.
After which there’s LeBron James. Some folks could not like him, however you possibly can’t deny he’s a winner. Going to the NBA Finals eight occasions in a row – Kobe and Michael didn’t try this. What LeBron is doing now, being the face of the league and amplifying basketball worldwide, is one thing that nobody has executed earlier than. He’s additionally main by instance off the court docket and working his enterprise. For my part, he’s higher behaved than Messi or Cristiano Ronaldo.
The fourth man is Steph Curryand perhaps it is as a result of I am a guard. What he is executed is unbelievable. I educated with him earlier than he acquired drafted, performed towards him in faculty and within the NBA, and now his household is like my household. I used to be with Beneath Armour too, and I used to be the second signed after Brandon Jennings. Folks don’t at all times present it, however I’m pleased with it. Steph is the definition of profitable in each method – nice persona, nice man, finest shooter within the recreation. He set a tempo in basketball that no person else did. Taking pictures from the half-court – no coach would have wished that earlier than, however Steph made it occur. He modified the sport.
Final however not least, Kevin Durant. Folks criticize him on Twitter or no matter, however KD is a winner. He is most likely a High 3 proper now, and talent-wise, he is most likely one of the best participant within the league. You’ll be able to’t take something away from him. He is a soft-spoken child with an enormous coronary heart and work ethic. He likes to win.
KD runs his enterprise off the sphere, which is spectacular. He is aware of the way to use his platform. The largest factor about KD is that he doesn’t wish to be like everybody else. He desires to voice his opinion, and why not? I might do the identical. One factor I find out about KD is that he’s very respectful. I performed with him, I do know his household, and I understand how exhausting it was for him rising up.
Folks anticipate stars like him to stay a sure method now, however KD doesn’t match into anybody’s field. He speaks his thoughts, whether or not it’s on Twitter or anyplace else. Folks don’t at all times prefer it, however he’s a human being and it’s important to respect that. He’s not going to fake to be somebody he’s not. He’s loyal to his roots and his household and that’s why he’s a winner.
