Excerpt from ‘What Kevin Durant learned from Kobe Bryant: ‘Don’t be a crybaby’’ article by Robert Marvi:
Today’s generation of NBA players look up to late Los Angeles Lakers legend Kobe Bryant not only as an icon but also as a leader to emulate.
Several of the game’s best players in particular have made it clear how much they love and revere the five-time world champion and two-time Olympic gold medalist.
One of them is Kevin Durant, who has battled over the past decade to try to become the best player in the league. He has his share of critics, but his game and talent, not to mention his accomplishments, are undeniable.
Durant recently talked about one important thing he learned from Bryant.
“Really just don’t be a crybaby,” Durant said. “I was at that age, at 23, where I thought the world revolved around me. I know we talk a lot about Kobe – he was real humble how he approached the game, how he approached his teammates — just life in general. I just learned just from watching his movements, he was an example. He didn’t say much but he was an example by how he moved. I try to emulate him and Mike (Michael Jordan) – two dudes that I emulate on and off the court what they do. It’ll only make me better.”
