Excerpt from ‘Lakers: How Kobe Bryant Served As Long-Term Mentor To Young Former Teammate’ article by Alex Kirschenbaum:
Los Angeles Lakers legend Kobe Bryant served as a mentor to many of the young players he was surrounded with during his final years on the club. Now-Minnesota Timberwolves starting point guard DAngelo Russell was selected by LA with the second pick in the 2015 draft out of OSU. His first NBA season would be Bryants last.
Recently, Brandon Scoop B Robinson of Bovada Sports spoke with Travis Singleton of Sneaker Reporter about Russells relationship with Bryant, which apparently continued long after Russell had been traded to the Brooklyn Nets and out of LA in 2017.
You could tell [Russell] has that Mamba Mentality, you know, Singleton said. And his vibe with the Mentality is ice in my veins. So at the end of the day, just being around Kobe, his presence when youre around greatness all the time, youre going to want to be great, you know what Im saying? So I think the time [with the Lakers] really helped out, and I know Kobe was a huge mentor to him, somebody that he definitely talked to on the daily... picking his brain and stuff when he was in LA. But I cant think of another player off the top of my head there, Im pretty sure there are, but I cant think of another player thats been in both of the big time markets, LA and then New York.
