The later Lakers legend Kobe Bryant was not only one of the greatest players of all time, but his performances were able to inspire other players and crowds, even rival fans.
One example of this comes out of the Indiana Pacer's big Myles Turner who recently sat down for a podcast and told a hilarious story on Pacers fans booing their team for beating the Black Mamba during his farewell season.
Via Run Your Race & Tidal League: "I remember we were playing against Kobe Bryant my rookie year... It's like crunch time now and we're starting to get down and Kobe leads an entire comeback by himself. It's a single-digit game— we're up double-digits the entire game.
He scores 4 or 5 possessions in a row, crowd's going crazy. 'Ahhhhhh!' [Paul George] comes up and hits a crazy three. 'Boooooo!' Our f*cking crowd, bro... We won the game... they wanted the Lakers to win so bad, bro."
Not only in the NBA world or even in the USA, but Kobe Bryant is beloved all over the world by different athletes. Bryant was a great role model for anyone, and it was recently showcased when the superstar Tennis player Novak Djokovic won his 24 grand slam, made history, and gave a tribute to Kobe by wearing a customized shirt with a picture of him and Kobe Bryant and the No. 24.
