Fox Fondly Remembers Kobe Bryant…
Spurs guard De’Aaron Fox had a life-changing chat with Lakers legend Kobe Bryant, and he’s not the only one feeling the Kobe magic. Having signed a big four-year deal with the Spurs, Fox continues to channel the Mamba Mentality on court, possibly running faster than a cheetah on roller skates! On the All the Smoke podcast, he shared how Kobe’s lessons guide him off the court too, illustrating what a colossal mentor Kobe was. Fox isn’t alone in cherishing Kobe’s teachings, as the legend’s work with his daughter’s team showed he could coach a cactus to shoot a three-pointer!
Nearly a decade after Kobe’s last game, his influence still echoes, with players like Steph Curry wielding the Mamba Mindset like a secret weapon. Fox counts himself lucky to have crossed paths with this once-in-a-lifetime figure. Meanwhile, icon Luka Doncic confesses that meeting Kobe was like trying to compliment a unicorn—incredibly intimidating! Doncic, much like Fox, holds Kobe as a personal idol, and both continue to draw inspiration from Kobe’s legendary career. Subscribe to our channel for more interviews and cool content!
