A Combination of Michael Jordan and Penny Hardaway

I ain't gon lie tho....I'm shook at the thought of the Lakers being in tank race with Philly It looks much more enticing to the NBA to let the Lakers get the number 1 pick and get Embiid, Wiggins or Parker pushing Philly out the race Kobe come back

That's what yall get for booing him in '01.

What? You think cuz Cleveland is the kings of that tank life that GOAT franchise can't win them wars? This GOAT franchise tank got no limit, we bout it. Embiid gon have the killing ways of Kobe and the skills of Kareem. Brehs is right, Exum would work best with another young back court player to work off of. I don't like the idea of him being Kobe's "replacement".

I know you heard the story about him killing a Lion in Africa.

That's what I heard.

How could he not be destined to be the next great GOAT franchise big?

Bynum was the prototype. Kareem has proven that he knows how to teach big men willing to learn. Embiid with Kareem during the season, Hakeem/Duncan for a few summers, he'll be the best player in basketball and a multiple time champion.

Canberra schoolboy Dante Exum plans to sit down with Kobe Bryant to learn the secrets behind the superstar's successful leap from high school to the NBA.

LA Laker great Bryant became the first guard in history to bypass college and be drafted straight out of high school in 1996. Exum, who completed high school last year, is preparing for a similarly rapid rise to the big stage after announcing last week he would forego college and nominate for June's NBA Draft.

The point guard has signed with Bryant's manager Rob Pelinka, who has told the 18-year-old that Bryant is willing to give him advice on how to handle the leap. The Lakers, in the midst of a disappointing season, have already contacted Australia basketball great Luc Longley to discuss Exum, who led Canberra's Lake Ginninderra College to last year's national schoolboys title.

''A reason why I signed with the agent I'm with is he has Kobe Bryant, and he's been through this when he came into the NBA,'' Exum said.

''I guess having him as a mentor who can guide me through what he did and how he became successful is something which is pretty good. I haven't chatted to him yet, but the agent said Kobe knows who I am and he said he'd definitely have a chat to me.''

Exum ended up choosing Rob Pelinka, whose main client is Kobe Bryant—one of the Aussie's two favorite players (the other is Derrick Rose). Bryant's high school-to-NBA journey, his global popularity and endorsements (like Turkish Airlines) and the worldly personality of the Los Angeles Lakers All-Star—he lived in Italy when he was younger—were all captivating to the international basketball phenom. Back in early December, he talked about the Bryant effect.

"I’ve been watching Kobe since I was a boy," he said. "Even Kobe was a player that went straight from high school to the league, so I’ve definitely been watching his documentaries and stuff, seeing why he chose to go straight there and he adapted. So I have, in a way, been trying to look up to Kobe. He said that it was always his dream to play in the NBA, so that made his choice kind of easy."

He's like the light skin Kobe and he'll also be a Laker too.

So which teams could use Exum? While Livingston said "really any team because he has so much talent and so much upside," Exum has two in mind: the Lakers and Orlando Magic. With the Lakers, interestingly enough, that's his go-to squad in NBA 2K14—"You would need to play a whole lot to get on my level," he said—and that was his team's name during the tournament.

"Definitely L.A. is one option," he said. "I’ve been to L.A. many times and I love the city, and it is a great city. If I get the opportunity to go to L.A. and play for the Lakers, I know I’ll have love for the city. And their fans are loyal and they have the rivalry with the Clippers. But just to be in an environment where you have a great player like Kobe, where you have a mentor in a way as a rookie, I think that would be the best option."

he looks like the most worthy dude to take over the throne from the gawd. both grew up outside the states to fathers who were ballers. both are 6'6" guards with crazy quickness and athleticism. both made the jump to the pros from high school. and dude profile here looks like Kobe.
