Bill asking that question makes him look so dumb. It's well documented that Jayson is a huge Kobe stan and bill is a Celtics fan. For him to sit like he didnt know that is so disingenuous
the crater face point guard on your team does exactly that
Kobe is skilled
Lebron is a physical specimen
Kids are gonna idolized the skilled player over a guy who gets by being bigger than everyone
He jacked all of MJ's moves and swag and gave it a name. Makes sense 
@ Bill Simmons getting aggy
"Does he just talk about mamba mentality and stuff, or did he actually help you with footwork?"
FOH Billy
meanwhile only guys like Lonzo like Lebron
the crater face point guard on your team does exactly that
maybe that's why he can't shoot
He jacked all of MJ's moves and swag and gave it a name. Makes sense
so he was suppose to jack David Wingate's moves?

He knows he’s being petty since he’s a die hard Boston fan, he’s taking subliminal shots at Lebron and Kobe with that question.
These folks can’t fool me , wade already told him he might break his arm next
Donovan Mitchell admits to not growing up a Kobe Bryant fan, but says the Lakers great is one of his ‘favorites’ now
Mamba mentality is what drove his playoff performance

you realize players can have more than one player that they like while having a main idol?
