James Harden was always a fan of Kobe Bryant and the Lakers
“Being from LA and being a Lakers fan watching him grow up and win several championships and his passion and love and what he did for the game of basketball, I think the world, you know, feels the same way, but that’s why I started playing basketball,” Harden added.
Harden also mentioned that he acquired many skills from Kobe and fell in love with the game because of him.
“The skill set and things that I’ve learned, I kind of picked up on my own, but as far as falling in love with the game, it’s definitely been Kobe.” Harden continued.
