KOBE VOTED FAVORITE PLAYER IN THE LEAGUE AMONGST ROOKIES......
Teddy Roosevelt:
It's because all the rookies currently entering the league all grew up watching Kobe play.
Sccit:
or maybe because they realize kobe is hands down this generations GOAT? ever notice how players always pick kobe....it's the media/casual fans who ride lebron's nuts, but when u ask an actual player who plays the game who they're takin, most of the time u'll hear the name kobe......
and these kids comin in are 19 years old....they grew up watching lebron more than they grew up watchin kobe. lebron grew up watchin kobe......it comes down to kobe havin the more respectable game, achievements, accolades, with an unmatched resume by any active player. not because "they grew up watching him", teddy, my boy.

If they're 19, they probably started watching baskteball around 10 years ago. In 2003 Kobe was in his prime, setting records and later winning championships. LeBron was just entering the NBA and was later chocking in the playoffs.

yea, but when ur 10 years old and a sensation like lebron comes along, ur more likely to be excited to watch him grow as a player, keepin tabs on him, watchin his first games, seein him develop etc...there is far more relation in that than being 10 and watching someone who u didnt really grow up watchin, cuz u were too young to see them when they were comin into the league.
which explains cham bein a lebron fan, and me bein a kobe fan....i was 10 when kobe played his first game for my lakeshow, and have followed him ever since. it feels more personal when uv watched them grow....at that time, jordan was on top of the league, but i wouldnt say i grew up watching him as much as i grew up watchin kobe. it's actually common sense, if u think about it.
Meho:
When you're a kid, you're rooting for the top dog, not some fucking rookie. My gf 11 year old brother is watching Lebron like a hawk and not Irving. When I was a kid I watched Kobe, I didn't give 2 fucks about Lebron. Why would you care for somebody that hasn't done shit yet, over somebody who's at the top of his game RIGHT NOW.
