Kobe Brown grew up watching Kobe Bryant and the Lakers while modeling his game after Magic Johnson's play. Is he a star in making for the Clippers?
The influence is unmistakable. It is also far from the only one that led Brown to become a 6-foot-8 forward the Clippers drafted to help keep their championship window open longer by adding youth and skill into one of the NBA’s older rosters.“We always had one rule here,” Greg said, “and that was be the type of player that people want to play with.”
For every clip of the famous Bryant that Brown mimicked from afar, he picked up more by observing his family. He tagged along to watch his father’s pick-up games as a child and remembers noticing the way his father, a former college guard, passed. But the blueprint, Greg said, was having his sons, including younger brother Kaleb, watch highlights of a different Laker.
The scope of influence on Kobe Brown began to extend as he grew. Beginning in sixth grade, Brown started training in Huntsville at a facility led by Kelly McCarty, a former professional whom Brown calls his “mentor.” McCarty once told the Kansas City Star that he noticed Brown’s dogged determination to perfect new drills, and the way he would coach Kaleb in the gym. Brown wore No. 24 because of Bryant in high school and in college at Missouri but chose No.
When Martin was dismissed, a new coach, Dennis Gates, brought with him an offense that opened space for cuts and shooting by stationing more players — sometimes all five — around the three-point line. For Brown, it felt like a return to his comfort zone, affecting games as a passer, dribbler and scorer on offense.The title window is closing for the Kawhi Leonard-Paul George star combination.
