As Kevin Durant looks back on his time around Hall of Famer Kobe Bryant, the 34-year-old comes back to one memorable piece of advice that he learned from the all-time great. “Really just don’t be a crybaby,” Durant said Wednesday after Brooklyn’s 122-116 win over the Charlotte Hornets. “I was at that age at 23 where I thought the world revolved around me. And I know we’ve talked a lot about Kobe, he was real humble in how he approached the game, how he approached his teammates, just life in general. So I learned just from watching his movements. “He was an example, he didn’t say much but he was an example just by how he moved and I try to emulate, like I said, him and Mike are two dudes I emulate on and off the court what they do and I know it will make me better.”

“I just tried to copy everything (Kobe) does.”
Steve Clifford spent last season with the Nets and said Kevin Durant reminds him of Kobe Bryant. He also said KD reinforced the idea that the best players “want to be coached.”

I’ll never be a fan of just giving someone the ball and hoping he can create a good shot on crucial late-game possessions. What qualifies as good offense early in the game is the same as in the final minute. Unless of course you’ve got a Michael Jordan or Larry Bird on your team. – 10:33 PM

Timeout, Jacque Vaughn. The Nets have blown their 23-point lead. They are holding on, 113-112, against the Hornets with 3:22 to go in the fourth. The sad reality is this is why you can’t let KD sit on the bench too long. The Hornets built momentum in the minutes he was out. – 9:36 PM

“He’s a lot like Kobe to me,” Clifford said about Durant before Wednesday’s game. “Their makeup is different in many ways, but on the court, they’re very similar in terms of the way they work, and they’re both students of the game. When I think of Kobe I think of passion, when I think of Kevin, I think of passion. So two elite players who care deeply about the results more than they do like individual numbers.” Durant appreciated Clifford’s words when told about them postgame. “It’s hard to fill them shoes and be a Kobe Bryant,” Durant said. “But Kob is somebody I’ve been around and still study to this day. And basically I just try to copy everything he does, same with Michael Jordan. Those two guys just set the tone for everything you want to be as a basketball player. So I just simply try to copy them as much as I can.” -via ESPN / December 8, 2022

The Brooklyn Nets star was asked about the Yankees securing Aaron Judge’s services with a nine-year, $360 million contract after their team’s win over the Charlotte Hornets on Wednesday night. Safe to say he had other things on his mind. “I’m a Nationals fan. I really don’t care about Aaron Judge at all,” said Kevin Durant with a deadpan expression on his face. -via Clutch Points / December 8, 2022
Davis scored 44 points to open the trip, leading the Lakers to a big win over the Bucks in Milwaukee. He’s the first Laker to score 40 or more in back-to-back games since Kobe Bryant did it in 2013. “Everything is going well for us right now,” Davis said. “Guys are shooting the ball well. Guys are communicating on defense. We’re doing it all as a group. But for me, it’s just being locked in, staying with a mindset of being aggressive, not taking the game off and coming out with the mindset of dominating. -via Los Angeles Times / December 5, 2022
