Heroes cherish each other! Pierce praised Kobe as the second Jordan, saying that defending him is very stressful

NBA veteran star and Celtics star Paul Pierce chatted about his views on Kobe on the "SPEAK" program, which attracted the attention of many fans. Pierce has been struggling in the NBA for many years, going through various games, and fighting against various powerful figures; therefore, his evaluation of Kobe is quite important.

Pearce was full of emotion when she talked about defending Kobe, and said that the boss was under pressure. He recalled that he was playing against Kobe, and Kobe was at his peak and he still won the MVP in that season. Pierce said with a wry smile that he couldn't sleep at night when he fought against a player as powerful as Kobe. In his heart, Kobe is "Mamba" and the second Jordan. Pierce also revealed that he has always regarded Jordan as his idol; but when he looked at Kobe on the court, he saw Jordan's shadow from Kobe's eyes.

This is true. Back then, a group of opponents played against Kobe, not only suffered when defending, but also made the opponent feel uncomfortable when attacking, and it was simply uneasy for the whole game. This can also show how strong Kobe's dominance in both offense and defense, and how much trouble it brings to his opponent.

Not only Pierce, former NBA player Alden Polynes also talked about Jordan, Kobe and James in the "Byron Scott 's Fast Break". He ranked Jordan first and Kobe ranked second because Kobe played style similar to Jordan, completely following Jordan's path, James ranked third. But he also said that it seems nothing wrong to choose between these three people as the first. He also gave an example that he saw Alexander get 14 points in the playoffs, but Jordan and Kobe can never get such a few points in the playoffs, highlighting Jordan and Kobe's strong scoring ability in the game.

In my opinion, Pierce has such a high evaluation of Kobe, and there are some reasons. Kobe himself is very good, his basketball skills are all in all, and he has a variety of scoring tricks. He is very good at shooting from mid-range, three-pointers or breakthroughs. And you have a strong sense of victory and a strong sense of perseverance. The more critical the game, the more amazing energy you can use. Just as Pierce said, when playing against Kobe, his strong aura puts pressure on his opponent. Kobe has made efforts to win the game and trained, which is something that ordinary people can't imagine. This is why he has the dominance of the field. Everyone in Los Angeles at four o'clock in the morning is familiar with it.

Judging from external factors, Kobe was in the NBA competition at that time. He has always had a fight with stars such as Pierce on the court, and these confrontations have made Pierce have a deeper understanding of Kobe's ability. Kobe competed with many powerful opponents, proved himself again and led the Lakers to win many championships. As an opponent, Pierce naturally admired Kobe when he saw those glorious times.

Besides, Jordan's position in the basketball circle is too high, and Kobe's ability to be regarded as the second Jordan by Pierce shows that Kobe's playing style and spirit are similar to Jordan; at that time, Kobe did play his own way and become a benchmark in the eyes of many players. Pierce's words not only recognize Kobe's personal skills, but also miss their passionate basketball era. It has to be said that although Kobe is no longer in the basketball world, he has left those exciting times on the field and his Mamba spirit, which has always influenced the players and many fans later.

Irving, Booker, and Tatum are all disciples of Kobe, and they all regard him as idols, and their playing skills also have the shadow of Kobe; Pierce and Kobe are heroes who cherish each other and recognize each other's strength in their hearts, so of course they can understand it.
