Who has the greater influence or Kobe? Wade gave the answer, netizens: This is the gap

Kobe and James, the two of them are undoubtedly the two most shining basketball superstars in the 21st century. Their influence is not only limited to the arena, but also extends to every corner of the world, becoming an idol and benchmark in the hearts of countless fans. And who has a more profound influence has always been a hot topic among fans. As one of the most representative figures in the league, Kobe has long surpassed basketball itself. Kobe is known as Jordan's successor, with a gorgeous and elegant style. He has won numerous honorary records in his 20 years of career. He inspires fans all over the world with his unique "Mamba spirit". Kobe's never-give up and persistent pursuit of victory has won him countless fans around the world.

James is unique in the league with his comprehensive and outstanding skills and a lasting and stable career. His dominance in the arena is unparalleled, and he is proficient in everything whether it is scoring, rebounding or assisting. Off the scene, James actively participates in philanthropy, is committed to improving the community environment, helping children in need, and constantly expanding his influence through his own foundations and business empire.

While comparing the influence of the two, Wade once shared an interesting story in an interview program. During the Beijing Olympics, when the Dream Eighth team arrived in China, many fans flocked to it. However, these fans did not focus on stars such as James, but rushed directly to Kobe.

Wade said: "When we got off the plane, many fans rushed towards us. I felt quite excited when I walked in front. As a result, they ignored me and went to Kobe. Kobe's popularity in China was just like the Beatles. Those fans rushed directly to Kobe from me and James. So when we went out, just say 'Kobe is there', and all the fans went to him."

This scene vividly reflects Kobe's lofty status in the hearts of Chinese fans. In the hearts of many domestic fans, Kobe's influence exceeded Jordan and Yao Ming. But in fact, James also has a very high popularity and influence in China. His game style, personal charm and commercial value all give him a huge fan base in China. With the development of the times, James' influence is gradually expanding. His active performance on social media and his attention and voice on social issues have made him a role model in the minds of the younger generation of fans.

From a global perspective, Kobe and James have equal influence. They have made outstanding contributions to the development and promotion of basketball in different eras and in different ways. Kobe represents a spirit of perseverance and pursuit of excellence, and his story inspires countless people to work hard in their respective fields. James, with his comprehensive ability and positive social influence, has become a role model and symbol for a generation.
