The impact that Los Angeles Lakers legend Kobe Bryant had on this earth can never be measured. He was a true icon whose greatness stretched far beyond the basketball court. He was influential to so many, especially those who grew up in the Southern California area like Dallas Mavericks guard Klay Thompson.
Being the son of former Lakers player Mychal Thompson allowed Klay an even closer look at Kobe than most and he is one of many players who learned so much from the legend. And with the anniversary of Bryant’s death just passing, Thompson took some time to speak on the impact he had on himself personally.
