Los Angeles Lakers late legend Kobe Bryant is one of the most popular figures in the history of the NBA. Not only is he viewed as one of the greatest players of all time, but he has served as an inspiration to an entire generation of players. It seems as though a large chunk of the NBA today would name Kobe as their favorite player ever. And that could definitely be said for Houston Rockets rising star Amen Thompson.
Thompson, 22, is in his second campaign after being selected at No. 4 overall by the Rockets in the 2023 NBA Draft.
