WHITE PLAINS, NEW YORK — Derrick Rose knows he can’t be Kobe Bryant. The newly acquired Knicks guard has a game that falls short of the soon-to-be first ballot Hall of Famer.
But at the New York Knicks Media Day in White Plains, N.Y., Rose used Bryant as an example of how he’d like to re-model his game following several devastating leg injuries over the past few seasons.
“I think I play a raw way of basketball, so my game has always been mid-range, one dribble, two dribbles. I feel like I have a great backboard shot, like if I get to a certain area, I’m able to be more efficient,” Rose said.
