The ascension of Pacers forward Paul George has been astounding. While speaking to 1070 The Fan, George explained how he used some of Kobe's tricks to become a better NBA player.
‘I switched it all up, just my whole preparation. I come in early, I lift before every game and I get about 300 or 400 shots up prior to the game as well. All of that really came from Kobe Bryant. With him being around Brian Shaw and Brian Shaw being around us and me having a relationship with Brian Shaw and the conversations we have had, that’s how Kobe prepares and gets ready for games. Me, idolizing Kobe growing up in L.A, that’s really how I changed my whole season around.’

So he's basically copying MJ's formula.
