Kobe Bryant doesn’t give compliments, so if you’re able to make an impression on him, then you probably have some substance to you as a player.
After passing Michael Jordan on the NBA’s all-time scoring list and leading the Los Angeles Lakers to a 100-94 win over the Minnesota Timberwolves Sunday night, Bryant paid the ultimate compliment to the No. 1 overall pick.
Bryant told reporters that he sees himself as a 19-year-old in Wiggins.

Wiggins of course was humbled by being apart of a historic moment.
Andrew Wiggins: "I witnessed greatness. A living legend passing Michael Jordan, who everyone thinks is the best of all time."
