He’s the most influential player in The NBA over the past 20 years. The step back, side step, low gather, dribble package, high pick and roll targeting your worse defender, is all from him.
Since the beef, Drake stopped performing songs he made with his ops.
But Future still performs Drake songs.
Kendrick still performs Poetic justice.
Sza performs Rich Baby Daddy.
Rick Ross still performs his numerous Drake features.
This shows you who the industry needs most.
What’s most impressive about Bron & his accomplishments imo is he didn’t inherit discipline or structure, and still became who he became.
If you look at most all time great athletes, nearly all of them had strong male influence and father figures. From Jordan, Magic, Serena, Tiger, Brady, Manning, Mahomes, Mayweather, Bolt, Phelps, Messi, Ronaldo, Gretzky, Federer, Kobe, Shaq, Curry, Duncan, Pele, Ali, all of them had present fathers or male figures that gave them structure, guidance, coaching & discipline.
Bron is the only modern all time great who didn’t inherit any of that, yet still generated his own, and sustained it for 20+ years. Most athletes with fatherlessness, poverty & fame collapse. He didn’t. People don’t realize how crazy that is.
He isn’t just a basketball outlier, he’s a sociological and psychological outlier.
