1. Kobe Bryant
Kobe Bryant would’ve been one of the most highly anticipated guests on The Last Dance even if the otherworldly tragedy didn’t happen. He’s one of the 10 best players of all time, and he modeled his game exactly like Jordan. Everything from the mentality to the footwork to the post moves to the defense. He was Jordan 2.0.
But now that Kobe is gone, every moment with him is infinitely more special, especially the ones we haven’t seen yet. His appearance in The Last Dance will likely feature him saying things we’ve never heard before. It’s unseen Kobe footage, and what’s better than that?
Kobe is also one of the most well-spoken, thoughtful players in the history of professional sports. Everything he says has weight and purpose to it. He doesn’t speak because he feels like he needs to be in the spotlight. He speaks because he has something meaningful to say.
Words can’t express how excited I am to hear Kobe give some never-before-seen interviews.
