Dude, you can't copy someone as a player....you should always try to learn from the best...that's smart....but you have to take what you can do and find ways to apply things in your game that other people may be better at....there are always going to be great players.....i think it is kind of silly to say someone will try to copy another....everyone brings something unique to the table

so you guys should be talking about nick young and use him as your
example

all he lacks is that mentality and a little stamina to sustain him through it


He must dissapoint the women in his life.

Normally yah, but Kobe, without a doubt, tried to copy Jordan. He's toned it back alot with things like the tongue but it is painfully evident.

Or check this video, kinda crappy for the first half but it's funny how much Kobe imitated Jordan's weird tongue mannerisms and everything else about him.
