Ty Lue Pinpoints Paul George And Kawhi Leonard’s Similarities With Kobe Bryant

Tyronn Lue was little more than a role player during his playing days, but he still is proud owner of two championship rings with the Los Angeles Lakers and was lucky enough to play with some of the game’s greatest players of all-time. One of which was Kobe Bryant.

Having to observe the Los Angeles Lakers legend from up-close, Ty Lue, who currently serves as the head coach for the Los Angeles Clippers who are bannered by two talented players in Kawhi Leonard and Paul George, now revealed that there are certain similarities between his two Clippers stars and Kobe.

“I think with Kawhi, just the mid range. With PG just the build and athleticism… Couple things are the same, but there’s a lot of differences as well.”
