Kobe s tour delays young people? Russell: Disagree I learned a lot from him

Recently, Nets guard and former Lakers player D'Angelo Russell started his trip to China and accepted an exclusive interview with Yang Yi during this period.

When asked about the statement that "Bryant's retirement tour delayed the growth of young people, especially Russell," he said: "I don't agree with this statement. As a player, being a teammate with Kobe is more important than basketball itself. For me, he has improved my confidence and improved my understanding of the game. My understanding of the game was learned from him. I have been a teammate with him for a year. I saw how he handled the game and how he took care of his body. I saw that he was the last person to leave the arena. These are more important than what he did on the court."
