Especially as his generation of players got older (including Dirk, KG, TD, etc.), I respected them more as they still hung around while the LeBron generation of players replaced them in the spotlight.
Very true. Though just briefly I think this has a lot to do with the coverage, too. A prime example when ESPN basically edits its Bron overtakes Kobe in scoring piece and adds Kobe is dead in an additional opening paragraph.
RIP Kobe.
