1981年,当时科比只有3岁。他跑回房间,抓起一件快船的球衣并且套在头上。然后他穿上短裤,拿起一个小篮球跑到客厅看快船的比赛。当爸爸乔·布莱思特上场的时候,科比模仿着他父亲的每一个动作;当乔投出一个球时,科比也向他那个塑料篮筐投出皮球;当乔狡猾地冲向篮筐,科比也滑过一个想象中的防守者,晃过沙发和台灯;在乔下场后坐在板凳上,科比也像乔一样抓起一条毛巾,然后他还会按父亲的习惯去洗个澡。尽管还是一个学步的小孩,科比却已经确立了自己人生的目标:做一个像他父亲那样的人。 In 1981, Bryant was only 3 years old. He ran back to the room, grabbed a Clippers shirt and put it over his head. Then he wore shorts, picked up a small basketball and went to the living room to see the Clippers. Bryant mimics every action of his father when Joe Blessed plays; when Joe pitches a ball, Bryant throws a ball into his plastic basket; and when Joe crashes into the basket Kobe Bryant slipped past an imaginary defender and crossed the couch and table lamp. After Joe was off the bench, Bryant grabbed a towel like Joe, and he would follow his father’s habit of taking a bath. Despite being a toddler, Bryant has set a goal in his life: to be a man like his father.
