Jalen Green’s impressive start to his Houston Rockets and NBA career has already gathered the fan’s appreciation. After tying Michael Jordan in the NBA record of least number of games taken to have a 30 point game, fans could predict that Green is destined for greatness. However, the most surprising comparison which would make Jalen Green tear up is that of him and his hero, Kobe Bryant.

After Jalen Green’s first few games as a Rocket, a fan account made a unique observation about Jalen’s style of play. The fan account made a compilation of similar plays of Kobe as a rookie and Green’s first few games. And several fans across the NBA concur with this comparison.

Jalen Green did in 3 games what Kobe Bryant could not do till Game 90

Before the NBA Draft, Jalen Green’s high school coach revealed he wanted his narrative to be compared with Kobe‘s. One could say that Jalen Green took a similar path as Kobe into the league. Moreover, he has also taken up a similar responsibility as Kobe did with the Lakers. And with his 30 point game against the Celtics, he has shown sparks of his potential to fulfill that expectation.

Green promises to be the future of the Houston Rockets along with the 3 other tremendous draft picks. Jalen’s athleticism, his style of driving to the basket, and his shooting hot zones all have been very similar to Kobe Bryant so far. So it is not a surprise that Green is slowly becoming a fan favorite for Rookie of the Year.
