There are few players more qualified than Kobe Bryant to tutor teenagers on what it takes to have success in the NBA. After being drafted as a 17-year old with the 13th overall pick in the 1996 NBA Draft, Bryant went on to have one of the most succesful careers in NBA history.
Los Angeles Lakers rookie Brandon Ingram was drafted significantly higher (second overall in 2016), but the skinny 19-year old is hoping to follow anything close to a similar career trajectory to the player whose locker he now occupies.
Ingram has previously voiced a desire to work with Bryant, and the former superstar has shown a willingness to work with team's younger players via his communication with Julius Randle.
