As Kyrie Irving’s career evolves, it’s slowly being revealed that the current Cavs point guard is more Kobe than he is LeBron. He’s certainly the “loner” type as he was seen “disconnected” from his teammates throughout his Playoffs, and his trade request only reiterates that he’s out here to shine on his own and carve his own path. If you needed any more indication that Kyrie is the next Kobe, check out this Kyrie 3 “Bruce Lee” directly inspired by the Kobe V “Bruce Lee” that released back in late 2009. It features the Kobe logo on the tongue, the scars at the fore-foot adding to the Bruce Lee effect, and the same graphics from the “Samurai” pair (Bruce Lee is Chinese, whereas the Samurai inspiration is obviously Japanese). Will we see a release, or is this just an SMU for Uncle Drew? Stay tuned
