Kobe Bryant's father Joe "Jellybean" Bryant appeared on CBS Radio's Brown and Scoop podcast recently, and had an interesting take on which current player might be most likely to follow in his son's footsteps.
When asked if the constant comparisons between Kobe and Michael Jordan bothered him, the elder Bryant said they did not, before naming the one player he believes could one day enter that same conversation.
Andrew Wiggins is an interesting enough choice, because the combination of size and athleticism he possesses is truly impressive. But it was kind of random, too, because unless Bryant hasn't been paying attention to the league for the past two seasons, it's hard to imagine Stephen Curry not getting the mention instead.
