A dead giveaway for how good a particular leader may be is to gauge the reactions of their peers when they are mentioned. For some of the new players on the Los Angeles Lakers, however, any kind of reaction would be welcome.
During the Lakers’ post-free-agency press conference, new players Roy Hibbert, Lou Williams and Brandon Bass were asked if they had heard from Kobe Bryant yet. The awkward yet hilarious moment was captured by ESPN’s Dave McMenamin.

Enough said.
When you’re a self-obsessed player whose only concern is for your own personal victories, don’t expect your teammates to look up to you like you are some kind of leader.
Many people might not know this, but despite our large and loyal following which we are immensely grateful for, NextShark is still a small bootstrapped startup that runs on no outside funding or loans.
Everything you see today is built on the backs of warriors who have sacrificed opportunities to help give Asians all over the world a bigger voice.
However, we still face many trials and tribulations in our industry, from figuring out the most sustainable business model for independent media companies to facing the current COVID-19 pandemic decimating advertising revenues across the board.
We hope you consider making a contribution so we can continue to provide you with quality content that informs, educates and inspires the Asian community. Even a $1 contribution goes a long way. Thank you for everyone's support. We love you all and can't appreciate you guys enough.
