personally i would love for a rookie to come out and say "yes, i want my game like Kobe... i want to win championships so i try and work out HARDER then Kobe so i can reach that level... want to be as good if not better then KOBE..."
No rookie will use Kobe as the standard because he isn't, but they can use Kobe's work ethic, desire, and mentality as the standard in aquest to be better than MJ.
LeBron is already doing it. He obviously hasn't said it, but it seems to be the case from the little I see of him. Of course, he isn't modeling hisgame after Kobe or MJ because he's a 6'8" 265 lb small forward. What he is doing is using Kobe's example in LeBron's own quest to bebetter than MJ. My feeling is that LeBron sees how Kobe got to where he's at and figures that he will use that example to take it further because he'sgot more to work with.
You see it with LeBron's improved defense and this recent talk of having enoughs guns and or bullets to win. I'm sure LeBron would have made an efforttoo improve his defense, but would he really need to if Kobe wasn't playing? Might LeBron be satisfied by being the best player in the NBA and take thingsat his own pace if there wasn't someone doing things LeBron doesn't do? My guess is that he would because we see it a little bit now with what seemsto be relatively slow progress in adding post game to is repertoire.
