October 20th, Beijing time , according to ESPN reports, Kobe smiled meaningfully at being ranked 40th by ESPN. And he feels that ESPN's ranking issue will not be a motivation for him to move forward.

"I knew they were a bunch of fools," Kobe said on the day of the 86-119 defeat to the Jazz. It was also a direct response hours after the ESPN rankings came out.

In the game against the Jazz, Kobe scored a game-high 27 points in 18 minutes, making 10 of 23 shots and 7 of 13 free throws. Both of these field goal attempts set new highs for his entire preseason.

Last year, due to the impact of his Achilles tendon, questions and doubts surrounded Kobe, and ESPN ranked him No. 25. At the time, Kobe shot back, saying, "It's so stupid," and "This is so ridiculous." He then changed the avatar of his social account to "1225", which represents ESPN's ranking of the Lakers and Kobe. Although he repeatedly claimed that it was his puppy's birthday.

Although Kobe made a strong comeback last year, he later suffered a fractured knee and only played 6 games for the Lakers. But this season, even though ESPN's ranking of Bryant has dropped 15 spots, he is no longer as "overreacted" as he was a year ago.

"I prefer to use reality to inspire myself," Kobe said with a smile. "Honestly, it doesn't affect me anymore and I don't want to care about it anymore. I just want to stay healthy and if I prove it to the doubters in the process, it's going to end in damage. ”
