#1 Giannis Antetokounmpo - Milwaukee Bucks
Giannis is a 6'11" Point Guard and he is one of the best players who match with Kobe's instincts. He took a massive leap in terms of his game and has been outstanding so far. Giannis is just 22-years-old and is on the verge to become one of the best players in the league.
Giannis took Kobe's challenge after the 5-time Champion challenged him to be the MVP in the 2017-18 NBA season. Giannis ability to attack the basket is amazing, he can play at both ends of the floor and can dominate any position on the court. Giannis is the only player in the NBA history to be in the top 20 in terms of points, rebounds, assists, steals, and blocks for a single season.

Giannis also had Kobe as his idol while growing up in Greece and came into the league to be like him. Giannis is surely a student of Kobe's Mamba Mentality University and can be the rank-holder in that university too!
