Jaime Jaquez is being a very pleasant surprise this season in the NBAwas the highest selection in the history of the league for a Mexican and now he has confessed one of his secrets, as he mentions that a large part of his inspiration is thanks to Kobe Bryant.
“When I was little I was a Lakers fan, so I was always inspired by their work ethic and their no-care attitude. When I watched the games, my father always told me how hard Kobe worked.” Jaime Jáquez for GQ USA.
Little by little Jáquez has been earning not only a position on the Miami Heat, but also a name in the NBA, as he was recognized by the league itself as the rookie of the month in the Eastern Conference.
The Mexican also pointed out someone who has given him a lot of support both on and off the court has been Jimmy Butler because they have even gone out to dinner and walked together in their free time. “He’s always in my ear, giving me advice, telling me everything I can do” GQ USA.
