Basketball player Kobe Bryant has the honor of covering the March 2015 issue of GQ. Photographed by Peggy Sirota, Bryant dons a sharp grey suit with a basic t-shirt for the energetic cover shot. Talking about his presence on the Lakers, Bryant asks, “Does my nature make me less enjoyable to play with? Of course.” Continuing on about his position intimidating star players from joining the Lakers, Bryant explains, “Of course it does. Is it possible that some top players in the league are intimidated by that? Yes. But do I want to play with those players? Does the Laker organization want those specific players? No. Magic. Jordan. Bird. We all would have been phenomenal teammates. This organization wants players who will carry this franchise to another five or six championships. The player who does that has to be cut from the same cloth. And if they’re not cut from that cloth, they don’t belong here.” Read more at GQ.com.
