He is not only the face of the Lakers, but he is becoming the face of the NBA!
He has gotten slimmer, made uncharacteristic multiple media appearances, and in fact has noticeably become more eloquent and charismatic during interviews. He has been accommodative for interviews in Dallas, but wasn’t an interesting subject since he was always mumbling and giving simple, short responses. He was always nice and respectful, but you can also sense that he was also not interested to do an interview too.
I think he now embraces the reality that he needs to be a superstar off-court, not just on-court, and have a global brand similar to Lebron and Steph.
