NBA legend Kobe Bryant explains what Harry Kane needs to do to be as good as Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo

Basketball legend Kobe Bryant is tipping Harry Kane to be as good as Cristiano Ronaldo or Lionel Messi if he can show the right attitude.

The five times NBA champion was at Wembley to see Kane scored a brace in Tottenham’s 4-1 thrashing over Liverpool and believes the Englishman can challenge the best players in the world.

“He can be like Ronaldo or Messi if he believes in himself and continues working hard, then he can live up to that level,” he said.

Kane’s second goal on Sunday was his 45^th goal in 2017 and is within touching distance of Messi and Ronaldo’s goals total in the calendar year.

“Kane is good, very good,” Bryant added. “I think he can still improve too because he is young and there are a lot of possibilities ahead for him.”
