Kobe: "Show up 10 mins before practice, leave right afterwards, how the fukk can I pass u the ball?"

[Apollo Creed]

Kobe would have hated me as a teammate, and that's okay

Woulda swung on him then laughed about it 20 yr slater on our 30 for 30 doc

Kobe a GOAT not goin against him per se but I think this is a bit overkill in a way of thinkin

I’d understand if dudes showin up late and missing practice etc. but u don’t kno wat work nikkas puttin in when u not around

to me it jus sounded like he didn’t respect certain teammates and felt like they wasn’t worthy of takin some shots he could cuz he knew wat his work ethic was

nonetheless still great to tap into the mind of a man who did it all in his profession

Gilbert said the same thing when he was on the wizards. He said “asking me to pass YOU the ball is selfish, I’m not the selfish one.”

you can tell when practice starts and they arent playing like they been doing shyt in they off time. he practiced at home himself do you really think he made an oversight like that for almost 20 years?

i remember watching something on Jr Smith rook year and he was exactly what kob was talking bout.. asking his vets if he had to show up for 8 am practice lol

 

[get these nets]

The story about him saying he’ll play all the games he’s physically able to because some fan saved up money to watch him

Rest In Peace to Kobe, but that's verbatim a comment he took from Michael Jordan.

A lot of people are lazy when it comes to the skill development of their game. Only wanting to do runs.


He changed the way I approached my jumpshot when he was talking about Kevin Durant's base and mini jump before the shot for momentum.

Kobe made me a great pg.

I’m sure if we could have a convo wit Kobe (RIP)

he’d tell u there were some teammates who showed up for they job without extra work in his sight that he could trust when I hear wat Handy said I think he referring to nikkas like Nick Young

Sometimes I wonder if Kobe's tough shell was also hiding hurt from falling out with his parents. RIP Kobe.

Alot of people who were Good at what they do can be 'weirdos' when it comes to that thing i.e. Steve Jobs (people hated being in his presence)

Kobe and Jimmy Buckets wouldve been a match made in heaven
