Kobe's Work Ethic

[Cynical Thoughts]

this story takes place at the olympics you got 13 of the best players in the world along with anthony davis and james harden; and only one cat called him up at 4 in the morning to workout and then didn't leave til after everyone else was done. think about that. so respect and stop being a bytchmade fakkit.

If you not even gonna read my response to the person I quoted and just pick and choose what to respond to don't bother quoting me.

I gave dude props. I said I respect him. I commended his effort. But I ain't gone bow down and suck him off in thinking no one else works hard as he does.

Back in my hoop dream days all I did was hoop. Even on my work break I was outside dribbling a ball. I slept with that ball and woke up with it in my hands. Motivated by stories and articles just like this.

I have no doubt in high school, if I had the available resources he does and was promised millions that I would work just as hard. Who wouldn't?

He's man breh. He isn't a gawd like you want to believe.

Na bro I don't call nobody gawd/god. Seriously or joking.

And if someone was a "shooting gawd" we all know I wouldn't be him. Hasn't anyone explained that to you before?

what these niccas are trying to say is that both Tmac and Vince Carter were superior athletes to Kobe.

LMAO at you thinking other people work as hard as he does. Show me proof that other players work as hard as he does. Show me articles from random people talking about that player's work ethic, dedication, and drive like Kobe has. So if other players work just as hard as he does then why don't you see a lot of players improve their game and be able to still play way past their prime at an efficient level? The fact is Kobe loves the game and dedicated his life to the game while others view basketball as a job. You got guys like Jamal Crawford and Lamar Odom who are vets in the league, but don't even practice. Crawford admitted he never practiced shooting until this past summer. Then a guy like Odom who never reached his potential because he never committed himself to basketball. If other guys worked like Kobe then a lot of them would've not been out of shape last season after the lock out.

Sure, they work hard, but there is a difference when a much older player, past his prime, has a lot of achievements, and was the best player in the league for years still works harder than some of the best current players.
