“Unveiling the Untold Wisdom: How Kobe Bryant’s Candid Conversations with Icons Shape His Lasting Legacy”
Jay Williams “I’m Willing To Work Harder Than You!”
“This guy’s still working out? It looks like he was in a dead sweat when I got there,” Williams said. “That game, he drops 40 on us. After the game is over, I’m like, ‘I have to ask this guy; I have to understand why he works like that.’ After the game, I’m like, ‘Hey Kobe, why were you in the gym for so long?'”
“He was like, ‘Cause I saw you come in, and I wanted you to know that it doesn’t matter how hard you work, that I’m willing to work harder than you,'” Williams said.
NOT Wanting To Be Like Mike
Kobe’s favorite NBA player growing up was Michael Jordan. Bryant’s ferocity and painful attention to detail were inspired by the former Chicago Bulls legend. Kobe learned everything he could from studying Jordan’s every move.
He watched intently and marveled over Jordan’s proper shooting mechanics, strong footwork, defensive positioning, and relentless mid-range jump-shooting display. Bryant showed toughness and competitiveness rivaled only by Jordan. He once said, “If you see me in a fight with a bear, pray for the bear.”
While Other Players Partied, Kobe Was Putting In Work
Nobody matched Kobe’s intensity when it came to basketball. His work ethic and dedication had him constantly working to improve his game. Compared to Bryant, most former teammates and opponents often remarked about feeling lazy about their progress.
