Tyson Chandler on Kobe Bryant

It's not quite a work-out story, but more of a competitor story, but a definite must see.

At least give credit where credit is due.

I guess it's bound to happen and spread to other sites.

I actually have an account there too.

At least the poster could've copied and pasted it in a much less messier way.

Anyway, added Robert Horry's take.

Sucks when people post other people's hard work as if it was their own instead of giving the person who worked hard to collect all this material their due credit.

Worse is that he posts here in LG too. I wouldn't be surprised if this pops up in Realgm.

it always does seem like Nike wants to promote Lebron more. But they have no choice but to promote Kobe even more because he wins, and Lebron doesnt.


Unfortunately, Nike hasn't gotten the clue. Go to Nike.com and select bball. Lebron's name is still listed before Kobe's. When did L come before K?

Nike is still riding the Miami signing of Lebron.

When Kobe wins his 6th ring, K will once again be in front of L in the Nike alphabet.

I wonder what Kobe's shot bible contains. I could sure use it ... I've been building a house the last few games I've played. I literally haven't made a shot (in a game) since last Friday.

It probably starts at the "Genesis of what makes a Jumpshot" and ends all the way with the "Revelation of hitting a Game-winner" with tips from Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John James Naismith.

I wish they sold this at Amazon.

What do you learn when commuting with Kobe? Before the game starts he's already put in a full day's work.
by Rick Reilly


It's 49 miles from Kobe Bryant's house in Orange County to Staples Center and yet, even in a Ferrari, it takes him 10 hours and 16 minutes.

What takes him so long? You're about to ride shotgun and find out:

7:15 a.m. Nearly $140 into a cab ride from my place, a security gate opens at the end of a very swank cul de sac to reveal Kobe Bryant, father of two, standing in front of seven vehicles—the Ferrari, the Range Rover, the Escalade, the Bentley Coupe, the two-door plastic Fred Flintstone car, the training-wheels bike and the tricycle smashed into a bush.

"You ready to go?" he asks. "I hate to be late."

I have a bag and nowhere to put it, since the Ferrari is basically a 503-horsepower engine with two seats. So he takes two helmets out of the trunk and puts the bag in.

Helmets for a car? Uh-oh.

7:21 a.m. I immediately spill my coffee in the $300,000-plus Ferrari, but how was I supposed to know he'd demonstrate its 0 to 60 mph in 3.1-seconds right at the very moment I was about to sip my delicious venti mochachino?



Trying to wipe up the puddle with my sock without him noticing and trying to be heard over the Ferrari's throaty roar, I nearly yell my interview:

Me: "Why are we leaving so early for a 6:30 Clippers game?"

Bryant: "Game day. Lots to do."

Bryant versus Jordan, each in his prime. "There'd be blood on the floor by the end," says Winter, who has coached them both.

...So there was Kobe on May 21, with the Lakers down 20 in the third quarter and the L.A. crowd starting to boo, whipping the ball between his legs and shaking his noggin at Bowen like some enormous, ticked-off bobblehead. What followed seemed, in retrospect, inevitable: the deep jumpers, the twisting drives, the scowls and, finally, a cold-blooded Bryant pull-up in the lane with 23.9 seconds left to cap the 89--85 comeback win. Watching him manhandle the game, you could feel the Western Conference series tilting westward, and indeed the Lakers were up 2 games to 1.


I'm guessing this is Lakers vs Spurs 2008 WCF Game 1.

Link to article.

Video highlights would be awesome!

Oh wait... does this count?



What about this?



I don't have streaming videos so I have no idea what they are

I remember reading an article one time about how somebody who just got out of college or something wanted to work out with Kobe and Kobe told him he'd pick him up at 3. He ended up waiting until 3 and Kobe didn't show up. He wakes up in the middle of the night to someone at his door and it's Kobe picking him up to train at 3 A.M. Anybody remember this story?

Yes, it's on the 1st page of this thread posted by TheRod.

It's the Rick Reily story.

Thanks OP, maybe you should change your name to Kobe-esque.

My favorite:

Quote:
It is 2000, and Bryant is an All-Star and franchise player. Still, after guard Isaiah Rider signs as a free agent, Bryant repeatedly forces him to play one-on-one after practice—Bryant wins, of course—to reinforce his alpha alpha male status. When six-time All-Star guard Mitch Richmond arrives the next year, he gets the same. "He was the man, and he wanted us to know it," says Richmond. "He was never mean or personal about it, it's just how he was."


I could see him doing that (bleep)!

On Kobe's 81 point game, when I checked the boxscore, like Duncan, I thought it was a typo. I thought the Lakers scored 81 points not Kobe. Then I did a double take when I realized the truth.

Laron Profit was on the radio here in the DC area a few days ago on the John Thompson show the ex coach of the Hoyas. And he asks Profit about Kobe. well Profit says in their 1st work out in the summer time its him kwame and some other players including Kobe playing 3on3 so the game is close and Kobe drives on Kwame. Kwame slaps the ball away from Kobe and runs after it. He says Kobe runs after it dives under kwame's legs to get the loose ball as they tumble to the floor he gets the ball gets up and makes some incredible shot to win the game.

Profit says he gets on the phone and tell his moms I just might have seen one of the top 2 greatest players ever.
