Collection of Kobe Bryant Work out stories from NBA peers...

[NoGunzJustSkillz]

Isiah Thomas -- "I used to think James Brown was the hardest working man in showbusiness.. I can now safely say its Kobe Bryant"

Larry Bird --- "Ive never seen anyone work as hard as Kobe, and that includes myself"

Michael Jordan -- "When Kobe was a freshman in HS, I flew him out to Chicago for a personal workout, because I'd read alot of great things about this kid, but I wasnt so sure.. so anyways, this punk kid ends up beating me in HORSE and about 5 or 6 games of 1on1. I couldnt believe it. I told him, someday, you'll be the greatest. I was right"

Bill Russell --- "If Kobe played with me under Red, we'd have won 20 straight."

is this a joke?

Who would you guys say has a work ethic close to Kobe's in today's game? I know Durant is always saying how much he works and wants to be the best, and how he's always encouraging and supporting his teammates.

Jordan wouldn't call God the greatest if he had a basketball in his hand. You know how many posters here would have that as their signature?

With Kobe's love for practicing his jump shot, I wonder why he hasn't adopted Durants routine.

All those were made up.

[OldSchoolBBall]

Any one know about the Brian Shaw story when he was ballin against Jordan and running his mouth? That story made me flip out, greatness personified

You talking about game 3 of the 1992 playoffs vs. Miami, when Brian Shaq and Steve Smith decided to talk trash to MJ about how they were shutting him down etc. after a first quarter where he was scoreless, and then MJ ended up scoring 56 over the final 3 quarters, completing a Bulls sweep? That story?

LBJ ain't gon' be doin' shite in his 30's without his athleticism, trust me, so fcuk you haters.

kobe is such a inspiration!

[GOAT24]

there are people in sports that despite crazy natural born athletic ability that are just hard wired differently then the rest of the mortals on earth and that difference is what takes them to such crazy heights..

blend one part great natural athletic ability with passion for the sport
stir in one part of commitment to be better than anyone else
simmer with the heat of blind obsession
top with 2 parts of rip your heart out or die trying

and there you have a recipe for an elite superstar

if anyone knows or has heard of eddy lawson i have a great eddy lawson story if ya'll care to hear, kinda longish...lol

Eddy Lawson is awesome
