Kobe Wasn’t Always Good at Basketball

Kobe Bryant reflects on playing basketball growing up and talks about not always being good at it. This interview is from 2011. Full interview from Taja Vivens:    • Kobe Bryant's UCSB Visit   Excerpt from ‘Larry Bird Said He Would Team Up With LeBron James If He Wanted To Have Fun, But If He Wants To Win He Would Select Kobe Bryant’ article by Divij Kulkarni: Larry Bird Chose LeBron James As The Teammate To Play With For Fun, And Kobe Bryant If He Wanted To Win Different players are known for different traits, and Kobe Bryant has always been known for his near-obsession when it came to winning. LeBron James in contrast is someone that has always made his teammates better, and someone that had a reputation for getting guys paid. Both have done plenty of winning and playing well though, so it's no surprise that both their names came up when larry Bird spoke about which players he would team up with to Bill Simmons in 2012. “Probably Kobe. Because of the fact he’s, well he probably wouldn’t be shooting as much as he is now. But his desire to win, his dedication all season to get better, and he’s just tough. But if you wanna have fun like I did with Bill Walton, you wanna play with LeBron. It’d probably be more fun to play with LeBron, but if you wanna win and win and win and win, it’s Kobe.” Full article: https://www.yardbarker.com/nba/articl... 🏷 #sonnyhillleague #philadelphia #basketball #failure #kobebryant #kidssports #growth #kidsbasketball #nonprofit #nonprofitorganization #philly #phillynonprofit #philadelphianonprofit #basketballleague #celeb
