For the full story, check out The Last Chip (link in bio) On the first day of practice in Beijing, I headed down for breakfast early, which made me feel good about myself because I figured most of my teammates were sleeping. And I was right, basically nobody was down there….except for Kobe. Not only was he the first to breakfast, but he also had ice bags on his knees, which meant he’d already worked out. Mind you, this was less than two weeks after the Lakers lost in the Finals to the Celtcs. You couldn’t have blamed him for resting up and focusing on being healthy for the next season. But instead, the dude was pushing himself harder than any human being I had ever met—waking up at 4:00 a.m. to hit the gym. That meant all of us were gonna push ourselves, too. With Kobe as an inspiration, D and Bron elevated their games that summer, balling out at practices at a level I’d never seen before. And they, in turn, inspired me. Hell, we all inspired each other. The moral of that story: You can’t take it easy and then expect yourselves to rise to the occasion. If you want to be the best, you have to do the work every day. I miss Kobe, but that lesson will live with me forever.」7月2日 4時27分
