Trevor Ariza says Kobe sent him a blueprint after Boston beat the Lakers in the 2008 Finals, then the Lakers won the title the next year
“After the game... going to the hotel, the bus was shaking. The fans was shaking our bus, throwing rocks at our shit”
“We get back to the hotel, everybody goes to Kobe’s room... we just taking shots, talking about how we going to come back next year and be better. Once we got back to LA, he sent me a text”
“‘In like a week I’m going to send you the blueprint to how we going to win this shit. I’m going to send you everything that I need you to do to help me’... The shit that he told me to do, I did that shit every day, twice a day... and we end up winning”
After losing Game 2 of the 2010 NBA Finals to Boston, Kobe Bryant called up former Celtics scout Mike Procopio:
“I need you in Boston.”
Procopio flew out, analyzed film on his iPad, and sent detailed game reports to Kobe to give him an edge.
Procopio revealed Kobe first became interested in personal game analysis after reading about Houston Rockets GM Daryl Morey giving Shane Battier a defensive guide on how to guard him:
“That inspired Bryant to seek similar guidance… Kobe has a creative mind, and he takes things to another level.”
@Ferrari_M5@KingsShowYoo Lmao who hurt you? I literally just mention the age gap. 35 and 40 is far older than 32.
So what’s your fucking excuse for Chris Bosh and Kevin love? Both were higher average on their team before playing with LeBron? Get the fuck out here boy. Casual Bronsexual fan. Suck dick
@Ferrari_M5@KingsShowYoo Malone was 40 very much tail end of his career and GP was 35 only last 2 more seasons.
Westbrook was only 32 years old not his prime anymore but he was still an all star prior year with the wiz.
