We’d get to practice, he down there shooting 3’s. ‘You guys can we play?’ And we’d be like, ‘Nah, we ain’t playing today.’ And he would get mad because he wanted revenge, right? And then we’d wait like two or three days. ‘OK, we’ll play today.’ Then he gets beat again, and he go right back to the lab trying to get better.”<h4><img src="https://ssl.ulximg.com/public/userfiles/2022/08/20/GettyImages-139369178.jpg" alt="Kobe Bryant" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></h4>
