Tim Grover

You know, look, I always try to outwork people, right?

That's just how I made my mark.

So the game was at 7.

I was like, you know what?

I'm going to come to the Staples Center because we're playing.

This is when the Lakers had Kobe and Shaq, okay?

This is like the championship Lakers.

I was like, you know, I'm going to get there at 3 o'clock.

I want to make sure I make 400 made shots before I go back into the room and then I sit in the sauna and I get ready for the game.

So, you know, get in the car, get to the gym, get there.

And as I'm walking onto the court, who do I see?

I see Kobe Bryant already working out.

So I worked out for a good hour, hour and a half.

And when I came off after I was done, I sat down and of course I still heard the ball bouncing.

I look down, I'm like, this guy's still working out.

He was working out for like, it looks like he was in a dead sweat when I got here.

And he's still going.

And it's not like his moves are nonchalant or lazy.

He's doing like game moves, you know?

I sit there and I unlace my shoes.
