I'm like, I want to see how long this goes.
I sit out there and watch.
25 minutes.
And he got done.
I said, okay, I think I've seen enough.
Go play, you know?
Come back, get in the sauna, get ready for the game.
That game, he drops 40 on us.
And after the game is over, I'm like, I have to ask this guy.
I have to understand why he works like that.
So after the game is over, I'm like, hey, Kobe, why were you in the gym for so long?
He's like, because I saw you come in.
And I wanted you to know that it doesn't matter how hard you work, that I'm willing to work harder than you.
And he's like, there's nothing wrong with that.
I'm not saying I dislike you as a person.
You inspire me to be better.
And it was the first time I started to see this level of competitiveness where I said, I need to start doing more.
Be the guy who embraces the ugly, the miserable.
Be the guy who embraces hard work, the grind.
Don't be afraid of being hurt.
