I'm not jumping through the gym by any means. But I don't need to be able to do that in order to be a great player.
Kobe BryantHorrible, terrible AAU basketball. It's stupid. It doesn't teach our kids how to play the game at all so you wind up having players that are big and they bring it up and they do all this fancy crap and they don't know how to post. They don't know the fundamentals of the game. It's stupid.
Kobe BryantThereโs a reason why players that have multiple championships have multiple championships. Thereโs a certain characteristic and an understanding and knowledge and thatโs not something thatโs easily taught. You kind of have to go through it and it kind of has to be part of your DNA from the beginning.
