What’s up y’all. It’s Kobe coming at you from Lakerland. For now. Hopefully not too much longer.
Coach Jackson’s been questioning my heart, but I’m not playing lazy. I’m strategizing for the future.
For instance, during the preseason we lost two games to the Warriors. Now, we could have won those games if I had played hard, but I didn’t, and I’ll tell you why. Early on in the game I was backing down Baron Davis, and I was thinking like, “What if I get traded to the Warriors?” I could have broken Baron’s ankles with a crossover move, but I just passed the ball and told Baron he had nice shoes ‘cuz we got to build rapport if we’re going to be playing together, ya dig?
And then later on I could’ve drained some threes or packed some fool, but I didn’t want to demoralize a team I could be playing for down the line. Same thing with practice. I can’t be showing all my moves to a team I’m going rip apart in a month.
Does that answer your questions Phil?
Anyway, don’t know where I’ll be, but you’ll be hearing from me real soon.
