One man's opinion... who put's in more work than Kobe? Name the twenty players (if you can).
u wouldn't know that, i wouldn't know that, none of us would know that b/c none of are there to see each and every team's workout, practice, training, etc. U only think Kobe puts in the most amount of work or plays the hardest out of anyone b/c for one, when you see him play he plays like he's mad at the fuckin world and plays w/ much intensity (good or bad), and two, he gets a lot of media coverage and 1hr espn specials covering his training and whatnot (case in point, Spike Lee's Kobe Puttin in Work). You haven't seen any other player get that kind of media coverage on THEIR training.
Plus, even though I don't know for sure, I wouldn't hesitate to bet that there's more than 20 players (well known by the public, and especially those that are more role players and less known) that put in more work than Kobe in the whole NBA. And just for argument's sake, even with the well known star players in the league (and there's more than 20 of them), do you honestly think Kobe puts in the most amount of work and plays the hardest out of all of them?
