At the end of it, Kobe won 5-0 and grabbed the mic to ask him what the kid had learned. The courageous camper responded with, “You won’t be able to win at Lebron’s camp!”
Kobe, laughing, responded back with: “I also won’t get dunked on in my own
camp.”
This reminds me of the Prefontaine movie where he won't let the little kid beat him in a race and when his gf is nagging him about it later he says 'You can't ever let that losing mentality creep in'.
