He should of done 900 makes, and then maybe he wouldn't have had a 1 for 34 three point shooting stretch.

That's a pretty sick story though. Totally believable if you watch his doin' work video. He may not be the best ever and overrated by most, but it's not for lack of effort that's for sure.

Let's save the rape jokes for Roethlisberger. At least in that case, there's a possibility he was actually guilty. The rape charges against Kobe were pretty much the most ridiculous unfounded set of accusations I've ever come across. This ho ****ed 10 guys in the same night, but then decided she "just wanted to kiss and didn't wanna go all the way" with Kobe ****ing Bryant? Give me a break. The fact that there was even a trial should be grounds for prosecutorial misconduct.

Wouldn't be surprised if it's some weird propaganda by Kobe himself. Remember, he told the LA Times in the early 2000s that he was doing two thousand makes every day.

Quote:

That's 2,000 makes, not attempts. Fifteen- to 18-footers, too, not layups or free throws. Every day.

"No way," said Bucks guard Ray Allen. "I don't know Kobe, but that sounds like ... Did he really say that?"

Knicks forward Glen Rice, a teammate of Bryant's a year ago, was only slightly more diplomatic. "Hmmm, that seems like an awful lot," said Rice with a chuckle and a roll of the eyes. "I've never shot that many. But it's possible, I guess. Kobe's a gym rat."

Even by NBA standards, Bryant's claim strains credulity. In order to make 2,000 shots, a player would need to make 500 shots an hour -- over eight per minute -- for four hours. While not impossible, it would be a murderous workout. Especially if one did it every day.

"If I took that many shots," said Allen, "I'd need surgery to reattach my arm."

Maybe Bryant, former co-owner of Italian team Olimpia Milano, wanted to look like the Venus De Milo.

Allen, one of the NBA's best pure shooters, said a typical offseason workout for him might include about 500 jumpers. For example, he might make 100 from each baseline, 100 from the wings and 100 from the top of the key. "Anything more than that is unnecessary," Allen said.

Bryant, of course, should be commended for working to get better. Lakers coach Phil Jackson believes that if Bryant, 22, can add a consistent 18-20 foot jumper to his offensive arsenal (à la Michael Jordan) he will be practically unstoppable. With opposing defenses packed in around Shaquille O'Neal, he's sure to get plenty of open looks.

Not really, but it wouldn't surprise me if he exaggerated to the trainer.

I used to regularly take 1000 shots a day in summer. This would take 3-4 hours. If your Kobe though, you aren't going and fetching your rebounds, someone would be feeding passes to you. So you should be able to take more like 15-20 shots per minute. Making 10 per minute like this, 2000 is possible in just over 3 hours.

Obv not surprising if that story is fake since we don't know the source, buttttt from when Reilly tagged along with him on game day once:

Quote:

Bryant, 30, has been known to get up earlier than many barn owls to conduct his famously brutal workouts. One time, Larry Drew II—who now plays at North Carolina—asked to shadow him on one.

"OK," Kobe said. "Pick you up at 3:30."

But 3:30 came and went and Kobe never showed. Then, at 3:30 the next morning, he was ringing Drew's doorbell.

"You ready?" Kobe asked.

From the comments:

Quote:

I actually have some similar stories. My father was part of the Lakers S&C team from 1993-2001 or 2002.
He once said he had to stay at the practice facility helping a player rehabbing from an injury well into the night. An assistant coach Bill Bertka was given the assignment of shutting Kobe down before/after practices because there was concern he was overdoing it and would break down. After they found Kobe coming back to the facility after hours several times on his own, Bill made him give back his key. There was apparently quite the rift between management and Kobe regarding his practice habits and Kobe felt like he wasn't valued. He felt somewhat like he was just a body to them and that they'd lose interest in him if he was hurt. At one point he said something to Jeanie about "if they cant handle me at my worst, they dont deserve me at my best". It got back to Jerry West and there was a sit down to say the least.
Back to the story. My old man is at the facility rehabbing and around 1am Kobe walked down the hall past the training rooms toward the practice court. When he noticed my dad and the player he said "yall didnt see ****" and my dad said Kobe was still at the facility when they left at 230 am. The next day my dad asked Kobe how he got in and Kobe laughed and said "i got my ways". A couple of nights later my dad noticed a sock wedged in between one of the entrances to the building propping the door open. My dad never ratted. Kobe could be proppin with socks to this day. One of my favorites.

Kobe works late at night/early morning in both stories. Both stories confirmed true. Kobe confirmed GOAT.
