this is effective everybody's talking

about Kobe Bryant and Michael Jordan oh

this is the message that every guys been

waiting to see I learned a lot this

cared a lot about how technically sound

Michael was this is one thing I'm

watching them play and then there's

nothing playing against them he's out of

the postgraduate course for

this technique was flawless

I wanted to make sure my technique was

just as flawless big down a half court

he wanted to know how when I turn around

on my jump shot how to do the defense I

told me she feels the defense with the

legs

once the through the defense's her leg

you can take advantage of that that was

very inspiring for me I remember talking

to Michael about his motivation every

night and he used to say that maybe

there was somebody in the stands that

never had a chance to see me play for

the first time and I want to make sure

they go home and they see the best of me

I remember being a kid in growing games

expecting to see the players play a

number curtain at the time that they

might be tired sore they might be sick

never curse me I just wanted to see them

do what they do

I think about that doesn't matter if I'm

saved

doesn't matter if I have explained ankle

the kid that sent in there might be the

next me sitting up there watching and

trying to get inspiration from that I

need to go out there and play we're

talking about I'm 36 years old 19th

season in the league

planet the best one ever felt like work

to me no once I came to the NBA I looked

around I saw all the guys that weren't

working as much as I was then I started

to understand that you know how I went

about it is hard work to me it was just

I just love what I do so I want to do it

as much as possible passion and people

have to be lucky to find passion and oh

yeah you do you're doing if you're

really lucky you finally out of early

age I am a 17 year old kid at the same

time you have to understand when to

separate business more pleasure

mix the two that's when we start to fall

no now it's time to go in there it's

time to do some work

on the west coast at least show Tom

doing that thing back down

fadeaway crossover playground moons

shades going behind your leg like that

did you set goals when you started in

the NBA did you have goals at that point

certain things that you wanted to do it

was really simple for me at the time

which is where as many championships as

possible fact that was that was it

growing up I understood that to be the

standard much magical fine I watched

Michael win six people talk about your

relationship with Michael Jordan

straighten this out first the time at

the forum or wherever that was

Phil had Michael come to the game it's

at the table you remember that I read

somewhere where it said that you didn't

challenge him or he didn't challenge you

it didn't happen it did happen because I

was sitting right at the table at the

table so Phil asked Michael if he wasn't

do anything just come by practice maybe

want to play maybe we can find out what

you got and then you said back no maybe

I find out what you got and then he said

that way you can't guard me and then you

said you can't guard me you how were you

21 21 years old there's a silent moment

and then when we walked out when walk

down the hall

Mike goes I love that dude man he's a

warrior cuz you did not step back is

like well maybe we'll see let's play

when we can play tomorrow I got used a

bat all day long I know you ain't

talking

oh you wait yeah you only got three max

ha ha you only got three man I grew up

watching him and I grew up having that

same type of edge and competitiveness I

know you gotta get up quick if you knew

where I was or why you go over to Baker

Mike after you favor ball real smooth up

your feet everywhere else you going on

the game I go for you explore your hope

for these fields right here Michael I

both know certain players that we can

intimidate in certain players aren't

free sorry

hey I should have been with a clap going

down every now and then you went to a

player and it has the same DNA G got st.

peddle of spirit you

you quickly realize that the bullying

and trash-talking is not gonna work for

this person this you can watch nothing

on I know you lost your mind he's going

makes you think they're back in scoring

ya know I'm pretty confident you don't

talk to Sophie to get 50 drop have you

run into anybody playing to their young

younger players that have that same fire

that same passion that you have for the

game

Westbrook plays he plays me like I did

with an aggression

watch the way I play
