One of the main characteristics of Kobe Bryant was his attitude toward winning, he prioritized it on the court over anything else. One big example was when he played in 2008 with the "Redeem Team" at the Olympics and shoved Spain's biggest star, Pau Gasol, right through his chest. Gasol was Kobe's teammate in the Lakers and best friend.
Bryant was the type of player who had an “it's my way or the highway” mindset, and that disposition applied both toward his teammates and opponents. But surely his opponents bore the brunt of that, with Los Angeles Clippers star Paul George sharing yet another hilariously on-brand story that furthers the Black Mamba's legend.
Kobe Bryant once injured former Indiana Pacers big man Roy Hibbert after a ferocious collision, breaking the nose of the player, still, the black mamba was savage about the situation.
Paul George spoke on his P Podcast about the anecdote “Kobe [Bryant] had broke Roy Hibbert's nose. You know, Roy was wearing a mask, and it came from that elbow from Kobe. […] [So Hibbert was like], “Kobe, hey yo, you broke my nose man.” Kobe said stone-faced, ‘You should’ve got the f**k out the way then,'” George told one of Kobe Bryant's former teammates, Julius Randle.
“I think they would probably be talking about more Michael and Kobe. I think, like you said, his untimely death — I think a lot of people forgot how great Kobe was.” Said Byron Scott about Kobe Bryant.
