Kobe Bryant's greatness in the NBA and especially his known "Mamba mentality" has given us countless hilarious and impressive anecdotes, but a recent one told by Hall of Famer Tracy McGrady is unbelievable.

The Lakers legend black mamba is known to be a ruthless competitor when it comes to basketball, his mindset was completely different from most of the NBA players, only compared with the competitive nature of Michael Jordan.

So is not a big shocker, the story that Tracy McGrady has about the time that Kobe "demolished" him in a 1-on-1 in Paris. Via the Showtime Basketball, McGrady said: "So, Kobe said he beat me... When it first came out, I was in China bro and my Chinese partners were showing it to me. 'Kobe said, he beat you 11 to 2. He said he demolished you,' or something like that. So I'm reading and I was like, hold up..."

"...So I call Kobe [Bryant] like 'Bro what? What are you talking about... We were working on our skills guarding each other... Damn, you were keeping score?!'"  McGrady also spoke on how that was the nature of Kobe Bryant, a natural competitor as he never knew they were playing a 1-on-1 against each other.

Bradley Beal told a Mamba his story

"(Kobe Bryant) was on the wing... All of a sudden he (hisses)... And all of a sudden the ball was in his hands... I said 'Oh my god, that's all you got to do to get the ball?" Said Bradley Beal on the Mamba hiss.
