Kobe Bryant is known for excelling on that basketball court and loving to win.
However, everyone knows their weaknesses and for the Mamba it might be in life after basketball.
Unlike most NBA players would love an opportunity in front office position with a team, Bryant explained that he wouldn’t be the best NBA executive on the Big Podcast with Shaq.
“Don’t look at me,” he said when he was asked by Big Podcast co-host John Kincade if Kobe or Shaq would make the better exec. “I would fire somebody in a second. No way. I would cut everybody.”
Kobe is a fiery personality so if you don’t have that warrior mentality or have tough skin he will let you know.
I’m sure Bryant’s teammates at one point or another wish they were cut by how much he harped on them in practice or in games.
Smush Parker, Kwame Brown, Lamar Odom, Andrew Bynum, Sasha Vujavic, and even Pau Gasol have all encountered Bryant’s wrath of being on the wrong end of a good yelling.
I guess having patience with players would be an ideal trait of an NBA executive, something Bryant probably is short on.
Maybe Kobe decides to join the broadcast booth instead.
