Kobe Bryant is the subject of an in depth profile in the current issue of the New Yorker.
In the piece, Kobe opens up about everything from the twilight of his NBA career, last season’s remarkable play before his Achilles injury, and his partnership and personal battles with Shaquille O’Neal.
One part of the profile that is sure to draw reactions is Kobe’s reaction to Shaq’s playfulness and his penchant for being lazy.

It’s old news, but definitely fascinating to see how two of the NBA’s all time great differed in their approach to training and taking the game seriously.
