Kobe’s intensity about winning has been at 100 MPH for 20 years. It is his last year, the team sucks, so if he wants to laugh and joke during blowout losses he has earned that right.
I don’t know about this cat barking analogy, but whatever the case no one should be questioning his desire to win, it was his greatest strength and possibly his greatest weakness.
