A 2 Time All-Star Reveals Kobe Bryant’s Dislike of Going out and His Obsession With Watching Game Tapes

It’s no secret that Kobe Bryant was a recluse who prioritized his basketball fixation over everything else. In his pursuit of the legendary Michael Jordan, Bryant spared no effort to research the game and hone his skills. His passion for the game enthralled everyone who happened to come across him.

This is the reason that when a young Baron Davis went to see Mamba, the sight of the hundreds of basketball videos in his room caused his head to spin. He found it incomprehensible that a child of his age could be so engrossed in the game that all he would do was talk, breathe, and exude basketball.

Rather than get out with his friends, the five-time champion liked to watch NBA tapes. Davis came to the conclusion that the Lakers icon was, in fact, a peculiar individual and that he had never met anyone else like him. The two-time All-Star explained, on the Games With Names podcast,

So we go over Kobe’s house, tour the house, hangin’ out, Like ‘Yo this is my room’ as big as this and like on the side of the wall is just tapes, like, DVD tapes. I’m like ‘Damn, bro what’s all this? Like you ever wanna hang out? Go out? Go to the movies? Get out?’ He’s like, ‘Nah, nah’ I was like ‘What you be doing?’ He was like, ‘Man I’m sitting watching tapes’.

Baron Davis was unable to comprehend the depth of Bryant’s obsession with basketball. This young man is addicted to the TV, viewing hundreds of basketball tapes, even though he might be having the time of his life after grinding it out on the court. However, this is precisely what made him stand out from the others.
