Gilbert Arenas Reveals What Made Kobe Bryant Different

Kobe Bryant was an NBA superstar who wasn’t afraid of anyone.

He also wasn’t afraid of pushing his teammates and getting the most out of them.

Speaking on his show, Gilbert Arenas said that Bryant tested his teammates every single day.

He felt that if his teammates were scared of him, they’d be scared of opponents too.

So, he wanted players who were driven and ready to battle hard without being intimidated.

Arenas pointed out that the players who stepped up against Bryant, such as Metta World Peace and Matt Barnes, later found a spot on the Los Angeles Lakers alongside him.

That’s not a coincidence, Arenas said.

“Every time you walk into practice, every time you see him, he’s testing you.”
