奧尼爾對科比的採訪,談到兩人的分歧
奧尼爾:我夏天很輕鬆,我準備好的時候我將會準備好,我知道反正有你。
科比:這是我看你不爽的地方
隊友時,也許兩人都是為了表明我是老大,但最根本的矛盾,大概在於科比追求極致的性格。
霍華德也是,當時可以唯一單防詹姆斯的人,最終無法讓追求極致的科比認可,才有了遠走休斯敦,也有了後來成了對手時的科比的那句「soft, try me」。當霍華德經歷多了,理解了科比的追求極致之後,就有了下面的專訪中的話
「當時科比罵我軟蛋,用「軟蛋」這樣的字眼使我很生氣。我覺得我打球很強硬,根本就不是軟蛋。所以那段時間我很討厭他(I hated him)」
「時至今日,我才明白科比那些話的意思。他是希望我在心態上能更認真,現在回想起來,我的心中只有感謝。
好雞湯!
科比:無論你怎麼努力,你都不會比我更努力
詹姆斯:你不能欺騙過程 You can't cheat process
