D’Angelo Russell on Kobe Bryant: ‘When it comes to film and like appreciating the game and the greats like never taking a day off, I sat next to him on the plane and he would have his phone like… he was always like that, and I’m like I never like I don’t know what the heck he is doing, dang, what the heck is he doing?! So one day he did something, I saw he was watching film, he is watching the highlights! So this whole time he’s tuned to what’s going on… His highlights! So I asked him, ‘You watching your film right now?’ He’s like tuned in and says ‘Yeah all of it, every time, all the time’, straight to my face and he was… no emotion, he would look at you straight up like ‘yep, all the time, every day’. I noticed that like that film sh*t is real, what I learned from him I just watched him, I learned how he moved, how he walked, how he talked, his presence like it was real, I mean he was one of the GOATs.’ -via YouTube / January 21, 2025
