Before the Philadelphia 76ers (http://espn.go.com/nba/team/_/name/phi/philadelphia-76ers) and Los Angeles Lakers (http://espn.go.com/nba/team/_/name/lal/los-angeles-lakers) met on New Year's Eve 2010, Evan Turner (http://espn.go.com/nba/player/_/id/4239/evan-turner) had teammates telling him horror stories about playing against Kobe Bryant (http://espn.go.com/nba/player/_/id/110/kobe-bryant) for the first time.Philly's veterans implored the 22-year-old rookie, "Don't look at him in his eyes! Just leave him alone!"
“It’s kind of crazy because he’s the Black Mamba, so obviously you know how talented he is. And you walk in, you hear horror stories before you play him. But then a funny thing happened.
"He was super nice to me," Turner said. "I had teammates that said, ‘When you go out there, don’t look at him in his eye. Don’t talk to him or anything; it’s going to give him an edge.’ Like he’s some type of pit bull or something. ... Then he came up to me and patted me on my back. He was like, ‘How you doing? How’s your mom?’ I was like, ‘She’s all right.'"
Bryant went on to score 33 points as the defending champion Lakers posted a 102-98 triumph that night. With Bryant set to visit Boston for the final time Wednesday night, Turner reflected Tuesday on the legend of Kobe.
