“I heard you’re a defensive lockdown player. So, lock me down.”
this dude (Kobe) is crazy as and I love it.....downright maniacal..my
I swear this the kinda I would be doing to teammates
“We’re gonna start playing one-on-one,” Bryant told Gaffney, according to the forward. “I heard you’re a defensive lockdown player. So, lock me down.”
“Obviously easier said than done,” Gaffney said with a laugh. “But for about three weeks in a row, I was forced to show up hours before practice to play one-on-one against Kobe.”
Bryant would invent various sets of rules where he could only dribble and score with his weak hand; some days he could only score inside the paint, others only from outside.
“Oh, and I never got to play offense,” Gaffney said.
“I heard you’re a defensive lockdown player. So, lock me down.”

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tony_Gaffney
He was a training camp invite in 2009. Didn't make the team.
Was Atlantic 10 DPOY in 2009. And is 6'9 if that's anything... not really.
oooooh yeah....2009....back when the Lakers were still relevant. How could I have missed the infamous Gaffney and his lock down D???
Some of my favorites which was omitted in that articlePrior to that, Gaffney describes his first run into Bryant. “The Lakers had just come off winning an NBA le and the first guy Kobe sees in the gym is myself. He said, ‘who the is this?'” Former Lakers mate Lamar Odom followed up by telling Gaffney, “Kobe doesn’t like motherf*****s like you.” From that point on, Gaffney had to carry Bryant’s bags, “but we had a unique relationship,” he recalled. .
The Lakers had checked in at The Mirage Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas where Gaffney had his rookie initiation party. “L.A. made it clear that I made the team. I was the last player cut at morning shootaround on opening night against the Clippers,” he explained. “I walked into the high-stakes room but I didn’t have any money. I then saw Kobe, he was watching some guys throw some money around before he turns to me and says, ‘what are you doing here rook?' Next thing I know,” Gaffney recalled, “Kobe throws his black card on the table and hands me 10 stacks ($10,000). What I really wanted to do at the time was just put it in my pocket and run. Sure enough, an hour later it was all gone.”
Kirby has now resorted to playing one on one against these no name, pickup game failures to prop up his own ego.
Also, how is it one on one when the opposing player does not get to play offense?
The midget Chinese kid would of been a better matchup.
Once again for the OP
LeBron James could miss his next 1,593 shots and still have a higher career FG% than Kobe Bryant.

Duncan used Richard Jefferson as his guinea pig for testing his bed moves.
