Kobe Bryant can be called the most diligent player in NBA. His life creed is: basketball is life. Kobe's talent may not be the best in the league, but everyone has heard his story of the 4:00 a.m. sun in Los Angeles. It is through continuous practice that Kobe trained himself into a basketball machine, constantly learned and improved his basketball skills, and finally cultivated himself into a generation of basketball gods.

I never regarded basketball as my job until the first season when I officially joined the NBA team. I was surrounded by the best basketball players selected from all over the world. I thought they regarded basketball as everything in my life, but finally I found that I was wrong. I was the only one around who regarded basketball as everything in my life and devoted all my life to basketball.

Kobe shared a little story about him and O.J. Mayo. In 2007, O.J. Mayo was the first basketball player in high school in the United States. At that time, he participated in the Basketball Academy held by Kobe. Once O.J. Mayo asked Kobe if he could train with him. Kobe finally agreed. Kobe said, "yes, I'll pick you up at three o'clock tomorrow." After three o'clock in the afternoon the next day, O.J. Mayo didn't wait for Kobe. Kobe replied, "I said three o'clock, it's three o'clock in the morning."

Chris Bosh and Dwyane Wade shared a story on ESPN. During the 2008 Olympic Games, when everyone was sleeping, Kobe Bryant got up every morning at the dawn of Ling min for training. Bosh said, "when we were training in Las Vegas, the players in the training camp had just prepared breakfast at 8 o'clock in the morning. I saw Kobe coming in, his sportswear soaked with sweat, ice on his knees, and his tactical board in his hand. I didn't know when he got up and had been training for several hours." Wade added: "everyone just woke up and yawned. Kobe has been training for more than three hours. I saw him practicing all day."

The Los Angeles Lakers traded center Vlad Divac for 17-year-old Kobe Bryant, which is equivalent to investing in the future. But after Kobe arrived at the Lakers, he spent almost all his time in the strength room and ball dealer training. Lakers assistant coach bill boteka said that they once worried that such training would cause injuries.

Kobe Bryant was a rookie in 1997, and his three-point technology has not been developed. At that time, holly, Brian Shaw, Mitch Richmond and Kurt Rambis of the Lakers would conduct three-point competition training every day, Holly said, "Kobe Bryant will lose every three-point game. When we went to the court for training the next day, we found that Kobe had practiced three points there. Of course, each of us will beat him, but it's incredible that Kobe will never stop training. A few months later, he finally won all of us. That's why he won the championship because of his indomitable spirit and obsessive-compulsive practice."

Kobe told Bloomberg: "what I learn is not limited to great basketball players, but all excellent people. It's not just to call others and tell myself the problem. Although it's simple, it's stupid. I want to know more, if they want and implement it, and how they see the world."

In 2011, Vanessa filed for divorce with Kobe Bryant. In order to save his love and marriage, Kobe Bryant did not ask a teacher to listen and learn to play the piano in order to show his sincerity. "It's too easy to sit down and listen to lessons, so I listen to music and teach myself the piano. If you sit down quietly and think I must play until I learn it, then there will be nothing you can't learn in the end." After listening to Beethoven's Moonlight music countless times, Kobe Bryant not only successfully learned to play this music, but also felt strength, vulnerability, joy, love and pain. Finally, he successfully won Vanessa's change of heart.

John Celeste thinks he is the hardest trained team he has played for. He is always the first to arrive at the gym and the last to leave. The next day he joined Kobe's Los Angeles Lakers, he was a little excited because Kobe had just been injured, so it was proper for him to arrive at the training hall today. But when he walked to the training room, he was surprised to hear the sound of basketball hitting the floor, John celestede said he was thinking, "no, it's impossible!" But when he came to the court, he saw with his own eyes: "Kobe Bryant's right arm is on the fixed frame, and he is practicing dribbling and shooting with his left hand. His training clothes have been soaked with sweat."

During the 2012 Olympic Games, the U.S. men's basketball team trained in Las Vegas. The first team match was arranged in the evening. A player received a call from Kobe Bryant at 3:30 a.m. and invited him to the court for training, but when he arrived, he found that Kobe had been training alone on the court, and his clothes had been soaked with sweat. At that time, he looked at his watch, and it was not 5 o'clock in the morning, The player returned to the hotel for a rest after training for 90 minutes. When he returned to the court at noon, he found that Kobe was still practicing there and had never left, because he had just completed his daily routine of 800 shooting exercises.

Kobe's training is not just to spend a long time practicing basketball skills in the training hall, but to train in the most effective way. When Kobe was still young, he had learned Karim Abdul Jabbar's hook, Magic Johnson's hook and James Worthy's footwork. Jordan, the God of basketball, said that he was great because he stood on the shoulders of his predecessors. Kobe's success also depended on learning from others. As the greatest competitors of his time, Dirk novitz and Tim Duncan, Kobe also learned from them all the time on the court. Kobe told Spike Lee, "I have learned Duncan's backboard shooting and Nowitzki's golden independence."
