As individuals across the sports landscape reflect on the life of Kobe Bryant, a number of heart-warming and amusing anecdotes that were not previously shared are coming to light.
One such anecdote came from Golden State Warriors general Bob Myers, who played basketball at UCLA from 1993-97. During a Monday morning appearance on 95.7 The Game, Myers told the story of how he met Bryant in the late '90s when Bryant was a young player in the NBA and Myers worked under sports agent Arn Tellem after graduating from UCLA.
"When you watch sports now, we all kind of moan at how guys don't play as hard, guys don't play hurt, load management," Myers said.
