D’Angelo Russell on Kobe Bryant: ‘In relation to movie and like appreciating the sport and the greats like by no means taking a day without work, I sat subsequent to him on the airplane and he would have his cellphone like… he was at all times like that, and I’m like I by no means like I don’t know what the heck he’s doing, dang, what the heck is he doing?! So sooner or later he did one thing, I noticed he was watching movie, he’s watching the highlights! So this complete time he’s tuned to what’s happening… 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 seen that like that movie sh*t is actual, what I realized from him I simply watched him, I realized how he moved, how he walked, how he talked, his presence prefer it was actual, I imply he was one of many GOATs.’ -via YouTube / January 21, 2025
