Brandon “Scoop B” Robinson: Have you ever seen Kobe lose his temper while practicing or playing? What is that? Earl Clark: I mean, we compete in practice every day, you know? I’m with white people, [Devin] Ebanks, Jordan Hill…they are back to back [NBA Championship] But we don’t care about that shit, we try to get it for a few minutes, so we’re going to go to them! Of course, you know Kobe works hard every time! But this is some tired people who tend to take a few days off. So, one time in practice we beat them a few games and we were talking about “Smack, do you know what I’m talking about”? He just flipped, brother! He finished the practice, flipped the table and told everyone on the team: “We have to tighten it up! We can’t get better this way! “He just left, do you know what I’m talking about? But a lot of times he’ll blow up, flip the table, leave the practice is over, do you know what I’m talking about? People are misunderstood about Kobe, like I’ve never been to Kobe, where he’s been, super jerks or talking to his teammates. What he doesn’t like is soft guys. So if you don’t do your job, he’ll catch you, you avoid your curl, he doesn’t really trust you in basketball, so do you know what I’m talking about? He wants to see who the dog is, so it’s time to win and go out and fight, and he knows who can be with him. -via scoopb.com / July 9, 2025
