Kobe Bryant Reveals Evil Strategy He Used, To Destroy Opponents

We all know that Kobe Bryant has been enjoying life as an NBA superstar. We also know, that Kobe was a great trash-talker and had some pretty great mind tricks.

In an interview with the Wall Street Journal, Kobe revealed, that the best strategy is to empathize with the opponent and plan accordingly, in order to destroy them quicker.

There would be certain teams that had a player that they just signed to a max contract. And then a supporting player who was up for free agency who they hadn’t signed yet. So when we played them during the season, I’m saying, OK, here’s what we’re going to do: We’re going to double-team the guy that hasn’t gotten a max contract yet. We’re not gonna let him get a shot off. And then we’re going to single-cover the guy that has the max contract, and then watch the guy that doesn’t have the max contract bitch and complain about not getting the ball all night long, and watch them divide each other. Those are the little, subtle things we would do that simply comes from observation and understanding your opponent.

That’s as evil as it gets! Kudos, Mr. Bryant!
