Kobe Bryant Learns Low Post Moves From Hakeem Olajuwon
20 Second Timeout —
Kobe Bryant has won four NBA championships, an Olympic Gold Medal, a Finals MVP, a regular season MVP and two scoring titles while earning seven All-NBA First Team selections (11 All-NBA selections overall) and seven All-Defensive First Team selections (nine All-Defensive Team selections overall)--but he is still extremely focused on honing his skills or, as Hall of Fame quarterback Steve Young would say, "perfecting his craft." ...
Kobe Bryant’s Summer Quest for a Post Move
Hardwood Paroxysm —
I’m apparently way behind on my Xs & Os of Basketball reading because I’m just seeing this fantastic video. It features two of my favorite things on Earth: Hakeem talking and smiling, and Kobe continuing his relentless and probably psychologically damaging quest to become the best basketball player of all time.
As soon as Kobe got to the League, it was clear that he was great and that he was probably going to continue to be great in this League throughout his career unless he developed a coke habit. But this is why he’s in the ...

Ball Don't Lie —
In an effort to take his game to the next level over the summer, Lakers guard Kobe Bryant(notes) solicited help from of one of the greatest players of all time — and personal favorite — Hakeem Olajuwon.

World’s Best Scorer Isn’t Too Proud to Learn from Another Great
Larry Brown Sports —
I’ve been more than critical of Kobe Bryant throughout his tenure with the Lakers. Although Kobe’s character has turned me off, I always respected what I’ve heard is a legendary work ethic. Now I have no choice but to once and for all accept Kobe Bryant for what he stands for after seeing a few clips played on TNT Thursday night. When the Lakers were playing the Rockets, not only could you see Kobe show off some of his new offensive moves, but you also saw TNT play a video of Kobe training with Hakeem Olajuwon during the offseason. Turns out Kobe went out of his way to contact The ...

By Lance Fell
Sam Presti, assistant General Manager of the San Antonio Spurs, liked what he saw on the court in Europe that summer. He saw a player who was physical, played bothends of the court, and had tremendous speed. His offensive skills were a little rough around the edges, but the potential was too great to ignore. So ...
