[@donavonhoward114]

What's funny is that Reggie thought it was just a young buck wanting to play a simple game of 1v1, and probably thought nothing of it. Kobe was looking for weaknesses offensively, and defensively for the future. That's how Kobe thought about the game, 10 steps ahead, and not looking backward. Stay in the moment, and prepare for the future. When something goes wrong, take notes from it, and move on to the next play. That's what is often lost when people speak about the Mamba Mentality. It's not all about the alpha midset, and being tough. It's about thinking logically, tactically, and working toward your goals in the most efficient way possible, and keeping your cards close to your chest so you have a leg up against your competition. Don't let the competition know your intentions. That's some Godfather type stuff. Kobe was a smart sob.
