The Black Mamba is one of the most dedicated players to have ever stepped foot on the court. He made some interesting comments about Deron Williams, who seemed to have not taken Bryant’s comments lightly. Hit the jump for details.
Via Fansided:
Los Angeles Lakers’ guard Kobe Bryant believes that Williams psyched himself out last season.
“I would go 0-30 before I would go 0-9. 0-9 means you beat yourself, you psyched yourself out of the game, because Deron Williams can get more shots in the game,” Bryant said via Chris Ballard of Sports Illustrated. “The only reason is because you’ve just now lost confidence in yourself.”
Williams didn’t take kindly and fired back.
“I’m a point guard,” Williams said about adopting Bryant’s mentality via The Brooklyn Game. “If I’m 0-for-f**king-9, I’m not shooting 20 more shots. Not going to happen. I’m a point guard. I’m going to find somebody else. Kobe Bryant, that’s what he’s supposed to do. He’s got that mentality. That works for him, I got my mentality, it works for me.”
