 In 2007, Nike flew me to Los Angeles to work the first ever Kobe Bryant Skills Academy. Now I had lived in a basketball bubble my entire life, so I had heard the urban legend of how insanely intense Kobe's individual workouts were. So since I was on camp staff, I asked him if I could watch one. He said, sure, I'm going tomorrow at four. I said, but Kobe, we have a camp workout tomorrow at 3.30. He said, no, I'm going at four AM.
