Draymond Green’s Kobe Bryant Encounter
Golden State Warriors’ Draymond Green shares a memorable encounter with the late Los Angeles Lakers legend Kobe Bryant from his rookie season. Green’s attempt at trash-talking the iconic scorer during a game led to a humorous and humbling response from Bryant.
Despite Green’s defensive efforts in a crucial game moment, Bryant, known for his unwavering confidence, brushed off the rookie’s excitement over a missed shot, attributing it to his own error rather than Green’s defense. This interaction showcases Bryant’s mental fortitude and the respect he commanded on the court. Additionally, the jersey Bryant wore during the infamous 2013 game where he suffered a torn Achilles, yet heroically scored two free throws, was auctioned for a staggering $1.22 million, underlining the enduring legacy of the NBA superstar.
