He tells a story about how when him and Kobe argue one day, and

Past simple

they were on a jet with both families, and Kobe didn't talk to him.

It was a play that happened on the court where it was in New Orleans.

They kept doing this, like, pick and roll play, and he was the.

And, you know, I had said it a couple times to him, like, you gotta help.

And then he got upset, and then we got to the bench, and it was like, man, you.

And I said, yo, you ain't gonna talk to me.

then after that, it was kind of like we didn't talk for a while.

Like, we didn't talk at the All Star Game and all these different things.

And, you know, I just felt like, dang, like, what happened?

Like, I felt like it was all my fault, but

I was like, man, I was just only thinking in the moment, like, hey, you gotta help.

He was upset at me over something that I was actually trying to do, but

I was like, I know, I'm trying to, but I'm telling the coach.

So then I'm like, I don't know what to do.

So it ended up being something where he had.

He had given me really bad body language.

Like, me and him, like, when we would lose, we'd be up at, like, 3, 4 in the morning, just not able to sleep.

I texted him, and I was like, hey, man, like, I really don't appreciate the body language.

You know, he came back with a sharp response, and then I went back at him.

It ended cordial, where I ended up saying.

I was like, I'm not saying that you can't teach me.

You're obviously, like, a hundred times the player I am.

I want to learn anything and everything I can from you.

I'm just asking, can you just say, you know, and

do it in a way that's, like, respectful to me as A man, right?

And so he was like, all right, I got you.

And then he sent over a text with a, with some advice.

I'm gonna think on this of exactly what you're saying.

We didn't speak for the next five months.

Yeah, it was, it was like, for him, it was.

We patched up later, but he had talked about like, he's not used to people challenging him.

And I wasn't challenging him like, I'm better than you.

I was only challenging him like, hey, can you teach me in a way that's a little bit more effective for me to process?

It's not versus not like talking down to me.

And shortly after that, he ended up having a season ending injury, but we didn't speak for months.

We're walking by each other in the facility.

We're doing events together, team appearances together.

It was just me and him and then his, his, his.

One member of his business team and one member of my business team.

And it wasn't until the following year when I was with the Hornets, when we played where he came up to the middle of the game and he was just like, what's up, man?

And that's when I knew he was kind of like, respect, you know, I still, I still have love for you.
