Just before I left home to come back to South Africa to finish #TombRaider I was invited to the #warriorsground to watch my favorite basketball team #gold state warriors practice. It was a fun time for the whole family. One of the best days of my life! #dubnation
Happy Birthday Kobe.
Story time.
For almost a decade Kobe would come to Asia as part of his summer tour. We would hit up different cities and have huge events. There would be practices with games, prizes, sometimes a DJ, and we envisioned the televised events to be a little more light hearted. We couldn’t have been more wrong because we learned very early that the moment Kobe steps onto a basketball court, you have entered his place of worship. Practice is all business and the goal EVERYTIME is to improve, no time for games. Biz-nis!
This one time we held an open workout with very skilled players. It was in a large gym with maybe 2000 spectators. Nike had 3-4 coaches running the clinic and Kobe wasn’t even coaching, just observing. The drill that the kids were running was a feed into the post. A 180 pivot to face the basket, a pump fake, and then a fallaway jumper. If u a Kobe fan, u have seen him do this a 1000x. This young man takes his turn, does the move, misses the shot and begins to trot to the back of the line. Then came the Mamba moment, I remember it like yesterday. With no mic, Kobe hollers “STOP!” and the whole gym goes silent. He tells the kid to do it again and the young man repeats and misses the shot. Embarrassed. All eyes on the kid. Do it again Kobe says. Kid does the move and misses. Nervous. Again! The player spins, pump fakes, fallaway, splash, nothing but net. Everyone applauds and the kid smiles big. Kobe straight faced says, do it AGAIN off the right foot. And again off the left foot and then again off the right. The kid must’ve done the same move at least 5 times on each side with the crowd watching in anxiety and all the other players just standing. He’s definitely embarrassed and the crowd is embarrassed for him. But time stands still. The whole time Kobe is teaching this kid calmly, never yelling, and I can hear clearly so I translate for the crowd. He’s telling the kid about spin speed and the angle his foot should be at upon release. He’s teaching the kid the best angle to fallaway and to feel the opponent’s body pressure. He’s dissecting it down like science and we just stand there while this kid does it another 10 times. Again and again and again, it goes on for minutes. Whether the shot went in wasn’t the focus, the perfect movement was. Everyone is stunned at the detail and meticulousness that Kobe is exhibiting to teach his signature move. Kobe then says that if u can feel the side ur opponent is playing u on, and if u can make a perfect fake, and if u can spin at the right speed, and your fallaway angle is perfect, NO ONE can defend this shot. You can only make or miss it, but no one can stop you, so it’s all on YOU. He puts his arm around the young man and says good job.
Teaching. Coaching. Mentoring.
I have tears in my eyes as do half the crowd. Everyone erupts in respect and appreciation for a man who loves and has perfected his craft. Standing ovation.
MVP chants.
Kobe chants.
Mamba Mentality.

The Philadelphia 76ers played more like a playoff team than one mired in a miserable stretch of basketball.
Thaddeus Young had 26 points and 14 rebounds, Allen Iverson scored 20 points and the 76ers snapped a 12-game losing streak with a 117-101 victory over the Golden State Warriors on Monday night.
Iverson was a rookie the last time the Sixers lost 13 straight in the 1996-97 season. He played the best game of his four-game second stint in Philadelphia to help avoid another unlucky 13-game skid on his resume.
The Sixers had all five starters and two reserves score in double digits.
"We felt like once we did get a win, it was going to be extremely hard, one of the hardest games to win," Iverson said. "It was totally opposite."
Iverson hit the 20-point mark for the second straight game a day after his having his left knee drained of fluid. Young was sensational, using an 11-of-15 effort in the first half to give the Sixers a rare comfortable lead and easy win.
"It's been working for us, but we just couldn't get the win," Young said. "It really worked tonight."
Looking for a spark, 76ers coach Eddie Jordan benched power forward Elton Brand and paired rookie Jrue Holiday in the backcourt with Iverson. Jordan's move worked: Holiday had 15 points, seven rebounds and six assists.
"He just put us in a good rhythm tonight and had us flowing," Iverson said.
Brand, who was previously benched in some fourth quarters, said it was hard to complain about his role after a victory. He just can't believe he's considered a bench player early in the second year of an $80 million, five-year deal.
"When you look around at other teams, yeah," Brand said. "It's like, no disrespect, but [Golden State's] Mikki Moore gets the start and I don't. Not that he's not a good player, but, definitely."
Andre Iguodala left briefly with bruised ribs and scored 14 points on brutal 4-of-20 shooting. He's day-to-day and was not expected to practice Tuesday.
Corey Maggette led the Warriors with 24 points and Anthony Randolph had 15. Golden State lost its third straight in the finale of a five-game trip that started Dec. 7.
"You can't make excuses about a long trip," Maggette said.
Iverson's return generated a short burst of excitement, but not wins. His box office appeal is already lukewarm with only 12,795 fans listed to watch a slumping Sixers team.
Iverson joked at shootaround that after his ill-fated stint with Memphis, he sat home "trying to get fat." He wasn't in game shape and the Sixers came in with a bloated 18 losses.
He teamed with Young to make eight of 11 shots in the first quarter to help build a 12-point lead. Young really got rolling in the second quarter. He kept close to the basket and used a flurry of layups to score 14 points. He did hit a nice turnaround jumper that stretched the lead to 15.
Iverson capped the half by drawing a midair foul with 1 second left, hitting two free throws to make it 71-57.
Philadelphia won for only the third time in 19 games and its 12-game losing streak was the longest since 2006. Iverson was around for the start of that one three years ago before he was traded and the end of this one after his return.
Iverson acknowledges the years of banging down the lane and crashing the court have taken a severe toll on his 34-year-old frame. He's limited at shootarounds and practices -- by coaches decision, not complaint -- and no longer has the quickest first step in the league.
"I've been dealing with that the last 5, 6 years I've been playing," Iverson said. "I understand that when I fall or hit something that it flares up or gets irritated a lot faster than it used to. That comes from getting older."
By the time the fourth quarter rolled around, Iverson could rest. Willie Green's 3-pointer with 9:10 left in the fourth gave the Sixers 102 points, meaning free food at a fast-food restaurant for the few fans who bought tickets.
Iverson — who is a member of the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame Class of 2016 — sits down with NBA TV's Steve Smith for an hour-long segment chronicling his journey from Hampton, Va. to Georgetown University, all the way up to his heyday with the Philadelphia 76ers and, of course, his infamous "Practice" press conference.
Also featured during the segment will be Iverson's former coaches John Thompson and Larry Brown, former 76ers president Pat Croce, Iverson's long-time manager Gary Moore, his former teammates George Lynch and Aaron McKie, and Hall of Famers Charles Barkley and Isiah Thomas.
