Today, former NBA player Wesley Johnson talked about Kobe while working on the show online.
In 2014, Clay, who had just signed a four-year contract extension, beat the Lakers as if he had a helping hand against the Lakers.
Wesley Johnson recalled the situation at that time, saying: "I remember Clay had just signed a new contract, but he was crazy and almost didn't hit the iron. We lost the game. My life in the Lakers was difficult for those two years, and I lost the game. After the game, he (Kobe) sent me a long text message saying it was his talent and his curse - he took everything alone. So, when you say 'Mamba spirit', it's actually very appropriate. Because I saw and flipped through that text message with my own eyes, he told me, 'If you need it, you can fight against everyone alone.' As my first year with the Lakers (Bryant didn't play due to injury), when I read this content, I thought, 'Oh, it turns out that he has such a side. I understand that this is not Kobe in training, but Kobe in the game.' At that moment, I suddenly realized in my mind, 'Okay, now I know why it's difficult for many teammates and many colleagues to fight side by side with him - because he has extremely high standards and enthusiasm for the game."
On November 2, 2014, Clay made 14 of 18 shots, 5 of 7 three-pointers, 8 of 9 free throws, and scored 41 points, 5 rebounds and 2 assists in the Warriors' game against the Lakers.
