With the Lakers only having one game this past week, Kobe Bryant wanted to make sure that his teammates didn't relax. Here is a little from the L.A. Times article:
Do you want to be great or just good?
That was the question Kobe Bryant posed to his young Lakers teammates during practice today.
He doesn't want his teammates to become complacent with a 4-0 start, or for them to relax because they have so much time off in-between games, or for them to not put in a high-level effort in practice.Come to work and work hard ever day, Bryant has impressed upon his teammates.
"That's our message for the week is we can either be good or we can be great," Bryant said.
"This is the time that we can really use to get better to make another step forward."
"We're striving for perfection," Lamar Odom said. "We're striving to be perfect."
The result? Last night: Lakers 111 Houston 82
