No.115 "When I went to the camp with Kobe Bryant,
I have never seen --
-Wait. Were you really that good?
-No, no, no. This was when I realized
that my talent was not good, when I saw how good Kobe was.
He played left-handed.
He did the whole basketball camp left-handed,
and this was an invitation-only camp.
It was a...basketball camp.
And I just wasn't good, man. I just wasn't good.
And I was mad at myself 'cause I sold myself this dream,
and this dream just wasn't a 'A'.
Because this man played left-handed,
didn't even take it serious.
He didn't even take it serious, Jimmy.
Kobe Bryant, R.I.P.
To being himself. Rest in peace, legend.
Thank God because Kobe showed me
that I did not have talent
in a game that I thought that I did.
I was horrible. -I'm glad -- I love --
So he played the whole camp left-handed and still...?
-He played the whole camp left-handed.
-Still dominated.
-He was the best player at the camp,
and he was just practicing on his left hand apparently.
-Did he think you were funny?
-We were roommates, actually. We slept in the same room.
We was in the same dorm. -No way.
-We had a blast. It was an overnight camp.
And, you know, it's -- You're kids.
All the silliness that normally ensues ensued --
late-night pranks and, you know,
sneaking into other people's dorms
and fighting with the other campers.
We did all that stuff.
It was just funny because as time progressed,
I saw Kobe transform into the 'B' that he was
and that he will forever be remembered as,
and I just think back to that basketball camp
when I thought that I had the same opportunity
and realized, uh, I didn't, man.
You know? I wasn't [bleep], Jimmy.
I was horrible. No, it's fine.
They should've threw me in the trash at that camp.
That's what they should've did.
Because I didn't have what it takes, okay, Jimmy?
I was bad."
