6 stories that prove there will never be another Kobe Bryant

#5 Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh's anecdote

Chris Bosh and Dwyane Wade's shared an incredible anecdote

Dwayne Wade and Chris Bosh shared an incredible anecdote with Michael Wallace of ESPN about the 2008 Olympics. This was just 10 days after the Lakers lost to the Celtics in the NBA finals and Kobe was back at it as usual.

"We're in Las Vegas and we all come down for team breakfast at the start of the whole training camp," Bosh said. "And Kobe comes in with ice on his knees and with his trainers and stuff. He's got sweat drenched through his workout gear. And I'm like, 'It's 8 o'clock in the morning, man. Where in the hell is he coming from?'"

Wade added, "Everybody else just woke up. We're still stretching and yawning, and he's already three hours and a full workout into his day."

"You never forget stuff like that," Bosh said. "I felt so bad. I'm like, ‘What is he trying to prove?' But he was just doing his normal routine. We're all supposed to be big-time NBA players, Olympians and stuff. And then there's Kobe, taking it to another level from Day 1. And I had been off for like three months."

"We're all sitting there thinking, 'Man, I've got to reevaluate what I'm doing as a player,'" Wade said.
