best fighting game helps kobe lying open played player trying wakes
Kobe helps me too, because if I'm ever lying back too much, him trying to get open or him fighting wakes me up. Kobe's game is like smelling salts. If you're lying back, he's going to get you up. He's the best player I've ever played with.

aggressive ball finish great job love protecting throw trying underneath
That was a great move. He's real athletic, so you can just throw the ball by the rim and he'll go up and finish it. We're trying to find him. He's real aggressive underneath the basket. He's protecting our paint, and we love the job that he's doing.
