If there’s one thing everyone knows about Kobe Bryant is that he likes to keep his hands on the ball. Bryant isn’t the type to watch from the sidelines, if he has a shot he’s going to take it. Sometimes it’s come at the detriment to the team because like any other player, Bryant sometimes has bad nights. But even when he’s not shooting well, Kobe keeps shooting.

Gotham Chopra, the director of “Kobe Bryant’s Muse”, an upcoming documentary on Bryant, told a story about being with Kobe and watching the Nets and the Heat play. Recounts Chopra, “Deron Williams went like 0-for-9. I was like, ‘Can you believe Deron Williams went 0-9?’ Kobe was like, ‘I would go 0-30 before I would go 0-9. 0-9 means you beat yourself, you psyched yourself out of the game, because Deron Williams can get more shots in the game. The only reason is because you’ve just now lost confidence in yourself.’
