Kobe Day: NBA photographer explains how Bryant, Michael Jordan differed
Kobe日: 聯盟攝影師解釋Kobe跟Michael Jordan的差別在哪邊

It’s the first “Kobe Day” since Kobe Bryant died in a helicopter crash,
and fans across the country have shared their thoughts and memories about the
Los Angeles Lakers superstar. Renowned NBA photographer Andrew Bernstein
joined in on the celebration on the John Roa Show, by sharing some of his
insights about Bryant, and his similarities to Michael Jordan.


“I wasn’t around Michael as much, but they both had that look in their eye,
that assassin’s look,” said Bernstein. “They relished, they absolutely
relished at the most complex, the most nerve-wracking time. Just give them
the ball.”
「我沒有跟Michael相處那麼多，但是他們兩個的眼睛都有著相同眼神，就是刺客的樣
子，」Bernstein說。「他們非常享受在最困難，最讓人神經緊繃的時刻，就是把球給他
們。」

Bernstein got his start shooting photos for the NBA at the 1983 All-Star game
and recalls meeting Bryant when he was 17 years old. Over the course of his
career he says he got to know Bryant pretty well and cited Tim Grover, a
trainer for both Bryant and Jordan, for lighting on a key difference between
the two players.


“They both worked out hard,” Bernstein said. “They both were religious
workaholics in terms of their physical fitness and being in shape. The
difference was that Michael didn’t care about the ‘why.’ Michael just
wanted to get stronger, get bigger, and get in the best possible shape he
could be.


“Kobe was relentless about asking about the ‘why.’ Like, ‘Why are we
doing this exercise? Why are we working on these muscles?’ And that was
really the difference between the two of them.”
「Kobe則是不停的問"為什麼"。像是說，『為什麼要做這個訓練？為什麼我們要練這部分
的肌肉？』那就是這兩個人真正的差別所在。」

That story tracks with the narrative of Bryant being one of the game’s most
dedicated students, in addition to one of the most talented players. In ‘The
Last Dance,’ one episode explores the big brother/little brother
relationship between the two players, and expands on Bryant asking tons of
questions, trying to learn as much as he could from Jordan.


“I had a question about shooting his turnaround shot so I asked him about it,
” Bryant recalled while discussing the first time he met Jordan at the 1998
All-Star Game. “He gave me a great detailed answer, but on top of that, he
said, ‘If you ever need anything, give me a call.’”


According to Jordan, Bryant made the most of that invitation.
根據Jordan的說法，Kobe真的好好利用了這個機會。

“He used to call me, text me, 11:30, 2:30, 3 o'clock in the morning,”
Jordan said during Bryant’s memorial service. “Talking about post-up moves,
footwork and sometimes, the triangle. At first, it was an aggravation. But
then it turned into a certain passion. This kid had passion like you would
never know.


"Maybe it surprised people that Kobe and I were very close friends,” he
said. “But we were very close friends. Kobe was my dear friend. He was like
a little brother.”
「我跟Kobe是非常要好的朋友這件事或許讓人有點驚訝，」Jordan說。「但是我們是非常
好的朋友，Kobe是我很親密的朋友，他像是我的弟弟一樣。」
