Kobe reveals evil strategy he used during career

There would be certain teams that had a player that they just signed to a max contract. And then a supporting player who was up for free agency who they hadn't signed yet. So when we played them during the season, I'm saying, OK, here's what we're going to do: We're going to double-team the guy that hasn't gotten a max contract yet. We're not gonna let him get a shot off. And then we're going to single-cover the guy that has the max contract, and then watch the guy that doesn't have the max contract bitch and complain about not getting the ball all night long, and watch them divide each other. Those are the little, subtle things we would do that simply comes from observation and understanding your opponent.

Was that completely weird or what?

Yes, Kobe, that was completely weird. And devious. But it's also the kind of thing basketball fans just assumed you were doing throughout your career.
