“ ESPN: I always wanted to see you play Tracy McGrady.
Kobe: I played T-Mac. I cooked him. Roasted him. Wasn’t even close. Ask him, he’ll tell you. When I was about 20, we were in Germany doing some promotional stuff for that other sneaker company and we played basketball everyday. We were in the gym all the time. We played three games of one-on-one to 11. I won all three games. One game I won 11-2. After the third game he said he had back spasms and couldn’t play anymore.
ESPN: His back bothered him for most of his career.Kobe: Well, now you know.
— Kobe sat down with ESPN and talked a lot of shit.
