Adrian Wojnarowski: Now, this was 2013. Even then, it wasn’t as intense as it will be in 2023. There weren’t a zillion folks on it but. I nonetheless have this one e-mail on my cellphone. His e-mail was one thing like “BulMambaXX” or one thing, and I keep in mind it was on my BlackBerry. He simply wrote, “You don’t need to hit me daily. I’ll let you know once I’m coming again.” I said, “Okay, I’m not going to.” Kobe didn’t like to be pestered. I didn’t pester him. I said, “Alright, you’ll tell me when you’re ready.” Then, one Saturday morning, I received an e-mail. It simply mentioned, “First day.” That was his approach of claiming, “I’m again.” I keep in mind I hit somebody with the Lakers and mentioned, “Kobe simply practiced.” They replied, “Yep.” So, I put it on the market. -via YouTube / December 7, 2024
