Excerpt from ‘Lakers: Kobe Bryant Offered Michael Vick Advice On Athletic Greatness’ article by Alex Kirschenbaum:
Retired four-time Pro Bowl quarterback Michael Vick, now a Fox Sports commentator, recently spoke with Brandon Scoop B Robinson of Bally Sports about his relationship with departed Los Angeles Lakers Hall of Fame shooting guard.
Here are the highlights of Vicks comments:
It was always cool, I mean Kobe said what he wanted to say vocally, but still kind of reserved it at the same time. Always dropping gems, man. Be great, man. It was always like motivational talk. Talking with Kobe was like being motivated on so many levels.
When asked by Robinson about the all-time NBA GOAT debate, Vick weighed in with his personal top three, which included two Lakers legends:
I enjoy that topic on so many levels, man, Vick said. Now you gotta add Kobe into that mix. Like yo, [the all-time greats list should comprise] Kobe, LeBron and MJ. Itll never be old... I grew up in the [Michael] Jordan era, but I look at LeBron James, I be like, Man, LeBron, he is serious. Now youre Jason Kidd, Magic [Johnson] and [Allen Iverson] all rolled in one. And youre 68, so go get em.

Excerpt from “I had a responsibility at times to protect him from himself” - Kobe Bryant’s longtime trainer opens up about their time together article by Nicole Ganglani:
For Vitti, Bryant’s success came to fruition because of how the physical and mental aspects of his game bolded well together. This is the kind of balance that challenges athletes because not every single player is as strong mentally or vice versa. Some may be extremely talented but don’t have the drive and determination to be great, while others possess the right mindset but may not have the skills. What made Kobe a five-time champion was his ability to strike a balance between mental and physical skill.
“He replaced those words with - can and will. And somehow he would convince himself that he could do it and he did. It was a mental [and] physical thing. Not just mental, not just physical, it was a combination of those. He was an enigma. He was intellectually brilliant at everything he did,” Vitti added.
There’s probably nobody that can attest to Bryant’s greatness and work ethic behind the scenes more than the one and only Gary Vitti. The long-time trainer deserves just as much praise as Bryant gets because, after all, Vitti was who guided the all-time great to be the legend that he will forever be remembered as.
