I've heard the exact same thing said about TMac over the years. I don't know whether it's true or not, and the only ones who can actually answer that is themselves. I will say though, when it comes to pure talent, TMac and Vince are easily up there for players who didn't live up to their potential, which is pretty crazy considering how good their careers were.
Lol this discourse is always funny because players like T-Mac and Vince definitely put in more work than 90% of the population at their respective occupations
Just that we have people like Kobe that set the precedent of Mamba Mentality and never taking a second of the day off to the point where he’s getting 4 hours of sleep
I mean the results showed, but 99.9% of people are not working that hard
Which doesn’t make them lazy either, they’re just not batshit crazy like Bean
Not saying he didn't work hard, but folks gotta also realize a lot of that is marketing and hype and narratives built around people. We didn't hear about "mamba mentality" when kobe was trying to rap and shit.
When ever someone boast about being sleep deprived because he works too hard he's bullshiting, especially for athletes. How you gonna train hard if you don't give your body proper rest to recover.
There's a correlation between lack of sleep and cancer. I've always found it odd people boast about no sleep and able to work.
Sure you can get tons of shit done but when is over get ready for the diseases that will ravage your body when you retire.
Yep, Shohei ohtani says he sleeps like 9 hours a day and take naps during the afternoon to keep his performance at a high standard. And he's probably the greatest two way baseball player ever at this point with no exaggeration.
