I'm a Lakers fan and have liked Kobe since I was a little kid but he's not the greatest of all time. That would be Michael Jordan.

This could definitely just be a guy making up a story about Kobe, but I have no doubt that there are times he has practiced 5 hours on his own before a team practice or something along those lines.

Every guy who played with him in 2008 was awestruck at how much work the guy put in, and I think it had a direct effect on how hard LeBron and Carmelo worked from that point forward.

A pretty good read if you have the patience for the three minutes it takes to read it.

With that said, having a strong work ethic doesn't equate to GOAT.

So if anybody worked as hard as Kobe or Jordan they would automatically become NBA superstars?

If there was a workout spectrum, Kobe would be on one end and Royce White would be on the other.

Who is considered the best ever at their sport that doesn't have a good work ethic?

I read that, it actually is a cool story bro, should put it in quotes though so people don't think you're trying to claim it as your own

Oh, I agree that work ethic is a factor in being a sucessful athlete, (for opposite, see Jamarcus Russell) however I don't think using work ethic as a basis for arguing a player as GOAT is valid. A lot of athletes probably work just as hard and don't experience the same success.

It's always interesting hearing stories about how hard athletes like MJ practiced/competed, but that doesn't mean he's the only athlete that ever worked that hard.
