Tyron Lu: I was also a one-on-one expert back then, but I never won when I was 1V1 with Kobe

Clippers head coach Tyron Lu was interviewed by Sharp and recalled his time as a teammate with Kobe. He said that he had never won a single fight with Kobe.

"I played one-on-one with Kobe many times, and I couldn't win at all," Lu said. "Whenever the team went to play away, Kobe and I would train together every day, just me and him. Then my cousin (Doodle) would go to the stadium, and I played one-on-one with him, but I never could win him. You know, I was also a great singles player at that time. So when we (after training) we drove back, he would ask, 'Brother, you Why can't I win him? 'I said, 'Brother, I don't know either. '"

"I just can't win him. Then about two years later, he became the well-known "Kobe". I thought, Oh, I understand why, do you understand what I mean? Alas, I understand why I can never win him. But many people don't have the chance to see it, I mean, Kobe's ball control skills are as skilled as tying a ball with a rope. All those "And One” (2+1) fancy moves, he almost never conceded the ball," Lu added.
