I once asked him who the coolest player was and he said Kobe was by far the kindest.

Said he would talk to the ball boys give them stuff and just treat them really well, even though they were working for the Jazz.

He said KG was the worst treated them like trash.

I had always thought Kobe was kind of a jerk, early career media drama and the feud with Shaq made me think that.

But after hearing that from a diehard Jazz fan, I changed my mind a bit. And towards the end of his career I really grew to respect him.
