NBA

Pallacanestro Reggiana youth team head coach Andrea Menozzi told an anecdot about Kobe Bryant. Menozzi was Kobe Bryant's head coach while he was a little boy in Italy:

 

"Kobe was an above average talent, he was a passionate boy, cute, always present at practice. At that age no one could say he would become the best player in the world, but he was a pure talent. Despite he was born in '78, he used to played with the guys born in '77. One day we were at a tournament in Castiglione delle Stiviere and we were winning easily. Kobe was on the bench and began to beg me: "Coach let me play please!" I told him defiantly no, because he was unable to score .. .With with his Tuscan accent, learned in Pistoia, he replied totally convinced: "No coach I'll score, let me play!"
