In a recent interview, Nick Young shared some notable stories from his NBA days, highlighting interactions with legends Kobe Bryant and Michael Jordan. Young recalled how Kobe displayed tough love toward his teammates, famously throwing Young's Adidas sneakers in the trash, insisting he only endorses Nike. Despite Kobe’s sometimes harsh demeanor, Young managed to obtain a pair of signed Nike shoes from him later. Young also remembered about working at Michael Jordan's camp, where he accidentally broke a lamp. Unlike Kobe, Jordan had a unique way of 'punishing' Young and his colleagues by handing them paychecks that couldn't be cashed. Instead, Jordan offered a photo opportunity as compensation. Young’s anecdotes provide a glimpse into the contrasting personalities and motivational tactics of Bryant and Jordan, emphasizing their intense drive and high standards, albeit through different means.
