Kobe's Salty

The LA Lakers suffered a disappointing loss against the Miami Heat, 94-88. Kobe started off hot, as usual, but ended up having some bad plays that may have cost them the win.
Dwyane Wade not only stole the ball from Bryant while he was going for a drive, he also blocked his attempt at a jumper shot as well. Overall, Kobe was only 6-for-18 in his jump shots.

While his teammates got themselves cleaned up after the game and others for the after party scene, Kobe stayed on the court for a little over two hours, shooting jump shot after jump shot, re-perfecting his game. NBA players and reporters watched as he practiced, by himself, at the American Airlines.

@WojYahooNBA: Kobe’s been going for over an hour now on AA Arena floor, covering every spot on the floor with jumpers. He’s out beyond 3-point line now.
@desmond_howard: Kobe put himself through a 1.5hr workout after every1 left the arena. http://twitpic.com/48cen3. He’s not THAT GUY by accident. #DEDICATION
desmond_howard: This is Y I have so much admiration for Kobe as a professional athlete. http://yfrog.com/h3hdvyjj. His professional focus is unmatched
dannyhoyt: Love that Kobe stayed and shot for an hour after losing. AN HOUR. When the Heat lose, they cry. When Kobe loses, he gets better. #Lakers
IraHeatBeat: Yes, Kobe Bryant, right now, more than 2 1/2 hours after the game, is shooting jumpers on the court, with media told building is closing.
IraHeatBeat: Kobe Bryant still out on the court, shooting, more than a hour after the game. Even Erik Spoelstra came out to take a look. i have a whole new respect for him right about now

Afterwards, when asked why he stayed behind shooting jumpers, he gave a very simple reply:

“I had some things to work on.”

He told another reporter by text message:

“I want what all men want. I just want it more.”
