Recently, former NBA players Chalmos and Shampoo talked about Kobe on the All In channel.
Chalmos said: "One thing I always admire Kobe is how humble he is. Just like you look at Kobe, you don't think he is so humble. You think he's going to be arrogant. You think he doesn't say those (humble) words. Yes. That guy is so humble, brother. Kobe rests in peace. He's super humble. I found this when I tore my Achilles tendon. He was one of the people who contacted me at the time and gave me words of encouragement, like 'Continue fighting, it's better than before.' I was never your teammate. I've never had a meal with you. I just greeted you in the game. But he contacted me on his own initiative, which means a lot to me. So I always had the highest respect for coach (Kobe). "
