Victor Wembanyama’s agent met with Rob Pelinka last summer to learn how Kobe Bryant mentally prepared himself, per @ramonashelburne. “One summer Bryant had become obsessed with studying how great white sharks hunt and attack their prey. So it became Pelinka's job to find him the best place in the world to do that -- which is apparently Guadalupe, an island 150 miles off the coast of Baja, Mexico, where you can go cage diving in the crystal-clear waters. Bryant would later write in The Players' Tribune in 2017 that his study of great whites helped him defend Allen Iverson.”
