    Just that we have people like Kobe that set the precedent of Mamba Mentality and never taking a second of the day off to the point where he’s getting 4 hours of sleep

    Not saying he didn’t work hard, but folks gotta also realize a lot of that is marketing and hype and narratives built around people. We didn’t hear about “mamba mentality” when kobe was trying to rap and shit.

      When ever someone boast about being sleep deprived because he works too hard he’s bullshiting, especially for athletes. How you gonna train hard if you don’t give your body proper rest to recover.

        There’s a correlation between lack of sleep and cancer. I’ve always found it odd people boast about no sleep and able to work.

        Sure you can get tons of shit done but when is over get ready for the diseases that will ravage your body when you retire.

        Yep, Shohei ohtani says he sleeps like 9 hours a day and take naps during the afternoon to keep his performance at a high standard. And he’s probably the greatest two way baseball player ever at this point with no exaggeration.
