Scott: Tatum seems to die when his Achilles tendon breaks, but Kobe will never do this

June 11, June 11, former Lakers player and head coach Byron Scott talked about Kobe on his show.

He said: Speaking of Kobe's "hardest" moment, Scott said: "He tore the Achilles tendon, made a free throw, and walked out. Let me tell you why it was a total tough show. You see him stand up because he thought someone had kicked him, right? Like all the people with a torn Achilles tendon, they felt like someone had kicked them or something. He stood up and walked to the free throw line. Before he went to the free throw line, he had to go out and he walked back. You look at his expression. There was no painful expression, nothing. You can see disappointment. He seemed to be angry. There was only disappointment in his eyes."

"And I thought of one of my favorite players in the NBA, Jason Tatum: He took a step to get it Ball, bang! He almost fell to the ground like he was going to die. I mean, he rolled around, you could see the pain, he was in a wheelchair. I was thinking, first of all, Kobe would never be pushed out of the wheelchair."

Guest: "Paul Pierce."

Scott: "I don't want to name it, but Kobe would never be pushed out of the wheelchair, right? It's the toughest thing I've ever seen on the basketball court, he walked up, made two free throws, and walked out. Not letting someone help him. Of course, you have a torn Achilles tendon and you can't walk normally, but he walked out. You'll never see anyone doing this in this league. You won't see it again."
