Image via WikipediaIn any team sport, coaches look to their veterans to set an example by displaying a solid work ethic to their younger, less experienced teammates. Los Angeles Lakers rookies, Devin Ebanks and Derrick Caracter, are impressed by the work ethic from veterans, such as Kobe Bryant, Derek Fisher, and Theo Ratliff.
“Seeing Kobe in here every day early, for example, makes me want to work even harder. You know he’s put in a lot of work (already) in his career and to see him still doing that is (motivating),” said Ebanks.
Caracter was equally impressed and added, “Seeing guys like Kobe, Theo Ratliff, and Derek Fisher … (Fisher) was out here yesterday working, looking like he was 17. Just seeing how the veterans take care of their bodies, and how guys who have been in the league for 14 years still going at that pace makes you as a rookie feel like you can’t take any days off, and that you have to bring the same amount of energy if not more.”
