Therefore, the famous Lakers Kobe Bryant encouraged him in the 2016 Finals.
“He gave me some extra motivation, man, in the most Kobe way. He said, ‘Man, I think Golden State is going to win a championship this year for sure.’
“Man, can you imagine Kobe saying that? He’s like my hero. We were eating, man, and a guy said that to me. I looked at this guy and said, ‘Dude, what are you talking about?
‘
“I looked him straight in the eye and said, ‘No, they’re not going to win. What are you talking about?'” Irving said.

How about Steph, I have a lot of respect for Steph, but I’m going to blow him up,'” Owen said.
