Recently, former NBA player Jermaine O'Neal talked about people's misunderstanding that Kobe is not a good teammate on the show "Dan Patrick Show".

Kobe and O'Neal Jr. were both rookies selected in 1996. O'Neal Jr. said: "Early in Kobe's career, you'll hear a lot about him 'not a good teammate'. Many people in his own team actually don't understand him. I think this is related to his personality to some extent. He is always learning, preparing, and even to the point where others misunderstand him because his teammates don't have much chance to get along with him."

Then O'Neal Jr. added: "We have always had a habit in the team, that is, everyone is always together. If you can't see your teammates, you subconsciously think: 'Don't he want to be with us?' or have other ideas. But in fact, he is always learning and preparing."
