Alabama football players are the recipients of many lessons. They are taught to be the best players they can become. They are taught a level of commitment and discipline that translates to any of life’s endeavors. From that framework, they are also taught how to achieve greatness, individually and collectively.
Lessons about greatness are always best given by someone who has achieved greatness. Indisputably one of the greatest NBA players ever spoke to the Alabama football team before the Thursday night practice. When Kobe Bryant spoke you can bet he had the full attention of every player in the room.
