Note: I ***** hated Larry Bird. I'm a Sixers fan and I watched that man cut out my heart multiple times per year for a dozen years. Like Jordan, I was glad when he retired, but I can't deny greatness when I see it and Burrow has many of the same traits.
I feel ya on Jordan and Bird. They always invented motivation. Which kinda reminds me of how Chase was still bringing up the drop criticism before the Super Bowl.
With Kobe and Rice, I was specifically referring to going to work immediately after a championship game. Kobe famously was in the gym immediately after losing to the Celtics in the Finals. Jerry Rice would be on the field working immediately after *winning* the Super Bowl.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
