Local fans found out why Kobe Bryant is a winner when he visited Hong Kong this week.
The Los Angeles Lakers superstar was in a no-nonsense mood when he arrived at the Hong Kong Polytechnic University gymnasium on Wednesday.
Within five minutes, he was teaching Nike league juniors the methods that have made him an NBA record-breaker.
Bryant supervised a gruelling, 30-minute training session for outstanding young player Chan Yik-lun.
In front of about 400 fans, the teenager was given what Bryant called 'a mini-version of my daily workout'.
Yik-lun, the Nike Youth Basketball League's Most Valuable Player this summer, barely managed to keep up with the instructions.
He was sweating profusely following the drills, which included shooting, dribbling, post-play and shuttle runs. At one point, Bryant provided passes for Yik-lun to take 100 consecutive shots.
