Seto described Bryant’s ability to play through pain and focus, and she used Bryant’s Achilles injury as an example. Bryant crumpled to the floor, picked himself up and finished shooting two free throws.
Anyone who has ever gone to the hospital for an injury, knows that they asked your pain level based on a scale of 1-10. That chart does not apply to Bryant, Seto describes.
"But he just focused on this. I think that’s what makes him who he is. I mean, he can take that and just block everything else out, including pain. Like I said, he’s not a reckless person. He wasn’t going to cause more damage by going out there and shooting his free throws. It was fine for him to do that. It’s just amazing.
“It’s kind of like useless. I mean, I’ll have to ask him, ‘Does it hurt?’ I have an obligation to ask. But I don’t think I’ve asked on a scale of zero to ten how much it hurts because it doesn’t matter for him.”
