科比用一篇博文回应了前队友斯马什-帕克对自己的指责,他认为,做一个友善的队友不是他的目标,他的人生追求就是胜利——
领袖意味着责任。
你必须做出选择:你希望竭尽全力去激发你身边人、提升团队实力吗?如果答案是:YES,那么请问:你真的愿意这么做么——哪怕这意味着被人当做是讨厌鬼?这是一个领袖的真正职责。有时候你必须把团队的成功置于你个人形象之前。激发队友可不是把球传出去、或让队友觉得舒服那么简单。而是你必须唤醒他们心中的猛虎——在他们稍有懈怠的时候。
当一个胜利者还是一个好队友?我选择前者。我希望队友们永远都肩并肩手挽手,但这不现实。我和那些懒惰的、因为自己无法成功就指责别人的人没有共同语言。成就来自努力和坚持。没有借口。
这就是我选择的路。可能不适合你,但我能做的就是把我的想法说出来。你可以去选择适合你的领导方式。
回见。

英文原文——
Leadership is responsibility。
There comes a point when one must make a decision. Are YOU willing to do what it takes to push the right buttons to elevate those around you? If the answer is YES, are you willing to push the right buttons even if it means being perceived as the villain? Here's where the true responsibility of being a leader lies. Sometimes you must prioritize the success of the team ahead of how your own image is perceived. The ability to elevate those around you is more than simply sharing the ball or making teammates feel a certain level of comfort. It's pushing them to find their inner beast, even if they end up resenting you for it at the time。
I'd rather be perceived as a winner than a good teammate. I wish they both went hand in hand all the time but that's just not reality. I have nothing in common with lazy people who blame others for their lack of success. Great things come from hard work and perseverance. No excuses。
This is my way. It might not be right for YOU but all I can do is share my thoughts. It’s on YOU to figure out which leadership style suits you best。
Will check back in with you soon.. Till then
