Kobe Bryant is the greatest competitor of his generation, even though his body won't allow him to perform at nearly as high of a level anymore. His work ethic and dedication to success are truly second to none, even to this day.

Throughout Bryant's final year in the NBA, he has seemed relatively calm despite the fact that the Lakers are having their worst season in franchise history. Perhaps it's because he's still getting his winning fix in practice.

In the postgame press conference following a defeat at the hands of the Oklahoma City Thunder last night, Serena Winters of Lakers Nation asked Bryant which teammates are able to beat him in 1-on-1 in practice.

Bryant's reaction was candid and spot on, as he made a befuddled, even repulsed face before answering the question he obviously found to be silly.

This response is so Kobe Bryant.

Eventually, he did concede that there's one player out there who could possibly take him down 1-on-1.

“If there’s going to be a player that beat me, he retired on that last shot in Utah in ’98,” said Bryant.
