Kobe Bryant explains his jersey chewing habit.

"It's disgusting but my father taught me when your mouth gets dry, just suck the sweat out of your own jersey"

That's gross, especially when you can have cups of water and Gatorade ready at your command.

Bonus Quote: In regards to his willingness to pass as of late, this was Kobe's response.

"I really liked shooting at the hand hoops," says Bryant. "My field goal percentage really went up. The hand hoops kind of catch my shots even if they're a little off target. The rim never does that. It's pretty neat."

That is a very Kobe Bryant way of thinking of things. Whatever works for you, man.
