DeMar said, “I plan on having a lot of guys (Bulls teammates) come to LA for sure. Work with me, put ’em through a lot of the hell I put myself through in the offseason.”

When asked about his inspiration, he said, “I got it from Kobe. Early in my career, without a doubt, I got it all from Kobe. So some of that, I’m definitely going to share with most of my teammates without a doubt.”

He further revealed how he was making Patrick Williams his protégé during the workouts. The youngster averaged 9.0 points, 4.1 rebounds, and 0.9 assists this season. Safe to say, Kobe Bryant and his workout routine will work wonders for the 20-year-old.
