According to Kevin Hart, the coach called out everyone except for Bryant because they were slacking off.

Kevin Hart further added that not only did Bryant shoot with his left hand, he also dribbled and passed with it. Hart considered the opportunity at the camp to be the biggest in his life, which had become a 'practice pad' for Kobe. Hart revealed that while he was doing his best to defend Bryant, the Lakers legend was merely counting the dribbles in his head. He further added that the camp and Bryant's skills completely shattered his NBA dreams.
