Not only would Kobe be the first person in the gym before practices, but he would always be the last to leave the practice facility. After practices, Kobe would keep count of how many shots he makes, and would not stop until he made 400 shots. Kobe was also known to make teammates stay back late after practices so that he can use them as his personal test subjects for moves that he was trying to perfect, similar to what he did with his teammates in high school.
