In a way I think this particular example actually hurts his argument. 6 hours of physical training a day is pretty damn high for an athlete. In college (soccer team) we had two-a-days 2 sessions of training (2-3 hours each) for about 2 weeks before the season started and that was an absolute killer, by the end your body would be ripped to shreds, and we'd have one week of a much lighter load and ball work to recover. Doing this six days a week for six months is almost the classic definition of overtraining, and shows the freakish nature of Kobe's physical ability.

Totally agree with his overall point though.
