“I think you can ask anybody in this room. Job’s not finished,” Aaron Judge said.

Not many people might know this, but the late NBA icon Kobe Bryant also made a similar statement in the 2009 NBA Finals. Back in 2009, Kobe played for the Lakers. The Lakers were 2-0 up in the Finals against the Orlando Magic.

But still, Kobe was not happy as the Lakers were yet to clinch the title. When someone from the media asked Kobe if he is not glad after being 2-0 up in the finals, the NBA legend had the perfect reply.

“What is there to be happy about? Job’s not finished. Job is finished? I do not think so,” Kobe said.
