Bryant's Work Ethic Inspires, Housing Crisis Shifts, Rogen Roasts

NBA champion Metta World Peace revealed a lesson learned from the late Kobe Bryant: no matter how hard you work, someone else might be working harder. World Peace shared this insight at the Web Summit Qatar, recalling a time he tried to outwork Bryant, only to find the basketball legend had already finished his grueling gym session.

World Peace, formerly known as Ron Artest, recounted his experience in an interview with Fortune. He decided to arrive at the gym at 8 a.m., believing it was an early start. However, according to World Peace, Bryant was already showered and done with his workout. This experience underscored Bryant's dedication and work ethic, a key factor in his legendary career.

In other news, the Directors Guild Awards (DGA) saw Seth Rogen pay tribute to Catherine O'Hara, hailing his "Studio" co-star as an "utter genius" and "nicest person," according to Variety. The Apple TV freshman series, which satirizes Hollywood, won a Directors Guild award for comedy series. Kumail Nanjiani opened the awards ceremony with jokes about the Epstein files, long movies, and D.W. Griffith, also reported by Variety. DGA president Christopher Nolan noted a sharp drop in Hollywood employment and urged studios to "repay the investment" that fans put into movies and TV.

Meanwhile, a recent study suggests that the housing affordability crisis may not be as simple as a lack of supply. Researchers, including UC Irvine PhD student Schuyler Louie and San Francisco Fed researchers John Mondragon, Rami Najjar, and Johannes Wieland, found a strong correlation between average income growth and house price growth, according to Fortune. The study also indicated that housing supply growth has a strong positive relationship with population growth. Even in expensive markets like Los Angeles and San Francisco, housing units grew faster than their population.

Finally, for many U.S. Olympic athletes, Italy feels like home turf, according to NPR News. American athlete Jessie Diggins, the world's top-ranked female cross-country skier, recently competed in Italy's Val di Fiemme.
