Kobe Bryant aka the Black Mamba is one of the most Legendary players who ever play the game basketball. He’s also a very inspirational and a very influential person. One of the most memorable moments that he showed in this world and in the world of basketball, is when he scored 81 points in a single game and win the Nba Championship 3 times in a row. Making him the second most points in NBA history and one of the greatest player to play the game in such a young age. He got the Nickname “Black Mamba” because he is so competitive and fearless that he always studies his opponents and see how he can defeat them, like the snake named black mamba.
Kobe made a lot of history in the game of basketball. Me as a basketball player, I am always wondering in how to be more consistent, be more better in the game of basketball and be a better person also. Back when I watched Kobe in a NBA game, when I was 8 years of age. I was so amazed on how he plays the game of basketball, he got the consistency in terms of scoring, he got the mentality of never giving up and heart of being a champion. He had a quote that says”Never rest in the middle, Rest in the End.” this basically narrates that no matter how hard can life be just keep pushing yourself forward till you feel that everything you did was all worth it. Kobe got his mentality when he was 6 years old, at a very young age he plays with some grade 6 students whom are aged 12, so statistically stating his playing against players whom are double his age.He studies his opponent weaknesses to give him a better chances of defeating them, He shared this story to many of his Fans and shared also some inspirational statements that is saying “Push your self even though your body said NO, but your heart said yes. “This quote really touch me. It woke me up and push my self to my greatest version right in that moment, Me as a very lazy guy, stubborn,hopeless and sometimes irresponsible. I always make bad decisions in life but he’s statement changed my perspectives, He showed me chances in life even though your in the pit of hopelessness and hatred. He thought a lot of person including me to how to face fears the proper way which is having heart and perseverance, One of example his Heart and perseverance is when he lost to a game against the Sixers who got Allen Iverson who is also one of the best who ever play the game of basketball back is the mid 2000’s, Kobe was so devastated he right awaywent to workout and improve more of himself a day after the game, He worked every day in the off season, He trained, study and improve more in the game of basketball that after the next season he won the Nba Championship. I learned a lot from his story, that I try to emulate the same thing that he do, to face challenges in life and sports. As I try to learn the mentality that he had, I’ve learned also that vision is always important in our personal goal, without a vision of our goal. We are just drifting around and making a fool of our self. Visioning your goal every day, makes you motivated and hungry for more. This mentality help me become more discipline in myself and how to manage time the right way.
The life of Kobe is one of the most greatest true to life story that I have ever studied. Kobe shares the mentality of being a true champion and true warrior in life, He gave me joy,knowledge and hope in life that no one can ever steal from me and to others also who he inspired also.
