It’s been a hard couple of days. Kobe Bryant was supposed to be untouchable, a living breathing legend whose singular impact was felt most as a global ambassador to the sport. The world is mourning his loss. We lost someone who was supposed to become an elder statesman.
Kobe crafted the “Mamba Mentality,” which was a mindset about challenging yourself to get better in everything you do. It’s about sizing yourself up against the best and brightest, learning what it takes to get better, and putting in the work to see those results. The mentality isn’t playing hero ball and chucking shots, it’s discipline, hard work and perseverance.
