The “Kobe Challenge” was started by the Black Mamba himself this summer when he gave out unsolicited goals and tasks to athletes and celebrities. For example, he challenged Isaiah Thomas to make the All-NBA Team...
... and Giannis Antetokonmpo (who, in Kobe’s defense, did solicit this advice) to be the MVP of the whole League.
Some of these challenges are obtainable and some seem extremely out of reach. In this week’s episode, we issue every player on the Dallas Mavericks a Kobe Challenge that can (for the most part) be quantified or measured, beginning with the least likely Maverick.
