There are always people that appear larger than life. These people are seen as a symbol and everyone, even their peers, admire them.
The late basketball legend Kobe Bryant was one of those people — he was larger than just the game.
Bryant was renowned for not just the highlight plays, accomplishments and records, but for the work he put in every day at practice. He would often stay for hours after others had gone home to perfect his skills.
Idaho Women’s Basketball Head Coach Jon Newlee always admired Bryant, preaching his commitment to the sport to the teams he’s coached.
