There are so many NBA stars that many passers-by cannot name them, but Kobe is a name that many passers-by are familiar with. The reason why Kobe has such great influence is inseparable from his personal charm, hard work and basketball spirit. At the same time, in the Kobe era, because Yao Ming joined the NBA and the repeated duels between the Rockets and the Lakers also caused Kobe's influence to spread rapidly in the country. Los Angeles is particularly beautiful at four in the morning

When Kobe was being interviewed, the reporter asked him why he could achieve his current results. Kobe replied: Have you ever seen Los Angeles at four in the morning? ?Los Angeles at four in the morning represents a spirit of hard work and unwillingness to admit defeat.

Kobe's initial draft performance was actually not ideal. He was selected with the 13th overall pick in 1996. Moreover, after Kobe entered the NBA, he also started from the bench. Compared with stars such as Tracy McGrady, Iverson, and Carter at the time, Kobe's physical talent was not high.

But he did not give up, but used his continuous and hard training to win the main position in the team. The Lake of Fire game expanded Kobe's influence

The reason why Kobe's influence in the country is so great is inseparable from Yao Ming.

After Yao Ming joined the NBA Rockets, he played against Kobe Bryant's Lakers many times. And it was the Lake of Fire game that brought Kobe to the attention of more and more Chinese fans and even passers-by.

I remember when I was in high school, I had dinner in the school cafeteria at noon, and there was a game between the Rockets and the Lakers. There were always many people gathered in front of the TV in the cafeteria to watch the game. Later, when I went to college, my roommates would always turn on the TV to catch up on the Rockets and Lakers games. It can be said that because of the Rockets and Yao Ming, Kobe and China have a deep relationship. Strict self-requirements affect teammates who fight side by side

Kobe is famous for his strict training. He can still keep training when others are on vacation. He knows that if he doesn't train hard, it may be difficult to maintain his current position.

At the same time, Kobe's strictness also deeply affected his teammates. Kobe's old teammates like Odom and Bynum were so brilliant when they were with the Lakers, and Kobe's influence is also there. After leaving the Lakers, the two gradually degenerated, and their lives naturally became more indulgent without the supervision of their teammates. The Mamba Mentality will always remain in the NBA

Sportsmanship is indispensable in competitive sports, and the huge wealth that Kobe left behind is his "Mamba Mentality".

Kobe once summarized his Mamba spirit: passion, persistence, severity, fightback and fearlessness! This spirit is also the realm that every athlete in the sports arena pursues. I believe that more and more basketball fans will inherit Kobe’s “Mamba Spirit” and make this sport immortal!
