From No. 8 to No. 24, from a bench player to a legendary superstar, from an unnoticed black man to a world-renowned celebrity, he is my idol: Kobe Bryant.

As early as 1996, Kobe was discovered by scouts because he played basketball very well in high school. From then on, he played for the Los Angeles Lakers and became an NBA player. But because he had just entered the NBA, and because of society's discrimination against black people, people thought that Kobe entered the NBA because of his father's relationship, and they were very unfavorable about him. Kobe's life seemed to have entered a dark chamber, and he wanted to move forward. , but with no way out, he felt extremely depressed and once wanted to give up basketball. In the end, Kobe relied on his love for basketball, worked hard, kept moving forward, walked out of the darkness in his heart, and moved forward. In the 1997 Slam Dunk Contest, Kobe showed off his skills, won first place, and became the best player of the year. The best substitute player, he became famous in one fell swoop, no longer underestimated by the world, and gradually became stronger. In 1999, the Lakers ushered in a dynasty. O'Neal and Kobe formed the "OK" combination. With Kobe's bold shots and wonderful moments, the Lakers won the 1999 NBA championship. At this time, Kobe became A household name. In the next two years, the Lakers won three consecutive championships. This young man who was underestimated by people at the time and a black man who was discriminated against by everyone, no one questioned him.

Kobe Bryant did not become a legendary star by birth. He went through many setbacks. He has given almost everything to basketball in his life. He was looked down upon by others at the beginning. In order not to let the world look down upon him, he trained for 8 hours a day. No matter how busy he was, he always found time to train, which is why he Became the youngest star at the time. Due to excessive basketball training, the meniscus in Kobe's right leg has been worn out, but he was perseverant and the meniscus was gone. He endured the pain from the friction between the fish bones and continued to play basketball without giving up his career.

In fact, what Kobe brought to people throughout his life was not only visual pleasure, but also spiritual support. His unyielding and indomitable spirit will remain in the world forever! It will remain in people’s hearts forever!

He is not only a gesture, but also a spirit and a belief! He is Kobe Bryant!
