Kobe Bryant has a nickname called "Black Mamba", which is the most poisonous snake on the African grasslands. This snake crawls fast, is extremely poisonous, and is highly aggressive. It is one of the most feared venomous snakes in the world. Kobe's spirit is also called the "Mamba Spirit." "Never give up" is Kobe's own definition of this spirit.
In order to pay tribute to the legendary veteran of the league, the Atlanta Hawks teamed up with the Atlanta Zoo to name the black mamba snake "Kobe". The black mamba, a member of the cobra family, is the longest and most fearsome venomous snake in Africa and the deadliest snake in the world. Because Kobe always delivered a fatal blow to his opponents on the court, he earned the nickname "Black Mamba." In addition to naming, the eagle will also donate to the zoo to show its respect for Kobe.
