Kobe has inspired a generation with his dedication and hard work. He has pushed Mamba mentality as much as possible to instil discipline and a strong work ethic in people. Kobe Bryant is possibly the hardest working player in the history of the NBA.
His death was tragic and affected several young players in the NBA who admired him greatly. Devin Booker, Trae Young, Jayson Tatum, Giannis Antetokounmpo and several others practised with him to improve their skills.
Kobe Bryant challenged and pushed Giannis Antetokounmpo to win an NBA Championship after several MVP awards and the Milwaukee Forward did not disappoint. Mamba Mentality runs through all the young players in the NBA and Kobe Bryant will live through them forever.
