A full-on basketball workout followed by lifting weights sounds more than enough for me. But doing it twice in one day is absolutely bonkers. Nobody ever quite did it like Kobe Bryant. That’s why he was and is recognized as an icon in the NBA world.
It’s always hilarious to watch the player’s reactions when they tell their story. These guys are professional athletes too. And they can barely fathom the work Kobe Bryant put in to be the best on the court. Mamba Mentality is a real thing, but Kobe had a unique way of taking it to the next level.
With more and more players from that era retiring, we’re sure to continue hearing about everyone’s Kobe story. We’re all ears for every single one.
