The world consists of heroes.

Some put effort in helping people, some lead the way and are followed, and some mark history by their actions. We all know that there are only a few remaining legends that still remain in their domain, while others have fallen or retired. We all know a certain legend that still runs his place in the renowned basketball league which is the NBA, the one that has persevered through the generations as one of the best there is and the best there will be. We all know the black mamba, obe Bryant. !t is undeniable that this man is sent by god to be an inspirational deity in the world of basketball. We are all aware of his un"uestioned greatness and the strength of his will to push through challenges. This man has continuously shown the reason why he is a true hall of famer by his outstanding ability to con"uer through hardships even if the odds weren#t in his favour. $is emotional control is truly admired by his fans because even though he was thrown hate from all directions all over the world, he still found his way and showed strength to push through his games unaffected even if the media and almost everybody has continuously shown him nothing but hate and dismaying words. $e still is not finished. obe has recently ac"uired an in%ury that has been bugging him for a while now. The Black &amba is still inching closer to a return from a devastating Achilles tear that has sidelined him at the tail end of the '()'*)+ campaign. The s"uad#s playoff hopes and dreams depend on the veteran guard, but so far it seems to have been staying afloat in his absence. ,espite his physical and emotional strength that has allowed him to push through his challenges on and off the court, this nuisance of his has persisted through him and has proven to slow him down due to the fact that he is especially dependent on his feet to pierce through his competitors inside the court. But knowing obe, ! believe that he will con"uer this unruly problem of his and prove once again that he truly is strong. !t is un"uestioned that obe Bryant is an inspiration. The fact that he has e-ceeded champions and even had the power to take down the best of the best is "uite spectacular. ,espite his in%ury he still pushed to the game and the people he loves, basketball and his fans. $e has marked a new generation of skills and inspiration towards the game of basketball and will without a doubt, continue to do so. We will forever remember his greatness when he finally steps down but we shall cherish it while it lasts. As of this moment, he is still recovering from the valuable time that he has lost because of his in%ury. $is recent game clearly stated the rust that he has been undergoing due to his absence on the court. But knowing him and his heart and love for the game, it can be stated that his fans have nothing to worry about. obe can never be taken down even if he should stay down. !f he never got up, he would still be a hero.
