Kobe wasn’t just a player; he was a legend in the history of basketball, making him one of the most

loved yet criticized a player of all time. His death didn’t only take a player but also a soul full of talent
who could have given rise to the many other legends. Hence he was a legacy that was sent off. His blunt
and bold attitude was in the ground and off the ground. He wasn’t afraid to say what he believed and
was cruel to his teammates to take out the performance from these players. His nickname, black
mamba, was a depiction of what he believed and presented that he wasn’t afraid to be ruthless to his
opponent. His life in the ground was the lesson for the players who want to achieve the heights of
success and want to become the legend. To become the legends, they have to become merciless to their
opponents and have to take bold steps. He was full of an embodiment of being the leader in the
basketball field who taught the fellow and young players to take responsibility for the actions they were
doing. He taught them that there is a certain time when even the great players should back out from
their roles that would leave their place in the history of the game field.

I completely agree with your statement that his work ethics were second to none, as he was a player
who presented an attitude of attacking the opponent rather than just defending the position. All the
great games can be seen when the players have an aggressive attacking mind rather than playing safe.
Hence Kobe taught his fellow players not to be afraid of being aggressive with their game.
