Mamba spirit
Bryant showed us what is possible when extraordinary talent is combined with total dedication. He is one of the most outstanding players in the history of the league. He will be remembered best for inspiring people to pick up basketball and do their best. He generously shared his wisdom with the young players and made it his calling. He's the NBA's best scorer, and he's good at breakouts, shooting, free throws, and three-pointers, with few offensive blind spots. In addition to his insane scoring, Kobe Bryant's organizational skills are outstanding, often serving as the first initiator of the team's offense. In addition, Bryant is also one of the best defenders in the league, and the close defense is very oppressive.
As a member of the U.S. national team, the true significance of Kobe Bryant's greatness lies not in the redemption of the glory of the dream team, nor in how many gold medals he has, but in his role as a symbol of the times, from Jordan, he truly took over the flag of promoting basketball to the world, he is the symbol of this sport, on a world stage, interpreting the charm of basketball. Kobe's basketball career is also the period when Chinese fans pay the most attention to the NBA!
Peter Pan forever
Kobe's death is a huge loss to world basketball, countless fans have lost their idols and spiritual beliefs, and countless fans have cried and griefed for him. Kobe's basketball spirit will never give up easily, no matter how big the enemy or how difficult it is on the basketball court. If we encounter any difficulties in life, do not give up easily, we must face the difficulties, so that we can experience ourselves in difficulties again and again, and improve our abilities. The spirit of the Black Mamba inspires us forever!
