Kobe, I´ll miss you
Lessons from one of the greatest
At this point, I read almost every major article out there that featured him.
Like a lot of you out there, I still didn´t digest it.
A lot of this impact is due to the fact that we watched a teenager come into the NBA at 17 y/o to become one of the greatest basketball players and inspirational figures of our generation
During his basketball career, we witnessed 2 different versions of the legend:
1- Young Impatient Kobe:
A raw version of the player. He came up and wanted to straight away to be in the spotlight.
He didn´t take a long time to be a crowd favorite as his game almost mirrored Michael Jordan. The teenager was a workaholic that dedicated his life to being the best.
But he was not the only star of this team as Shaquille O´Neal was his teammate from 1996 to 1999.
The team managed to win 3 championships and the duo became one of the most unstoppable of the history.
