Everybody who loves basketball knows who is Kobe Bryant. He is Lakers legend, Los Angeles icon, and openly imperfect person. I am not a really big fan of Kobe but I respect that his spirit in the game. He gave us a lot of amazing moves that let us remember him. He may not Michael Jordan, Lebron James. Those guys are born for basketball. Bobe’s body is not the strongest, but he always working hard on it. The mamba spirit it’s exactly what we need to learn. Never give up is Kobe’s own defense ion of this sport. Mamba's spirit is to never retreat, never give up, never escape, bear the humiliation, and create miracles in difficulties. Life is like basketball, we will meet some trouble in our life. It can be a lot of aspects. We need to try to solve it not walk away from it. Never give up that’s what I learn from  Kobe Bryant. In his career, he has 1 MVP, 2 FMVP, 2 scoring titles, 5 championship rings, 11 NBA All-NBA First Team, 18 All-Stars, and 2 Olympic Gold Medals.  Kobe is one of the greatest stars in the history of basketball, but he also said that real greatness is not to be the strongest player but to inspire others and the next generation. We need to remember what he told us when I have trouble. Never give up. May heaven be free of injuries and tears of the Achilles tendon. May basketball and the five championships accompany forever. Mamba out. Rest In Peace.
