Kobe Bryant Tribute (#MambaOut)

For someone who has watched NASCAR and Football and only played Basketball for a handful of years of his life, I understood the impact he had on not just sports and his Lakers, his impact he had on everything in the world. He lived the Mamba Mentality. To him, the Mamba mentality meant staring down defenders who were cocky. That meant balling out on the way to a championship for his Lakers. The way he lived, we can carry onto our lives as well. Granted, we won't have a man in a different color penny trying to get us to flinch, but we can live by the Mamba mentality and improve our character in profound ways as well. Instead of trying to 'skate by' with a C in a tough class, maybe get the balls to ask that one teacher for help or getting the courage to go up and talk to that cute girl and ask her onto a date, or trying to become the best in your field. His mentality is in all of us. Godspeed Kobe and Gigi Bryant.
