By now, there would have been already countless tributes about Kobe Bryant. How great he was. How loving of a father he was. How he was an icon. They are all true. But for this tribute and introduction, a Kobe Bryant quiz about a man who was once my hero, I just simply want to describe him as the best. For this tribute, I just want to call him as someone who just wanted to be the best version himself. He was not only a great basketball player, but he was also able to do something far greater for us. And that was to be a hero and a teacher for all of us.
Kobe inspired a generation. Kobe taught us that the Mamba Mentality was more than just an inspiration tag-line; it was a lifestyle. After his retirement, he conquered more and more heights. He made a film, wrote a book, taught basketball, coached, and became the best father he could be. As I write this, I can’t help but tear up remembering what the Black Mamba meant to the whole world. He was more than just a basketball player. He was us. He was every single one of us. Kobe is in every single one of us.
Kobe, you will never be forgotten. You will live on with our hopes and dreams, the very generation you inspired. We love you. Mamba Forever. Mamba for life. Below, you can start the quiz.
