“Friends can come and go, but banners hang forever.” Kobe wasn’t like most players. He didn’t care about making friends, didn’t party, and didn’t waste time — he kept training, kept pushing, kept chasing wins. He could be mean, even bully teammates, and was feared by many who shared the court with him. But that relentless drive, that obsession with greatness, is exactly what made him special. At the end of the day, Kobe was loved because he was different — and because he never let anything come before winning. #NBA #KobeBryant #MambaMentality #Lakers #MyNBAGOAT #LakersNation #NBAChampion #Sports
