Bryant was one of the toughest competitors in all of the sports. His love and passion for the game made him want to be one of the best. He certainly succeeded in doing so because he had one of the best basketball careers of all-time. The five-time NBA champ displayed what a true leader should look like. On the court, Bryant wanted to win at all cost. Even if he wasn’t 100 percent on that court, he found a way to put his team in the best position to win games. Toward the end of his career, his body started to take a toll on him, but he continued to go out and perform at a high-level.
One area that Bryant excelled at was being a mentor to many players. Many current NBA players looked up to Bryant and loved how he carried himself on the court. Bryant always was willing to share his knowledge of the game with other players because he wanted to see them perform at their best. During the off-seasons, he would work with players like Kawhi Leonard, Paul George, and Kyrie Irving. Even though he wasn’t playing anymore, Bryant continued to impact people.
During his career, Bryant took his game to another level. He struggled early on in his career, and he used that to push him to become a great player.

He wanted to be the best, and no one would get in his way to stop him.
