Kobe Bryant continues to be a source of inspiration for fans after his death with his 'Mamba mentality,' a mantra for the competitive spirit, including non-athletes. As the NBA icon said best: 'Hard work outweighs talent — every time.'
“The last time I was intimidated was when I was 6 years old in karate class. I was an orange belt and the instructor ordered me to fight a black belt who was a couple years older and a lot bigger. I was scared s—less.
I mean, I was terrified and he kicked my ass. But then I realized he didn’t kick my ass as bad as I thought he was going to and that there was nothing really to be afraid of. That was around the time I realized that intimidation didn’t really exist if you’re in the right frame of mind.”
