Kobe Bryant took over the US basketball team, something that deserved a rewind
Kobe Bryant.
Michael Jordan may be the greatest player of all time. But even he doesn’t have the inspirational power that Black Mamba has. In fact, he’s not even close.
A big reason behind all that clout is the fact that he gave everything he did, at least 500% effort in everything he did, even if it was something most people wouldn’t take seriously.
One such moment was when the man appeared for Team USA in the gold medal game against Argentina at the 2008 Olympics.
And well, it’s something we still can’t stop raving about.
Let’s get into it, okay?

You know, we could beat around the bush a bit more… but where’s the fun in that?

Rest in peace, Kobe Bryant.
Looking back, it’s crazy to think that a team that had Dwyane Wade, LeBron James and so many other great players still needed the Black Mamba to take over. But hey, the time has come, the man has come, right?
From the bottom of our hearts, we truly miss you every day. And we couldn’t be more certain that the entire basketball community is with us on that.
