Kobe Bryant The Best of this Generation

I chose to show Highlights Kobe Bryant, because to me, besides the great Michael Jordan, no one has shown more passion, more drive, and more motivation, then the Black Mamba Kobe Bryant. Bryant is the 5th leading scorer in NBA history, and he is not even 35. How is that possible? He works as hard as anyone in the game, and his motivation is like none I have ever seen. I also chose him because he is one of my favorite athletes of all time. there was a story about Kobe Bryant I read about in a basketball blog that was told by an assistant coach of the 2012 US Olympic Team, that included Kobe Bryant. He said one night around 3AM, Kobe wanted to get some work done in the gym, and if he can help him, so he helps him for about an hour, and the coach says he is real tired and needs sleep, so he goes off to bed. he wakes up at 8, and he goes to have breakfast with the team and still in the gym shooting jumpshots was Kobe Bryant. He was amazed on how someone works that hard to perfect something. It just goes to show what kind of a man Kobe Bryant is, and you can see the results in the video.
     His drive to be the greatest has to be one of the best qualities he has. When he first cam into the league, he was just known as a high flying dunker, so what did he do? He worked on his mid game jumoshot and tore it up. then his doubters said he couldnt shoot a 3 pointer so what did he do? develop the 3 pointer and has the record for most 3 pointers in a game with 12. then they told Kobe he has no post game. (you see where I'm going with this?) guess what he did? he went to Akeem Olajuwan, one of the best post players the game has seen, and Bryant learned moves and footwork from him. he later developed an aweseome post game and he became one of the greatest all around scorers in the history of the NBA. he also has 5 championships, so you know he is a winner. when it comes to passion, the Black Mamba brings it like no other.
