A Legacy of Incoherence

One of the things that struck me in this article was how much a person can impact the world. Kobe Bryant was one of the best basketball players of all time and the article talks about all the different aspects of his career. “Here were Mamba Shoes, the Mamba Foundation, a partnership with Nike to launch the Mamba League. And then, of course, there was the Mamba Sports Academy, which featured the Mamba team that Bryant coached with Christine Mauser.”Giving back is a very important part in the world today ands Kobe Bryant did just that. He made sure everyone was involved is someway. Although most people think of Kobe Bryant as a generational basketball talent, he is much more than that. He knew that success was important, but legacy was even more important.

  1. I agree that although Kobe was involved in a messy case involving rape, he has done so much for the community and will always be remembered for not only his work on the court, but off it as well.

  2. I agree with you completely. Everybody makes mistakes but it is how we react to those errors that shape who we are today. Kobe knew he was in the wrong for what he did so starting this whole Black Mamba mentality and giving back to the community thing helped build his character and effect on others. At the end of day Kobe will be deservedly remembered as not only an all time great in basketball but as someone who gave hope to those who have none.

  3. I think you chose a great topic to talk about. This is definitely relevant in today’s day in age and is something we should all speak about. Woman should not be discouraged to come forth with their stories.

  4. I like how you emphasize the importance of giving back to the world. I also like how he mentioned that Kobe made sure everyone is involved in some way. This is a value that I always try to achieve.
