"The shadow is a moral problem that challenges the whole ego-personality, for no one can become conscious of the shadow without considerable moral effort. To become conscious of it involves recognizing the dark aspects of the personality as present and real. This act is the essential condition for any kind of self-knowledge." - C. G. Jung

[@livead4091]

;-;

[@christianabandabella235]

Indeed. During the fight, Kobe stops having his own shadow about the same time that he appears to be a bit full of himself. The shadow is some kind of precursor for the fall that may ensue if that dark impulse is not kept in check. And the shadow is not interested in playing fair either, as it teleports itself throughout the court as it sees fit. And then at the end, the hint is that more light and success brings also more potential for dark impulses, and more work on ourselves to overcome those dark parts of our minds. In particular, his previous trick would no longer work against all four shadows because of the added exposure to light: it is a never ending fight.

[@themandalorian7352]

@@christianabandabella235 you sound more correct than the op. The shadow here isn't negative. It keeps him in check with his real "shadow" inside his head (which made him think I'm good enough I'm the best already no need to practice more). The thing here could be intepreted as he is aware of the "shadow in his head". That explains why the shadow comes alive (awareness). And then he won over it and control it to make it challenge him to become even better. The living shadow is like a product of his willpower after recognizing his inner shadow and making use of it.

[@thebananas6483]

I also disagree. This could be a couple things depending on what you think the shadow is. 1) It's Jordan. Kobe did say right when he got into the league that he wanted to be the greatest of all time. This could be a metaphor for how Kobe's insane amount of time practicing in the gym was him trying to get out of Jordan's shadow. 2. It's his own shadow. This could be a metaphor for him battling his personal demons on the court. When talking about how the "Black Mamba" came to be, he mentioned how at the time, he felt like he couldn't control anything else in his life; so much was going wrong. But basketball, how he plays, that he can control. 3. It's his own shadow, but it's something more simple. It's just Kobe trying to get past himself, be better than he was yesterday. So many people have stories about coming into the gym to start team practice, and Kobe's already there, before anyone else, working at his game.

[@tuckerhinkle4592]

@ Mr. Bananas I’m not going to disagree with you, becouse those are 3 very good reasons. I’m just saying what I know from Kobe’s biography. But is it possible for it to be all 4 of our reasons? Becouse we all have pretty good reasons here.

What i got from this was to challenge yourself to be a better basketball player & there's always room for improvement even if it may seem as perfection. If you don't, you will fail. And he sees that when his shadow blocks his shot, so he picks himself up & keep pushing, & trying. At first you don't succeed, pick yourself up & try again

[@GsrItalia]

First of all: congrats. Concept, storyboard, character design. Brilliant. But for what i know about Mr Black Mamba... There's a little thing that don't feel right to me. If the opponent would be a person, I think that Kobe took every detail, skill, weakness for challenge him to the max. But against his shadow... take advantage of that limit made the character score, but in my mind, Kobe could think that seem a bit of cutting corners. Anyway: the character won't give up until the score. So... dedication. That's 200% KB.

[@GsrItalia]

@@nickrameau938 I hope to say something of understandable, i don't speak english as mother language. When you challenge another human opponent, when the kind of challenge is NBA, you *have* to gain vantage from any weakness of your opponent. You cannot leave anything back, you'll be considered not honoring the challenge. But into this clip KB whas challenging himself. So taking advantages of a limit of your opponent is just like cutting corners. At least, in my opinion... Hope it make sense now for you...

[@CreatureOfGoddess]

I haven't watched the NBA since the mid 90's and honestly was over the hype of professional athletes as a whole until MMA gained traction. I never really watched him play, however I did get to witness what a genuine and passionate being he was. The love he had for the game, his team, his fans, and his family was always shining from his eyes and smile. I sobbed like a baby when we heard the news. I'm welling up again typing this. For him to have such an impact on someone who prides themselves on disdaining celebrity worship says it all

This accident has brought people together and unite as one to honor the passing of the one of the most iconic basketball player in the NBA. Seeing this really represent to never feel fear, something Kobe bryant was a strong advocate for. So i want to say...
