Kobe Bryant's Insane Work Ethic

Kobe Bryant has been one of the most recognizable and top-scoring players in the NBA for 17 years. Even after a devastating Achilles tendon tear in March, he has shattered the timetable for his recovery and is expected back for the upcoming basketball season.
The reason that Bryant has managed to stay on top over the years is his insane work ethic. Watch to see why the "Black Mamba" is one of the best to play the game.

@Bengalsfu , do you not know how the internet works?? It's called trending.

[@imbored8154]

Facts, I thought this was made today.

[@um52]

You have to be a bit crazy to be a champion/great player. The huge resemblance between Jordan and Kobe is not necessarily about the number of rings, awards, stats etc, instead it's their discipline, competitiveness to be the best at what they do, and killer instinct to win. They demanded perfection from their teammates as well. I think all those factors are what separate the 2 from every NBA player they competed with. That's why these 2 players are championship winners.

RIP Legend

[@sportkriminalist]

The only reason Kobe didn't have more or at least a similar amount of ring with Jordan is 1, Jordan had a better understanding when it comes to teamwork whereas Kobe only learnt that in the later stages of his carreer and 2 when Kobe had learnt about teamwork, his teammates are all Shaqtin' Hofers until Pau...

[@kelechic.jemelumba9981]

Whats the point of all this practice if he has such a poor shooting percentage. I agree that his inability to share the ball was an issue for him.

[@sportkriminalist]

+Christian 0000 He had a poor shooting percentage because he is a shooting guard that plays for 20 years. The percentage doesn't matter actually if it wins you games. But I was talking more of his development as a team player over the years.

[@kelechic.jemelumba9981]

Aragorn so was ray Allen, and even per season

[@colefifield2884]

Fun fact is that after his rookie season he went to Michael Jackson house and asked MJ how he is so great at what he does to in order to be great and Michael then showed him his crazy work ethic and how he learned from the greats and said if you apply that to your game you will become great..... crazy to think that MJ motivated and inspired basketball players and football players just as much as he did other artists of our generation.

[@richard32rose]

There are many reasons why Kobe is the best, but here's one: Even after retirement, he's still waking up at 4-5AM and getting his workouts in...you can bring up stats, rings, etc. Kobe had true love and passion for the game and for all out rise and grind hard work. Even when he was winning rings in June, he was back in the gym 2 weeks later putting in work like he had just lost the finals. Work ethic. period.

[@Vihloah]

just watching videos like this about kobe’s drive makes me feel like a disappointment. i’m not working hard enough. i’m letting him and myself down.

Only player truly comparable to Jordan based on style of play, ability, talent, work ethic, winning mentality, clutch factor, hardware and iconic status. He's the closest period.
