1) Kobe noted in interviews that martial arts legend and movie star Bruce Lee was a major influence on the âMamba Mentalityâ
How much? In the 2000s, Kobe started practicing Jeet Kune Do â Bruce Leeâs hybrid martial art that combines the best of multiple martial arts disciplines

2) While Jeet Kune Do doesnât have a direct connection to basketball, Kobe saw it differently:
âTo me it has everything to do with basketball. There are a lot of similarities. By doing so, no one knows what youâre going to do next, therefore, they donât know how to fight back.â

Kobe touched so many lives. On the second anniversary of his passing, weâre looking back at moments between his friends, peers, teammates and mentees. #MambaForever đ
âIâve seen him win gold medals and championship rings. But Iâve still never seen him look as happy, in those big moments on the court, as he looked the other day off of it: with an arm around Gigi, sitting courtside, and justâŠ.. talking.â âDerek Jeter theplayerstribune.com/articles/derekâŠ
âYouâre probably the only dude in the history of the game where the mystique wasnât exaggerated. The Mamba was no myth, man. It didnât even do you justice. One, two, three in the morning, we knew where you were.â â@alleniverson theplayerstribune.com/articles/allenâŠ

Kobe Bryant: Three decades of cold blooded, venomous, trash talk and going straight for the jugular.
A thread.
A thread.
Welcome to the third and final entry in my 'Trash Talk' series. Three years ago I commenced these threaded tales with a deep dive into Michael Jordan's verbal eviscerations, so it's only fitting and poetic that I end the trilogy with Kobe.
Throughout his career, Kobe was never one to shy away from a verbal stoush or letting some expletives fly in the direction of an opponent or his teammates. Kobe is an interesting case study, as he came into the league when talking shit was still somewhat tolerated and allowed.
