Bernstein to offer a view inside the mind and career of one of the greatest basketball players in NBA history. Kobe was drafted into the league from high school, and he spent his entire 20-year career with the Lakers. During that time, <strong>Kobe became a leader on his team and in the league, and he was admired for his unrelenting drive and commitment to becoming the best basketball player he could be.<\/strong> That, in essence, was the Mamba Mentality and the ideas of Kobe Bryant on discipline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Shortform note: Kobe dubbed himself the Black Mamba after facing sexual assault charges in 2003. The charges were eventually dropped, but the incident still caused backlash and hurt Kobe\u2019s reputation. In order to cope, Kobe created this nickname\u2014inspired by Quentin Tarantino&#8217;s 2003 movie <em>Kill Bill<\/em>\u2014to separate his personal life from his alter ego on the court.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There is no single definition of the Mamba Mentality. At first, Kobe just thought it was a catchy play off of his Black Mamba nickname. But, over time, it came to represent a mindset that encompasses hard work, obsessive preparedness, and dogged persistence on the journey to achieving a goal. <strong>The Mamba Mentality transcends basketball\u2014it applies to anyone who is striving to achieve greatness in her field.&nbsp;<\/strong>For Kobe Bryant, discipline is the first step. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Train to Master Basic and Advanced Skills<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Kobe was strategic about improving his skills in every aspect of the game\u2014and that started with fundamentals. Many other players neglected the fundamentals, to the extent that <strong>Kobe\u2019s focus on the basics actually gave him an edge over his competitors. <\/strong>While other players practiced dribbling tricks like crossovers, Kobe worked on making his footwork efficient. With the right footwork, Kobe could get where he needed to go on the court quickly while conserving energy. Additionally, as long as his feet were pointed in the direction he was going, Kobe could turn his head and upper body in a different direction to fool his defenders.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Part of the Kobe Bryant discipline theory is to constantly work on improving. In his endless effort to enhance his game, Kobe was never intimidated or discouraged when he noticed areas where he could improve\u2014rather, he welcomed the challenge. In the fifth game of the semifinal series at the end of his rookie season, Kobe shot four airballs that killed the team\u2019s chance of advancing. Despite the disappointment, he never worried that his missed shots would ruin his career. <strong>Kobe was confident that he was destined to be an NBA great\u2014he just needed to put in the work to get there. <\/strong>Kobe determined that he\u2019d missed those shots because his legs were spent after a long season, so he started a weight training program to strengthen his arms and legs, and he came back stronger for his second season.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As far as the views of Kobe Bryant on discipline, he was dedicated to improvement. He also made a point of having a versatile, well-rounded set of skills. As a child, Kobe wanted his left hand to be as strong and agile as his right, so he practiced writing his name with his left hand. As he got older, he took the same approach with dribbling\u2014he was just as strong at dribbling with his left hand as he was with his right. Similarly, he practiced shooting and passing from all distances in a variety of conditions. Kobe Bryant&#8217;s discipline paid off. His versatility had two primary benefits:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>When Kobe faced opponents who had researched his strengths and tendencies, he was able to catch them off-guard by switching up his direction and his pace.<\/li><li>When he had to play through injuries, he could adjust his playing style (for example, by playing with his left hand) and still have a strong game.&nbsp;<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Kobe trained with a focus on staying in control. In other words, <strong>Kobe worked to avoid letting his opponent limit or otherwise dictate how he could play.<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What is Kobe Bryant&#8217;s discipline theory in The Mamba Mentality?
