On 26 January 2020, the whole world was grieving, mourning over the loss of Kobe Bryant, aka “The Mamba”.
Who was Kobe Bryant?
Kobe was an American Professional Basketball Player. He played his entire 20-year career in the National Basketball Association (NBA) with Los Angeles Lakers and won 5 NBA championships.
He was an 18-time All-Star, 15-time member of the All-NBA Team, 12-time member of the All-Defensive team, and the 2008 NBA Most Valuable Player (MVP). Apart from this, he is also known to the business world as a brand-builder, an investor and a coach to other athletes and company founders.
But most importantly he was famous for his attitude, and his so-called “Mamba Mentality”
What is the Mamba Mentality?
According to Kobe, the Mamba Mentality is a mindset that extends way beyond basketball or sports.
“We don’t quit,
We don’t cower,
We don’t run,
We endure & conquer
That’s Mamba Mentality”
It’s simple, if you have a goal or a dream, you need to apply the Mamba Mentality to achieve it. Everything worth achieving needs total focus and dedication.
Did you know: Kobe Bryant once said that he wanted to be remembered more for investing than basketball.
What investors can learn from him?
