Colin Cowherd Gets Choked Up Remembering the Legendary Life of Kobe Bryant

Colin Cowherd: “Sometimes the NBA feels like a genetics league. NBA guys are 6’7” and 6’8” and they can jump and dunk… But Kobe was very relatable. There are 50 guys in the NBA right now who are just as athletic as Kobe, but what really connected to me was ‘Mamba Mentality’. No one is allowed to give themselves a nickname and have it stick, but Kobe did and it stuck. What ‘Mamba mentality’ was telling you was that even though he was a Laker, and even though he was a celebrity, and even though he had a net worth over $300 million, the ‘Mamba Mentality’ was telling you that it’s about THE WORK. When guys give themselves nicknames it’s often about themselves, but really it was about what Kobe gave us. These markers, these moments, and THE WORK. It hurts, it should, no reason to explain it.” (Full Video Above)
