It’s always emotional when a sports superstar announces his or her retirement. When Kobe Bryant, the Los Angeles Lakers superstar, wrote a poem Dear Basketball to say goodbye to his careers on November 29, in 2015, the sadness was great. “I can’t love you obsessively for much longer.” He wrote, “This season is all I have left to give.”
With an NBA Most Valuable Player award, five NBA championships with the Lakers and two Olympic gold medals, “Kobe Bryant is one of the greatest players in the history of our game,” NBA Commissioner Adam Silver said, “Whether competing in the finals or shots in an empty gym, he has an unconditional love for the game.”
Indeed, there have been so many stories about Bryant’s strong work ethic. When Team USA was training in Las Vegas months before it headed to London for the 2012 Olympic Games, Bryant started his workout at 5:30 every morning in the gym until team practice began at 11:00 am. During each practice Bryant counted every single shot he hit, and he wouldn’t leave the gym until he had hit at least 400, This kind of hard work certainly paid off. The third-leading scorer in NBA history, Bryant is ahead of Michael Jordan.
In the eyes of many young players, Bryant was the new image they needed. “I didn’t really have the chance to watch Jordan, but Kobe was my Jordan.” A young player wrote on his micro blog. “After his game was over, I’d go in the front yard and try to imitate everything I had just seen. I’m not saying he’s better than Jordan — but for me, growing up, that’s who I admired.”
