Why I Select Kobe Bryant As My Idols
All my jokes about loving Kobe aside, I really admire the man. To me Kobe is more than a basketball player. Kobe Bryant is the first person I ever looked up to and probably the person who has had the greatest impact on me who i haven’t met in real life.
When I first watch NBA, the Lakers and Kobe was one of the first things I heard about. During that time I became a fan of Kobe Bryant. Watching what this man could do on the court had me in a state of pure joy and awe. To see this man fly at people and dunk on them while making shots that seemed impossible put the biggest smile on my face and to this day it still does.
Through all the things that happened in my life there was always one thing that I could count on. Watching Kobe play basketball was always my escape from the troubles that I was facing. Watching this man play basketball is one of the greatest joys of my life. He inspires me because his work ethic taught me that I should always try hard in whatever I do and if I don’t try then it’s not worth doing. Kobe was my first role model.
To see him still playing at such a high level is truly an honour and privilege. The way he can still be one of the top players in the world at his age is amazing and I cherish every game where I can watch him dominate the opposing team while making it look effortless. I don’t know what’s going to happen to the Lakers when Kobe leaves but for now I will enjoy watching every game that he plays.
Kobe Bryant is my idol. He always will be.
