John Altobelli was one of the 9 people that died during the helicopter crash that also killed Kobe and Giana. Altobelli was also a baseball coach for the Orange Coast College baseball team and a good friend of Kobe due to both their daughters being players for the mamba sports academy basketball team. A text has surfaced that highlights Kobe's mamba mentality and how he used it to also empower others. This is a text that he sent Altobelli during a 2 game losing streak, quote
“By all means feel sorry for yourself. By all means make excuses. By all means feel discouraged. By all means don’t play like this game is the most important thing to you. By all means entertain yourself with other sh*t because the game of baseball will be here forever and you will have infinite opportunities to play this game. You will infinite opportunities to put on your gear, feel the glove, the ball, etc. The game of baseball will wait for you. Life will wait for you.
“It’s not as life can be taken away from you at any moment. Nooo that would be crazy, that would be cruel. Right? So, by all means, play the game as if [you] will have all the swings you can dream of and when the day comes when you realize baseball, that life doesn’t work that way, you will understand that the best [way] to play is by ANY MEANS necessary. By any means. No excuses. No waiting. Fck patience. Fck injuries and fck THEM. PLAY as if every at bat may be ur last because it very fcking well could be. So let’s make every single fcking one count. Lets go get these fckers!”-Kobe (https://clutchpoints.com/lakers-news-kobe-bryant-revealed-the-real-mamba-mentality-in-text-to-the-late-john-altobelli/)

One of the worst injuries that an athlete can have is a torn Achilles and unfortunately Kobe had to endure this during the 2012-2013 season. What was most memorable about this experience was the fact that Kobe still shot his 2 free throws and walked off the court on his own even though his Achilles was torn, it was not attached to his heel bone. With all of his career highlights and achievements even in tragedy he was still able to stay relentless with his mission to win and he never gave up.

February 4 2020 //The NBA will honor Kobe and Giana Bryant during the all star game by having all players from one team wear kobe's number 24 and the other Giana's number 2. Lebron chose to wear number 2, with a one word explanation as to why he picked it, "zhuri" referring to his 5 year old daughter.

In his polarizing pursuit to achieve this goal he didn't tolerate anyone who would not take the game and work ethic as serious as he did. As he got older he transitioned his personality and took on a big brother role to pass down knowledge and mentor younger athletes such as Lebron James and Kyrie Irving. The mamba mentality will live on through all of his fans.
