Earlier this week I posed the question "how far you are willing to go to be the best?" and that in order to be the best it takes hard, laborious even tedious work to get there.
Unfortunately, many people want and even dream about success but are either unwilling or too lazy to put in what it takes, and this article I just read proves it.
Love him or hate him you have to respect Kobe Bryant for his sheer determination to be the best, and for those that watched the last second victory over the Bucks, few could doubt his prowess.
Here is an excerpt from an article written by ESPN about Kobe:
That's what he does, right? That game-winner over Charlie Bell is precisely the reason that Kobe Bryant wins all kinds of surveys as most feared player in the NBA.
He knows who's going to be defending him. He knows where he wants to get on the court. He knows what he wants to do when he gets there. He knows how to account for his injured finger. He has practiced everything.
Other players are bigger and stronger. But nobody knows more, prepares better or better embodies sheer professionalism. Any success he has is well deserved.
Think back through his career. How many times have you seen him hit game-winners? 30? 40? A thousand? We can all remember plenty of them. And that's why he has the best selling jersey in the world.
Last night's shot gave Kobe Bryant fans precisely the evidence they need to prove, yet again, that this guy is the absolute best.
Who would question them?
