  He’s known for the “Mamba mentality”, his belief in himself, insane work ethic, and psychopathic drive to win.

    I thought that was Michael Jordan who was well known for that, and popularized it first?

      Kobe’s nickname (self assigned) was the Black Mamba. Mamba Mentality was the book he wrote about his mindset. MJ was famously competitive but Kobe kind of took it to another level that bordered on sociopathic.

    Perhaps among those who saw him playing basketball at a top level, there were some who cared anough about the game to take note of his approach, but if you went out and asked 10,000 random humans, ‘do you know who Kobe Bryant is?’ and ‘What is he known for?’ approximately zero who say yes to the first part are going to answer the second part with anything about his personality. Even people who are almost precisely famous because of their outlook, like motivational speakers, are still better known as speakers than for their particular outlook.
