Kobe Bryant is a cultural icon and role model who crossed the boundaries of basketball. All around the world, athletes and fans alike sought inspiration from Kobe. His work ethic and dedication to his game were admired by all. In fact, his NIKE Shoes are worn by several players who wish to honor his memory and his craft.
Odell Beckham Jr. is an NFL wide receiver who plays for the Los Angeles Rams. Rams acquired OBJ during the season after he signed a one-year deal with them. On his day, OBJ is one of the best receivers in the league and until a couple of years ago, he was considered a vital asset to the team.

However, his career has been derailed by injuries and poor man-management by the Cleveland Browns. After signing with the Rams, OBJ now aims to reach his best and will be keen to add a Super Bowl to his resume.
Notably, the Los Angeles Rams recently took on the San Francisco 49ers in the NFC Championship game. The Rams reached the NFC final after getting past Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on a last-second field goal. Meanwhile, the 49ers got past Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers in a tightly contested contest. The 49ers have won both the meetings between the two teams in the regular season.
OBJ was spotted seen wearing Kobe’s Kicks for the championship game. Certainly, he would wish to take after Black Mamba and would want to reach his first Super Bowl. OBJ has had a good postseason as he scored his first playoff touchdown in the Wildcard game and will indeed be keen to increase that count on Sunday.
