NBA legend Kobe Bryant was one of the most competitive athletes ever. Fans around the world love the Black Mamba for his elite mentality. Over the course of his career, Bryant had to deal with many injuries. However, he has always come back stronger. Furthermore, Kobe has always shown his mental strength and has continued playing at times with a mid-game injury. Even when he ruptured his Achilles tendon, which is a very painful injury, he stood up and hit both free throws before leaving the court.

Because of this mentality, Kobe’s name has become synonymous with never giving in despite pain. However, every individual is different, and every individual has their own way of dealing with things.
