Kobe Bryant
The late MVP Kobe Bryant, AKA “The Black Mamba” is one of the famous basketball players from the team of Los Angeles Lakers. He is also a huge fan of kung fu martial arts, specifically Bruce Lee and his way of intercepting fist, Jeet Kune Do.
Bryant incorporated his martial arts mindset into basketball, and he became famous with Mamba Mentality.
“It seems Bruce Lee has nothing to do with basketball. To me it has everything to do with basketball. There are a lot of similarities by doing so, no one knows what you are going to do next, therefore, they don’t know how to fight back…I’ve been working hard to infuse his principles of utility, agility, speed and efficiency to my own training.” – Kobe Bryant
