I used to have a huge Kobe picture in my room on the wall
I was obsessed. But then after growing up, all his scandal, and his tattling - I got over him; however I recently read an article about his reaction to Michael Jordan's critical comments and I am a fan of his words:
Bryant, however, is comfortable revealing how he hopes to be remembered after his career is over. He entered the NBA in 1996 as a No. 13 pick. At that time, only former Lakers general manager Jerry West had visions of Bryant becoming a superstar.
“I’ve always been comfortable as a kid growing up to think that when my career is over, I want them to think of me as an overachiever despite the talent that I have,” Bryant said. “To think of me as a person that’s overachieved, that would mean a lot to me. That means I put a lot of work in and squeezed every ounce of juice out of this orange that I could.
“Hopefully, they perceive me as person who did whatever he had to do to win above all else. Above anything. Above stats. … If they say that about me I’ll be happy.”

I, too, would like to be remembered as someone that took all God's blessings and the talents that He blessed me with and pushed them to the limits.
