It was also the codename used by Uma Thurman's assassin character in the Quentin Tarantino movie Kill Bill. And yes, Black Mamba was also the boxing nickname given to Floyd Mayweather Jr.'s uncle, Roger Mayweather. For sure, Bryant never wanted a part of the Mayweatherā€™s so it must have been that Tarantino movie that got into him. It turns out that Bryant did in fact watch Kill Bill and was so intrigued by the codename Black Mamba that he said he checked out the snake. Upon reading up on the mamba, Bryant decided that it was the perfect description of how he wanted his game to be. The Black Mamba is said to have a 99% striking accuracy at maximum speed and in rapid succession. Bryant said it's the kind of surgical precision that he wants in his game.

He is, without a doubt, one of the greatest scorers in the game and one of the most lethal offensive weapons that has ever graced the NBA's courts. However, Kobe Bryant isn't all about scoring points. He is a winner and he has proved that he can win on his own. Bryant isnā€™t just about basketball either. He is also a million dollar businessperson and a worldwide icon. More importantly, Bryant is a husband, a father, and a son. Like all of us, he is only human and has committed many mistakes in his life.Tags: Kobe Bryant, Los Angeles Lakers, The Black Mamba, Kobe, Shaquille Oā€™Neal, Shaq, Lakers basketball, Magic Johnson, Wilt Chamberlain, Michael Jordan

These are the stories that make people adore the player and what he has been through to get to the top. More importantly, these are the stories that inspire young children to work just as hard, if not harder, than their idol to reach the success that they aspire to achieve. Several of the greatest players in league history have had to endure poverty before they found success in the NBA. Allen Iverson barely had a home growing up before he starred at Georgetown. In his MVP speech back in 2014, Kevin Durant said that his mother raised him and his brother alone while the family moved from roof to roof. The same was true for LeBron James, who was raised alone by his mother when she was only 16 years old. These players not only earned millions as NBA superstars but have also become fan favorites because of how they worked their way up to get to the league.Tags: Giannis Antetokounmpo Bio, Giannis Antetokounmpo basketball, Milwaukee Bucks basketball, Khris Middleton, Jason Kidd, Kristaps Porzingis, Kyle Lowry, Jabari Parker, Matthew Dellavedova, Russell Westbrook, Kawhi Leonard, Anthony Davis, Kevin Durant, Thon Maker

Those players all had the right combination of skill, athleticism, popularity, charisma, and the will to win that made them successful superstars in their eras. In essence, those great shooting guards have all become unique playersā€”the likes of which could probably never be duplicated in the history of the league. Uniqueness has always been what describes the best shooting guards in league history. Their distinctive set of skills has been one of the catalysts to how the league grows and changes. And because the greatest shooting guards in league history are so unique, the position has become arguably the most difficult to play at the highest level. As difficult a task as it is to become a great shooting guard because of how much the position demands that a player try to match their skills with that of the all-time greats, even tradition yields to how the game changes with the passage of time. Jordan, Bryant, Wade, and Drexler are no doubt all great and unique. However, no other shooting guard in the NBA is as unique as James Harden.Hope you liked this excerpt!

Outside of Football Brady's Personal Life and Charitable Work Tom Brady's LegacyAn excerpt from this Tom Brady biography:In sports, you usually only remember the great ones and the players who were able to carry and reshape the entire sport because of how they dominated it individually as well as from a team standpoint. But while it is easy to point out the greatest players in many different sports because they are often judged using the same categories, football can be quite different.The Mt. Rushmore of greatness in the world of football can be a bit difficult to chisel not only because the sport has seen a lot of greats who have paved the way for the current generation to thrive, but also because different players play entirely different positions and styles. Nevertheless, there are still those who stand out, especially when it comes to the quarterback spot and to the way they led their teams to Super Bowls.When you are talking about the National Football League, there is arguably no one who is more accomplished than Tom Brady. You are talking about someone who has done and seen it all. This guy has won more than a handful of Super Bowls, been awarded the MVP, and made multiple Pro Bowls. Brady is on an entirely different level and what is more impressive is that he was able to do it consistently for a long time. With how popular Brady has become, he has reached heights of popularity no other football player has probably ever seen. Let us also throw in some major motion picture appearances, a few hit television shows like Saturday Night Live and Family Guy, and being considered by many as one of the faces of todayā€™s NFL. One could even argue that he is actually the face of the entire history of the NFL with the way he has dominated the league consistently.Hope you liked this excerpt!

From its earliest days when big men ruled the paint in a fast-paced style that did not have a three-point line, NBA basketball transformed into a more structured defensive style of play in the ā€˜70s. Then, during the ā€˜80s and ā€˜90s, the game became more physical as teams relied more on a grind-it-out style that involved a lot of one-on-one, man-to-man defense. During the 2000s, we saw teams relying more on superstars as names such as Kobe Bryant, LeBron James, Dirk Nowitzki, Kevin Garnett, and Dwyane Wade emerged as players you can give the ball to if you want your team to get buckets. This steadily transitioned into a different style of play over the next decade as franchises began to create super teams with three or more All-Stars. However, though there are still super teams in today's era, the style has become more reliant on overall team play instead of just putting the ball in the hands of the team's three All-Stars. We saw the Golden State Warriors playing that way since they won the NBA title in 2015. Though they had many stars on their team, they relied more on spacing and ball movement to win games. This led to the current pace-and-space era where teams rely more on increasing the tempo of the game while spacing the floor with four or more shooters. This pace-and-space era led to the introduction of positionless basketball that demands all five players to bring the ball up, make plays for others, and shoot the ball from the perimeter. You are now seeing frontcourt players 6'7" or taller spacing the floor with their three-point shooting or even playing the point from time to time.Tags: Jayson Tatum biography, Boston Celtics basketball, Jayson Tatum book, books for basketball fans

You speak of the greats such as Michael Jordan, Wilt Chamberlain, Bill Russell, Larry Bird, Magic Johnson, and Kobe Bryant when ranking the best players in NBA history. There is no doubt that LeBron belongs in such a discussion and may have become greater than any player except perhaps Michael Jordanā€”and there is even speculation that he might have become better than Jordan himself.In a career that started in 2003 when he was drafted as an 18-year-old high school phenom, LeBron James took the league by storm and has always been one of the best the NBA had to offer. Nobody in the world has ever seen a basketball player quite like him. His skills, talents, and physical gifts were unparalleled to the point that he was lauded as the next great thing in NBA basketball.Physically, LeBron James was always regarded as the most gifted athlete in league history. Standing about 6'8" and weighing at least 250 pounds of muscle, James has always had the size and strength that rivals the all-time great physique of Karl Malone. But despite his size and strength, LeBron James moves as quickly as a guard and has the athleticism of Dominique Wilkins.Hope you liked this excerpt!

After all, everyone loves a story wherein someone was considered an underdog but continued to work his way up to become one of the best. Underdogs are much more relatable to the general public because many people know what it feels like to be looked at like someone who does not have the talent and the physical capabilities to become one of the greats in their respective fields.We cheered for the underdog athletes who became some of the best at their craft even though the odds were against them. Jeremy Lin, a Harvard graduate, suddenly became a global sensation in the NBA even though Ivy League players are not known to excel in professional sports. Tom Brady, who was drafted in the sixth round of the NFL, is arguably the greatest quarterback in the history of the sport. You might even consider global football celebrity Odell Beckham Jr. as an underdog since nobody back in 2014 considered him to be the best athlete at his position during the NFL draft, but he quickly rose to prominence to achieve a level of stardom no one had thought possible.In recent years in the MLB, there seems to be one particular underdog story that has captured all of us because of how unlikely it was for him to become one of the best baseball players in all of America today. And this story really is not difficult to miss because of how literally large the man is. This is the story of Aaron Judge, an underdog in terms of his journey, but certainly not someone you would consider an underdog if you just looked at his size.Standing 6ā€™7ā€ and well over 280 pounds, Aaron Judge is considered to be the largest player at the outfielder position in terms of body mass in the history of MLB. He has the size that would allow him to hold his own against professional wrestlers, is bigger than LeBron James, and has the powerful body strength that would enable him to stand his ground against offensive linemen in the NFL. But just because he is huge, it does not mean that Aaron Judge was always figuratively one of the biggest players in MLB.Hope you liked this excerpt!
