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 Mayweather’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. Kobe Bryant has always been known as a perfectionist and a player who despite being great wants strives to be the greatest.Bryant also talks about the Black Mamba mentality in which he says one has to "figure it out no matter what comes, whether its hell or high water." This resilient attitude has been at the core of Bryant's game, and it's what has made him bounce back from the many obstacles he has faced on and off the court.Kobe Bryant is one of the most popular basketball players on the planet. 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 isn’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 O’Neal, Shaq, Lakers basketball, Magic Johnson, Wilt Chamberlain, Michael Jordan

An NBA pundit said that great shooters are not made, they are born.The same can be said about Stephen Curry, to some degree. His father, Dell Curry, was always a great shooter. Steph obviously got a lot of his shooting abilities from the genetics his father passed on to him.

However, none of them ever won as many accolades like Michael Jordan has during his 15 years in the National Basketball Association with the Chicago Bulls. Even though he played two years of his career with the Washington Wizards, Jordan will always be remembered for wearing the red and black in Chicago and joining the list of aforementioned Chicago sports legends.Nearly 20 years after his final season with the Bulls, there’s now a bronze sculpture showing Jordan’s infamous “jumpman” pose in front of the United Center – a place that many consider “the house that Jordan built.” But many in Chicago will never forget his name for bringing six championships to the city within the 1990s. There are still fans that wear his iconic number 23 uniform and hold current stars like Derrick Rose to the same expectations as the Bulls continue to return to the glory from 20 years ago.There’s a reason Jordan built up one of the greatest careers that anyone has ever seen, not only the NBA, but throughout professional sports. His name also transcended into clothing, pop culture, movies, music, and other sports like baseball. Still, it all starts with everything he’s accomplished in basketball – with more than 32,000 points, six Most Valuable Player awards, and more several individual distinctions for both offense and defense.Jordan once said that basketball “has been everything. My place of refuge, place I’ve always gone where I needed comfort and peace. It’s been the site of intense pain and the most intense feelings of joy and satisfaction.”Tags: Michael Jordan, Chicago Bulls, Washington Wizards, Scottie Pippen, Dennis Rodman, LeBron James, Kobe Bryant, Magic Johnson, Derrick Rose

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

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 ‘70s. Then, during the ‘80s and ‘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

Some of the greatest championship teams in the history of the league had a point guard that allowed them to perform well on both ends of the floor.The ‘50s and ‘60s Boston Celtics had the services of Bob Cousy, who is regarded as the pioneer at the point guard position because of his excellent ball-handling skills and passing ability. The ‘60s and early ‘70s era of the Los Angeles Lakers thrived under the hot shooting and playmaking of Jerry West, who was so good that he was used as the model for the NBA’s logo. The 1971 championship team of the Milwaukee Bucks had Oscar Robertson, who was putting up triple-doubles at a rapid pace a few years back when he was still in his prime handling the point and passing the ball to Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. And who could ever disregard Magic Johnson, the man responsible for the Los Angeles Lakers dynasty of the ‘80s and the playmaker regarded as the best to play at his position?The ‘90s and 2000s also saw their share of terrific point guards who may not have won titles because of the dominance of teams like the Michael Jordan Chicago Bulls, Shaq, and the Big Three San Antonio Spurs that revolved around Tim Duncan. Such all-time great point guards are Penny Hardaway, Kevin Johnson, Jason Kidd, and Steve Nash.Did you like this short excerpt?

He is selfish and makes bad decisions on the court. He takes the ball away from great offensive players like Kevin Durant and James Harden. He is just another athletic “me-first” point guard, and the Thunders would be better off without him. In a few years, he will probably follow the legacies of Stephon Marbury and Steve Francis, point guards from the early 2000s, who are as well-known for their careers’ spectacular crashes as they are for their actual play, or even their inclination to win ball games.NBA analysts have said this of Westbrook ever since he soared to superstar status, and such claims are not totally without merit. Westbrook will sometimes try to do too much. In Game 2 of the 2012 NBA Finals against the Miami Heat, Westbrook took 27 shots in comparison to 22 shots from Durant. However, despite taking more shots, Westbrook finished with only 26 points as opposed to 32 for Durant. The great Magic Johnson, who won five NBA titles, said, “That was the worst point guard in a championship series I have ever seen.”Tags: Russell Westbrook biography, houston rockets basketball, oklahoma city thunder, nick collison, paul george, kevin durant, james harden, lebron james, kyrie irving, stephen curry

That is why the Heat franchise has become synonymous with that player’s name. The player in question is Dwyane Wade. Ever since entering the NBA in 2003, D-Wade, as he is commonly called, has transformed the Miami Heat franchise from being cellar-dwellers to a team to be contended with in the NBA. He has put the Heat organization on the NBA map with his terrific scoring, leadership abilities, and his penchant for winning titles.A surefire difference-maker who can do it all on the court for the Heat, whether in scoring, passing, rebounding, or defending, Dwyane Wade has been one of the best players the NBA has seen in this generation. Nicknamed “The Flash,” Wade runs the floor as fast as a race horse and can finish with a flourish at the basket despite being a lot smaller than most of the men he clashes with at the rim. With his superior dribbling abilities and point guard instincts, Wade can dictate the tempo of the game just by making plays for his teammates. And despite his height of merely 6’4”, Wade has hops high enough to block baskets at the rim, and he is widely regarded as the best shot-blocking guard in the history of the NBA.Tags: Dwyane Wade, Dwyane wade book, carmelo anthony, lebron james, derrick rose, kobe bryant, kevin love, chris bosh, chris paul, amare stoudemire, miami heat, kevin durant

A few big-name players come to mind—Michael Jordan, Scottie Pippen, Kobe Bryant, and LeBron James. What do those players have in common? They are all-time NBA greats. The NBA game has always been about playing both ends of the court. No matter how good a player is at getting buckets and putting up 30 points a night, he will never be considered truly great and might not even win a championship if he does not play the defensive end of the floor just as well as or even better than he does at the offensive end. Wing players have always been some of the most talented scorers in the history of the game. And among them, no other player has ever been more talented in putting points up on the board than MJ himself. But even Jordan was a Defensive Player of the Year awardee. Meanwhile, Kobe Bryant has an all-time high of nine All-Defensive First Team selections. Even LeBron James only won titles when he started putting more emphasis on his defense.Tags: paul george bio, paul george basketball, los angeles clippers basketball, indiana pacers basketball, larry bird, reggie miller, monta ellis, george hill, roy hibbert, russell westbrook, kawhi leonard

Long before Kyrie Irving’s golden years were over, he had already become a multi-game NBA All-Star, recipient of the 2012 Rookie of the Year Award, the 2014 NBA All-Star MVP, and NBA Champion with the Cleveland Cavaliers. Kyrie went to the NBA Finals at the tender age of 24 while most NBA players retire without ever having a shot at the championship. However, he would tell you these accolades are par for the course. Irving abides by his father’s advice to “stay hungry and humble,” words driving Irving’s relentless work ethic both on and off the court. In a league dominated by incredibly talented point guards, there is no choice for ambitious athletes but to aspire to greatness. For Kyrie, his impeccable ball handling along with his knack for acrobatic finishes around the rim distinguish him third from his contemporaries.Irving’s game is decisive and crafty but maintains a degree of elegance. He keeps opponents guessing from the top of the key right down to the bucket. His impressive dribbling ability and superb ambidexterity allow him to keep defenses on their heels. While the 24-second shot clock is ticking, Irving’s repertoire of moves seems to be inexhaustible.Tags: Kyrie Irving, LeBron James, Kevin Love, Cleveland Cavaliers, Boston Celtics, Brooklyn Nets, Duke Blue Devils, Duke Basketball, Stephen Curry, Isaiah Thomas, Gordon Hayward, Derrick Rose, Austin Rivers

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 6’7” 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!
