re: "it's my responsibility to put this shite on my back and keep it going!!"

Safe to say the one who didn’t make a super team is more the one w the mamba mentality

He's one of the longest tenured players in the league and met Kobe when he was 15. He's known him for 2 decades. He played against him and with him.

Kobe was an idol and a rival of Lebrons. They had just spoken on the phone that same Sunday morning WTF.

Boom out here trolling with 11 year old Chris Broussard articles

Lebron said himself he doesn’t have the mamba mentality. How on earth that is a troll I have no idea. Even Kobe was taken aback that Lebron would come out and say that he did not posesss the mamba mentality.

My bad, boom. You're not trolling with a quote from Lebron 11 yrs ago before he won anything.

I think it's pretty obvious after the comeback against Warriors in the finals, and numerous other times, that he developed that killer instinct as his career progressed.

eta: Where was Harden's invite to Kobe's camp?

Yea we saw that instinct when he run off to form a super team bc he knew he wasn’t good enough. And we saw it when he went 1-8 v GSW w Durant.

Quotes from James Harden from less than 5 years ago

While no one is disputing the amount of pressure that Harden has on his shoulders, superstars make it work regardless of the weight of carrying a team on their backs. Kobe Bryant averaged 35.4 points per game in a season and was still named to All-Defensive First Team. LeBron James has twice finished second in Defensive Player of the Year voting despite facing more pressure than any individual player in the league.

The actual mamba mentality has nothing to do with killing people. It’s about not making excuses for your failures and never getting outworked by your opponents.

quote:

---

Mamba mentality is all about focusing on the process and trusting in the hard work when it matters most,” he told Amazon Book Review. “It’s the ultimate mantra for the competitive spirit. It started just as a hashtag that came to me one day, and it’s grown into something athletes — and even non-athletes — embrace as a minds

Sorry but you can’t put Lebron anywhere around the words competitive spirit after he run to Miami to team up with two other top 10 players to make a super team. You just can’t.

During a Q&A session with Lakers fans, Kobe was asked what current player he would start his team with and responded with James Harden of the Houston Rockets:

Kobe to Tyson Chandler: "He's [James Harden] going to be the next one after me.”

April 2018, Bryant spoke to USA TODAY Sports about that year’s MVP race, in which current Lakers superstar LeBron James finished second. Bryant’s comments: James [Harden] has done so much all season long. It’s got to be James. I really don’t understand the debate about picking somebody else. I don’t get it. Like, what the hell does this guy have to do? I mean for the last three years, the guy has been absolutely lights out, and now you still want to sit here and debate who should be MVP when he leads the league in scoring [30.4] his assists numbers [8.8] are off the charts, they have the best record in the league [65-17].
