“Hamstring be Damned!”: 5x Champ Kobe Bryant Talked About how Injuries can Dissipate in Times of Need  

Kobe Bryant is no stranger to injuries but according to the 5x champ, if your family was in danger, nothing would matter, not even injuries.

When human beings are compelled to do things out of fear and necessity, there is nothing much they can’t do. The ultimate push is in danger as they say.

If you are afraid of something and you decide to do it out of fear, the outcome won’t matter, you already won by doing it. Kobe Bryant was a proponent of this message.

When we often look back at his life and legacy, we think of the greatness he achieved. His 5 championships, numerous all-star, all-NBA, and all-defensive team selections, came about from his desire to succeed.

He was a master of pushing himself to the limit. He stayed fit almost throughout the entirety of his career. Towards the tail end of his career, time caught up to him and he was marred by injuries. And yet, Kobe fundamentally believed that it didn’t matter.
