In this game, Kobe, 34 years old, was nursing a sprained ankle, hyperextended his knee in the first half, and tore his Achilles in the 4th quarter and he still got up to shoot his free throws and walked off the court When they asked him why he said “I’d be damned if we lose this game… all that hardwork, just goes out the window..” His Greatness was in the way he attacked his passion. And when it hit back, he kept standing… “There are far greater issues challenges in the world than a torn Achilles. Stop feeling sorry for yourself, find the silver lining and get to work with the same belief, same drive and same conviction as ever.” #MambaDay #kb824 #824 #kobebryant #kobeforever
