Kobe Bryant shares the mamba mentality and how to live with a mindset of excellence.
"My mentality going into every single game was just to absolutely obliterate this guy."
You have to compete every single day. Then he explains what excellence really looks like:
"If you wanna play at an excellent level, if you wanna do something excellent, you have to be excellent all the time."
"When excellence becomes a habit, then that's just who you are."
Excellence isn't situational - it's who you are.
It's your habits and the standard that you set. It's about chasing, competing, and looking to give your best every single day.

En route to their championship, the Knicks became just the 3rd team to go 16-3 or better in the Playoffs since 2003 (when the NBA expanded to best-of-seven in all rounds), joining the 2017 Warriors (16-1) and 2024 Celtics (16-3).
@Mitch_Lawrence Mitch I recall hearing earlier in the season when you & @GeraldBlss were hosting together, you sort of doubted Mike Brown, & questioned his hire& Gerald said time will tell. Difference is Mike trusted his bench more than Thibs, & gave them a mental toughness.

@TheDunkCentral@GrantAfseth@wooskyyy@Tatum3njoyer@Moustache_bq@DrCumbutt I agree w/@darrylbefly, that players make up their own mind, so Moustache& Dr Cumbutt, yall couldn't be more wrong, players have freedom to go where they want, not victims of nothing, the majority get traded, white players& International do too, no one loves being victim Cumbutt.
@TheDunkCentral@GrantAfseth@wooskyyy@Tatum3njoyer Hey @Moustache_bq and @DrCumbutt There's no such thing as being victims, NBA players as free agents make up their own mind of where they want to go. Arranging a trade that's different, but guys have a right to be waived by a bad team you're traded to.
