My hero is Kobe Bryant, He's always been someone that I looked up to. He's always been a hero to me because he gives me a lot of motivation. Listening to what he says and what he does makes me try harder in basketball. Without Kobe I probably wouldn't be motivated to play basketball as much, It would just be a sport to me.

Kobe was a great player, one of the best ever to play. I loved to watch Kobe Bryant play when I was younger, I always loved his play style and his moves. Kobe has so many signature moves and was unstoppable in his prime. He changed the game of basketball in so many ways, that's one of the ways he inspired me.

Kobe always tries 100% at everything he does. He came straight out of high school and entered the NBA. When he first got into the NBA, he wasn't a star, he wasn't that good until a few years into his career. He continuously worked until he could be the best on the team and one of the best in the NBA. He is known for having a great work ethic and with that work ethic he won 5 NBA Championships.

Kobe dominated the league, and helped the team so much. Kobe Bryant was an amazing all around player. In 2005, he averaged 35 points per game, he scored 81 points in 2006. He didn't start off as a star in the NBA, he continuously worked to get to the top. One of the reasons he inspired me so much was because of how much he impacted his team and the NBA.

Bryant will always be one of my favorite heroes of all time. He was an all around awesome person, he helped out the community a lot too. The impact that he left on basketball is remarkable. He's one of my favorite players of all time. I think if Kobe was never in the league, many things would be different, he's definitely one of the best players of all time.
