Kobe Bryant was considered one of the best players ever, and was one of his favorite players watching basketball as a child. Black Mamba is Bryant’s signature nickname, which proves his mental strength and steadily rising value. When a snake sees its prey, it does not miss it. In other words, it is the most clear expression of Bryant’s mentality, surrounded by a strong desire for basketball and strong motivation for championship.

The Los Angeles Lakers, led by him and Shaquille O'Neal, have become the best haven for me to cheer for Chan-ho Park. Although I had little chance to watch the NBA because he lived in a humble place, he learned about it through the occasional sports news in his childhood and later opened up a new hobby as he watched his records and games over the Internet. Through Bryant, I got to know the NBA, which opened my eyes to American basketball. Bryant had to be the most visible to himself when Chan-ho's team in the MLB looked at the Lakers.

Even greater is the fact that he always yearned to be the best, and when he stood alone, without O’neal, many were outspoken in their criticism. But he eventually made his own way and jumped into a new ranks by linking his moves to victory. Most of all, he worked steadily to be the best, and was the first to come to work and the last to get off work. His diligence was far beyond comparison in the NBA, and his desire for triumph was greater than anyone else. Despite his injury, he burned a great fight on the court, sitting and playing painfully to play the season.

He played to the end of the season and was on the verge of winning, despite the fact that his right index finger and bone fragments were moving around and the ligaments of his little finger were broken. However, he lost in the final in 2008, he blew the steam of winning his fifth individual title in 2009 and 2010, leading the team down to the championship. Although he didn't add to the title afterwards, his steady performance and his unwavering attitude toward defense, while he is a major scorer, teach him a lot of lessons for himself living in reality.

On the day he retired, so many close friends contacted me. Looking at the retirement of Michael Jordan of our generation, I could read that memories and thoughts about me were exchanged. Thankfully, I was able to talk to many people because there were many people around me who liked basketball, and some of them liked Bryant more than me and talked about basketball more than anyone else. Recently, the friend was seriously injured with a ruptured left Achilles tendon. I was worried because I was seriously hurt and, to make matters worse, my worries about my friends have grown day. When I met him, I ordered a book early to hand it to him, and I waited more than anyone else to meet my proud friend.

I hope this album will be a lot of motivation for him, and I hope that as a great fan of Bryant, memory of My friend will have more certainty and variety regarding one of the best Shooting Guard into basketball history. Above all, I sincerely hope that my friend will get well soon and pray that other things will be resolved. And one more reminder of what it is like to "do the best" again with this incident, for himself, who has to learn Bryant’s mentality more than anyone else.
