He’s got it all…huge skills and ability mixed with the ultimate “refuse to lose” mindset. He sets the example THEN he tells his team-mates to step it up if and when when it’s needed. Those are the kinds of leaders people naturally want to follow. All of that leads to multiple championships over a long period of time just like we’re witnessing now. I won’t be surprised if Kobe ends up with 6 or 7 rings when he’s finally done. I’ve been lucky to be alive during the Bill Walton, Doctor J, Magic, Bird, MJ, and Kobe eras. It’s been fun!
