My hero

Kobe Bryant of the Los Angeles Lakers is my hero. His hero qualities include his offensive and defensive skills on the court along with his intense desire to win. His calm, intimidating passion for the game of basketball sets him apart from his peers in the league. His status as a superstar didn’t appear over night. It took years of hard work and fighting through adversity both as a professional basketball player and as a person. Kobe’s humor and ability to get along with his teammates has also set him apart from any other player in the league. In my eyes Kobe surpasses any of the players in the league and I hope that one day I will have the passion and desire that he does to play the game of basketball.
