Kobe Bryant The Black Mamba

I am an NBA fan but what I have noticed about Kobe Bryant is that he don't have a nickname. Just like Allen Iverson "The Answer" or Paul Pierce "The Truth" and Lebron James is "King James" those names offen called to great players. But What I found out is that Kobe Bryant the L.A. Lakers superstar have not earned a name. Maybe because he claimed before to be the second Michael Jordan? As to my reaction on that why should he be the next Jordan?

Usually commentators or great writers pick names on the players. As to there appreciation on a certain player. They give them titles and those are there nicknames. I found out that it was Kobe himself made his own nick name and he name him self "The Black Mamba".

Lebron James did not even consider him self to be the next legend at his age. Were in he can broke so many records and hall of Farmer's. Instead he plays as his own and wins for his team. There are also other players who manage to be successful considering they idolize one common player.


I don't know what came into his mind acquiring that name. And how it is related to his career as a professional basketball player. Some fans considered him as the second Michael Jordan but for me he do not deserve it. Their can only be one Michael Jordan and that was the greatest player I have witnessed.

First and for most Michael had so many talents when it comes to individual skills. On the title he has 6 crowns on the Chicago Bulls. If nicknames were included He is known as "His Airness", "Air Jordan" and many more. How can Kobe Bryant compare his skills to the all time greatest player. If Michael was still young he would still reign in the game he believes he destroyed.
