Earlier today, I saw a snippet of an interview with the great Kobe Bryant, five-time NBA champion for the Los Angeles Lakers, who had just scored sixty points in his last professional game. (Unfortunately, it was against the Utah Jazz.)
He was asked how he would like to be remembered.
I was impressed by his reply.
He said that he would like to be remembered as “a talented overachiever.” He had been blessed with talent, he said, but he had worked as if he had none.
A really great way of looking at a whole host of things, and one of the reasons that he’s earned the right to be remembered among the greatest basketball players of all time.
