Curry pays tribute with tears: Only three NBA players inherit the true Mamba spirit! Exposed training secret at 4 a.m.

How is Kobe Bryant's Mamba spirit defined? Warriors superstar Stephen Curry recently admitted in an interview: "Except me, only two people in the league have truly inherited Kobe's Mamba genes." This sentence instantly ignited the basketball circle - who can be recognized by Curry? Is the Mamba spirit more than just a desire for victory or defeat?

Curry did not shy away from his admiration: "I am an avid fan of Kobe. His competitive will and paranoia for details completely changed modern basketball." He recalled that Kobe once told him: "Greatness comes from those efforts that no one sees." It was this sentence that made Curry persist in training at 4 a.m., even after winning the championship, he still practiced 500 three-pointers.

But Curry emphasized that Mamba's spirit is by no means simply imitating actions: "It is a kind of DNA! It is paranoid about the limit, and it is zero tolerance for failure." He believes that among the active players, only two have this trait: one is the Celtics' Tatum, whose cold-blooded winning goal at critical moments is very similar to Kobe; the other is the Bucks' Antetokounmpo, whose counterattack from substitute to MVP is a nearly self-abuse training crazy mode.

Why don't the rest of the alliance count? Curry explained: "Many people misunderstand that Mamba's spirit is just a competitive spirit. But Kobe's essence is 'creation impossible' - he reshapes the limits of technology and redefines the boundaries of willpower." He cited examples that although Durant and Irving are strong, they are more driven by talent; while the true Mamba successor must have both technical paranoid and obsessive-compulsive disorder.

fans hotly discussed: Don't Leonard and Butler count? Curry shook his head: "They are tough, but Kobe's soul is 'artist' - to win, and to win in the most incredible way." He believes that Tatum's outbreak in this year's finals is a Mamba-like awakening, and Antetokounmpo's 50+ win with an injury replicates Kobe's obsession.

At the end of

Curry lamented: "Now the league emphasizes brother basketball more, but Kobe taught us that greatness requires loneliness paranoia." Perhaps the Mamba spirit has never faded, but it just flows in the blood of a few people in a more silent way - such as the gym at 4 a.m., and the eyes on the field that never dodge key balls.
