Kobe’s passing has left us all with an empty feeling inside. Despite the sadness we feel of a legend that has gone too soon, it’s important to never forget the lessons he has taught us which can be applied on and off the court. August 23 would have been Mamba’s 42nd birthday and today, as well as days ahead, we honor the legend that is Kobe Bean Bryant.

Kobe Bryant taught us to be better-a better scorer, better GOAT, better father. His philosophy of #MambaMentality changed the game and continues to inspire athletes like Serena Williams, Anthony Davis, Sydney Leroux, Diana Taurasi and Sky Brown today.

Kendrick Lamar narrates the ad which features other sports stars and even shares intimate moments with the legend and his family. Kobe’s daughter, Gigi also makes an appearance in the spot as well. Happy Birthday Kobe! #MambaMentality
