Kobe Bryant is known as one of the fiercest competitors to ever play the game, and he has the rings to prove it. But it didn't happen overnight, he worked his whole life to achieve greatness, to hone his "Mamba Mentality". It all came together 30 years ago this week, as he led his high school team all the way to their first state championship in 53 years. It was the first taste of what he would go on to experience 5 more times in the NBA.
