Kobe Bryant created his 'Black Mamba' alter-ego as a way to get through the lowest point of his career
Bryant was known as "The Black Mamba," a nickname he gave himself to separate his professional life from his personal life.During the aftermath of the court case, Bryant says he needed to organize his life and for "Kobe" to handle his "personal challenges."Kobe Bryant's nickname is "The Black Mamba," a name he gave himself. But for Bryant, the moniker is more than a nickname. It is an alter-ego he created to get through the lowest point of his career.
"I went from a person who was at the top of his game, had everything coming, to a year later, having absolutely no idea where life is going or if you are even going to be a part of life as we all know it," Bryant said in the documentary.. While Bryant does not mention the case directly, he does spend a good deal of time in the documentary talking about how close his family came to breaking up.
"I had to separate myself," Kobe explains. "It felt like there were so many things coming at once. It was just becoming very, very confusing. I had to organize things. So I created The Black Mamba." "The length, the snake, the bite, the strike, the temperament," Bryant told Babb, who also noted that Bryant was well aware that snakes shed their skin. " 'Let me look this s--- up.' I looked it up — yeah, that's me. That's me!' ""When Bryant returned to the court, the wholesome young athlete was gone.
