From Los Angeles to Shanghai to Philly, Kobe Bryant is one of the most notable athletes in our generation. Growing up in Philadelphia, Bryant had two loves, basketball and the Philadelphia Eagles. After getting drafted out of Lower Merion High School, Bryant repped his Eagles fandom all the time, including on the Lakers' bench.

“I get nervous before every game”
“I think the character of this team is special. And thats what wins championships...
Fingers crossed🤞🏾”

When a five-time champion says the Eagles chemistry is special, playoff teams better watch out.
Bryant's influence has reach over into all major sports. Many NFL stars have joined Bryant by retweeting the #MambaMentality hashtag on Twitter.

Well it didn't end how I thought it would, but I am so motivated to come back stronger and even more locked in than ever. #MambaMentality

We'll see how effective that #MambaMentality is on Sunday when the Eagles battle for playoff seeding against the first place Los Angeles Rams.
