The Laws of Kobe

This is probably not an official documentary film of Kobe but it outlines very good life lessons using Kobe and basketball as a jump off point. They summarized the philosophy and the thinking of what made Kobe Bryant great, not only in basketball but in his endeavors after he retired. I found the laws on this video really good and these are lessons from the game of basketball translated into the bigger picture of life and living a great one.

Law #1

The law of presence - Performance increases as though decreases.

Law #2 

The law of reverse effort - The harder you try to play well, the more difficult the game becomes.

Law #3

The law of extremes - As emotion increases, consistency decreases.

Law #4

The law of transformation - The player who seeks growth advances faster than a player who seeks accomplishment.

Law #5

The law of identity - The player you believe yourself to be is the player you will see.

Law #6

The law of magnetism - The game comes to a player who does not try to pull the game towards himself.

Law #7

The law of mastery - The game rewards the player who needs no reward other than the game itself.

Law #8

The law of transcendence - Basketball is not life; it is a teacher of life.

 

 

Watch the video below as it masterfully connects these laws through Kobe and basketball.
