Diving into two basketball legends, LeBron James and Kobe Bryant, and what we can learn from their approach to the game of basketball.

LeBron on discipline,

"You have to sacrifice loved one for a long period of time."

Kobe on the Mamba Mentality,

"The mindset isn't about seeking a result—it’s more about the process of getting to that result. It’s about the journey and the approach. It’s a way of life. I do think that it’s important, in all endeavors, to have that mentality ."
