When Four Airballs Changed Everything
The Utah Jazz crowd roared with delight as the 18-year-old rookie launched his fourth consecutive airball in the 1997 playoffs. Most would have crumbled under that humiliation. Kobe Bryant went straight to a high school gym that night and started shooting. He returned the next morning. And the morning after that.

What emerged from those airballs became the Mamba Mentality, a philosophy that would transcend basketball and redefine how we think about excellence itself.
