Kobe Bryant has at times been accused of being a lone wolf, an assassin-type whose main concern is his own dominance, and who will let once-in-a-lifetime partnerships fall to the wayside at the expense of ego games. But Kobe proved to be a consummate leader in guiding the Los Angeles Lakers to two championships in the late ’00s, and has established himself as the greatest Laker of all time, even in the eyes of ‘The Big AARP’ to whom we alluded. So while the Black Mamba is indeed more private than this generation’s tweet-happy superstars, the deceptively vibrant build of the surprisedrops via Nike ‘Wolf’ celebrates the strength in his self-reliance. Kobe’s currently leading the league in scoring; might his Kobe VII ‘Predator Pack’ releases be the most prevailent in your collection when they drop in full force this spring? Look for the ‘Shark’ at select Nike Basketball retailers on Valentine’s Day, and click through to see more of the Zoom Kobe 7 ‘Wolf’ in advance of its March 1st release date.
