The Mamba mentality has crossed sports and is a movement

The Los Angeles icon Kobe Bryant wasn't like any other player before and after him. Instead, Kobe was an out-of-this-world athlete with one of the strongest mentalities anyone could ever find in a person.

With the beginning of a new regular season for the NFL, Kobe Bryant has been present as a representation of greatness. It is no secret that many athletes aspire to have the famous "Mamba mentality."

More Lakers news:

But one NFL player, Bobby Wagner, that not only admires Kobe Bryant but also wants some of his luck, used Kobe's picture inside of his socks during the entire Los Angeles Rams game. 

This way, Wagner has shown appreciation for the Lakers icon and has Kobe's picture as an amulet for good luck. The sad news is that it didn't works, as the rams lost on their opening night.

Fans think it is disrespectful.

Sometimes fans like to criticize everything, and instead of seeing this as an hommage to honor the Black mamba, fans think that Wagner should stay away from the great Lakers icon.
