Wolf on the Rock: The Ludicrous, Glorious
Doom of Kobe Bryant
The clarifying final act of Kobe Bryant.
BY BRIAN PHILLIPS ON JANUARY 8, 2015
Even at his peak, Kobe Bryant made greatness look grueling. He had every gift, every natural blessing —
but he made having them look hard. He could do whatever he wanted on a basketball court, but being in
charge of that kind of skill was exhausting, and the strain showed. It was as if he had to keep the Amazon
flowing with nothing but his own force of will. The scorn he directed at other players — at rivals, at his
own teammates — always seemed to come from a place not just of superior ability but also of superior

takes pride in carrying a heavy burden without mislaying it. He had contempt for anyone whose burden
was smaller, or who didn’t take it as seriously; this was why, after he’d made something of himself, he

where he wept unselfconsciously or seemed to float in the air. It was theater, but it completed the aura
of invincibility; here was an athlete whose supremacy was so unshakable that he could afford to act
unconcerned about it. Kobe could never be unconcerned, because unlike Jordan (or LeBron, or Shaq, or
Kevin Durant, or Allen Iverson), he didn’t inhabit hi
