Can you believe that aside from everything else Kobe Bryant has accomplished in his life, he also has an acting credit under his belt?! This guy is superhuman. He appeared in the 2012 I Am Bruce Lee documentary, a film commemorating Lee Jun-fan (known professionally as Bruce Lee) for his achievements on the big screen. Kobe Bryant has always been a huge fan of the martial arts guru, and even goes as far as calling Bruce Lee one of his biggest basketball influences. In 2010 while on tour in Asia, Kobe spoke on his role model saying, “it seems to others that Bruce Lee has nothing to do with basketball, to me he has everything to do with basketball”. The Chinese energy concept of Qi fascinates Kobe, especially it’s relation to not only martial arts, but also to basketball. Kobe likes the way Bruce Lee fights in a “formlessness” way that is very loose and organic. The all-star baller tries to incorporate this fluidity into his game by playing loosely and being able to adapt to different situations quickly.
