Mookie Betts was among the sports stars Kobe Bryant inspired before his untimely death in January this year. The 28-year-old had referenced Kobe's success and mentality and revealed that he had drawn on 'Mamba Mentality' on big occasions during his career. Going into Game 7 of the National League Championship Series, Betts had called for a tougher mentality and a killer instinct to finish the job. In an interview with Body Armor, the Dodgers star revealed that the Lakers' legend's words of wisdom had helped him recover from a difficult phase in his career.

Betts had revealed that he was struggling in 2019 and had no idea who to approach and talk to about it. The 28-year-old said that he sent Kobe a text and asked him how he prepared each and every day from a mental perspective and what was his way to steer away from failure. Kobe responded by saying that each and every day he wanted to be the best person in the gym and put on a show every time.

Betts revealed that the change in mindset and perspective helped him and things took a turn for the better. The Dodgers star had previously also revealed his last conversation with Kobe and had told him that he would catch up with him in LA. Betts was then a Red Sox player but was traded to the Dodgers weeks after Kobe Bryant's tragic death.
