A user on X recently shared a video of Kobe dislocating his finger in a game against LeBron James. Kobe snapped his finger back and returned to battle LeBron.

This is just more proof that Kobe’s Mamba Mentality was something special to watch. While most players are taking games off to “rest”, Kobe was snapping his fingers back in just to go out and compete.
