Late NBA legend Kobe Bryant was one of the best players ever to grace the basketball court. His career and life have been an inspiration to people across the world. Recently, a 57-year-old retired bodybuilder found himself motivated by ‘The Mamba’s’ words. The person on the receiving end of the wisdom was none other than retired bodybuilding legend Flex Wheeler. Notably, Wheeler emerged victoriously after facing several setbacks in his career. Despite combating a depressing childhood, a near-fatal car accident, and a leg amputation surgery, Wheeler continues to stay motivated. Recently, he shared wise words from the late NBA legend Kobe Bryant that reflected the spirit of never giving up.

Bryant and Wheeler have faced their fair share of struggles in life. However, both of them never surrendered to their adversities. Recently, Flex Wheeler shared a video of the late LA Lakers’ shooting guard’s quote on life.

What were Kobe Bryant’s motivating words?

Flex Wheeler frequently shares motivating content for his large social media fan following. He believes in staying focused on one’s goals regardless of the circumstances. Apart from posting his own motivational ideas, he keeps sharing encouraging words from other renowned personalities.

Recently, he took to Instagram and shared Kobe Bryant’s wise words in one of his Stories. He captioned the video, “Wise words from the Black Mamba.”

In the video, the five-time NBA champion motivates his fans saying, “Always keep going. Always. No matter what happens, the storm eventually ends. And when the storm does end you wanna make sure that you’re ready.” One can say that Bryant shared the learning of his career. He did not become an NBA legend in a day. It took him patience and hard work to reach the top. He did not fear failure, and instead, he used his shortcoming as fuel to become a better version of himself.

Flex Wheeler’s ‘will of fire’ is similar to Kobe Bryant’s…

After a near-fatal car accident in 1994, Wheeler began building his body from scratch and returned to the championship. The four-time Arnold Classic champion faced his life’s biggest setback after going through a leg amputation surgery in 2019. Despite the adversities, Wheeler continues to work out in the gym and also coaches, passing over his priceless knowledge of the sport.

Notably, Wheeler won the Arnold Classic four times. Following his retirement, he got all the time in the world to give attention to martial arts. Wheeler is a living legend, and it was commendable to watch him acknowledge ‘The Mamba’s’ words.
