The picture that Wilson posted appears to be from a celebrity softball game that the two played in together. Without a doubt, it likely came after a home run or a clutch hit from Bryant.
When the news that Bryant and his daughter Gianna passed away, athletes around the globe sent their condolences. Even people that didn't know the legendary player for the Los Angeles Lakers mourned his passing.
During Bryant's career, he preached having a ‘Mamba Mentality' that allowed him to outwork his peers. For years, athletes—including Wilson—have adopted the same mindset and applied it to their own craft.
Similarly to Bryant, Wilson is the ultimate leader and is capable of putting his team on his back when he needs to. In addition, Wilson is an extremely competitive player that will do anything to help his team win. That is something that Bryant did for 20 seasons with the Lakers.
As a result, Bryant was able to win five NBA Championships and was an 18-time All-Star. Despite being in different sports, Wilson and Bryant are similar in a variety of ways. However, there is only one ‘Black Mamba' and that is Bryant.
Wilson was among the group of NFL players to share their emotions in accordance with the unforeseen death of Bryant. But by seeing the countless social media posts, it shows that Bryant's legacy will last forever.
