Watch: Kobe Bryant’s powerful preseason dunk on Ben Wallace

Kobe Bryant was one of the best NBA players that’s ever played the game of basketball. He was also one of the most popular players the game has ever seen.

One of the reasons why Kobe became not only a winner but a popular star was his attitude on the court. This mentality was famously known as ‘The Mamba Mentality.’

Even as a young player, Kobe was not fearful. He was ready to attack any player who stood in his way. This includes a young Ben Wallace.

It was a preseason game between the Los Angeles Lak ers and the Washington Wizards. The game was played at the Mack Center in Las Vegas, and Kobe was ready to put on a show.

Kobe crossed over Jimmy Oliver and was met by future four-time Defensive Player of the Year winner Ben Wallace. On this play, Kobe would get the upper hand on Wallace.
