MINI MOMENTS FEATURE: Kobe Bryant
'We can always kind of be average and do what’s normal. I’m not in this to do what’s normal.'' - Kobe Bryant (1978-2020]
Hey how’s it going, welcome back to the R Collectors Club newsletter.
In today’s edition, we’re diving into two iconic moments of Kobe Bryant’s career—immortalized in KW’s latest Mini Moments collection.
As always, your thoughts and questions are welcome—feel free to reply to this email. We’d love to hear from you.
KOBE’S 5TH CHAMPIONSHIP: COLORS OF GREATNESS
KW is a massive Kobe fan, and with so many iconic photos of him to choose from, why this one?
For KW, it’s about capturing the electric atmosphere after Kobe’s 5th championship win. The confetti raining down, the crowd erupting, and Kobe standing tall in the midst of it all.
In this image, Kobe is elevated, almost larger than life, and KW saw this as the perfect representation of how people looked up to him—not just as a player but as a symbol of greatness.
To KW, this moment represented Kobe’s success, resilience, and drive that fans still admire today.
KOBE AND TEAM USA: WINNING IS BLACK AND WHITE
In contrast to the first piece, KW strips away all color, leaving a stark black-and-white portrayal of the Mamba Mentality.
It captures Kobe's relentless pursuit of victory, even running through his own friend and teammate, Pau Gasol, during the Olympics.
While KW usually limits himself to one Mini Moment per athlete, he knew Kobe had to be an exception.
With the flag waving behind him, the painting symbolizes how deeply America values its athletes and how Kobe transcended the sport to represent the nation. Kobe’s commitment to excellence and his "job’s not done" mentality made him a figure larger than basketball itself.
KW wanted to immortalize Kobe as someone who didn’t just carry the Lakers, but also carried the weight of a nation's hopes and dreams.
