A day after passing Michael Jordan for the third spot on the all-time NBA scoring list, Kobe Bryant penned a brief essay for The Players’ Tribune on using his idol to drive him to greatness. There’s no love lost for the longtime Laker in these parts, but Bryant’s impact on the NBA is undeniable, and his essay ‘Zero’ offers a fascinating look into the mindset of an all-time great. Bryant opens the essay with a discussion of his age-12 season in Philadelphia’s Sonny Hill Future League in which he put up a donut for the summer. But after learning MJ was cut from his high school team, Bryant redoubled his efforts. “He used those emotions to fuel him, make him stronger, he didn’t quit,” Bryant writes.

One year later, when Jim Fouratt, Susan Hartnett, Claudio Badal and I started organizing the first New York Be In, I was vaguely aware that this “hippie” creature the newspapers and TV were starting to talk about was me. I had scraggly, unwashed long hair, and I’d recently started smoking marijuana, and I believed rock and roll would change the world. And now...this guy Fouratt had called me up when he read about me and Crawdaddy! in the Village Voice’s Scenes column and had invited me to a meeting at which Richard Alpert would describe the recent (1/1/ 67) San Francisco “Be-In,” and representatives of the NYC Parks Dept and the rest of us (representatives of “the community”) would discuss the possibility of doing something similar here. Gosh, ME a member of the “hip” community??
The record sold over 100,000 copies, establishing both the label and the rapper. This was the label's first long-playing release.
