I think that the portrayal of Kobe by the article was positive. The text talks about how he broke some fingers on his shooting hand and so he had to practice taking shots with his left hand and how he took one hundred thousand shots. That points out how serious he takes his craft and how hard he's willing to work at being the best at what he does.
The text also brings out how Kobe wakes up at 5:30 in the morning to start working out. This is another point that the article makes in order to point out that Kobe is a very hard and serious worker. At the end of the article it talks about Kobe playing on the 2008 Olympics basketball team and how he scored 27 points and held an elite scorer to only 4 points. The over all reception that I got from the article is that Kobe is the best basketball player in the NBA and he works long and hard to be the best. The article also lets the reader know that Kobe has made mistakes, but he makes up for them. He's a family man, he's always with his wife and he loves his two daughters a lot.
