We don’t celebrate effort—we celebrate ownership. If you win one ring in the NBA, you’re etched in marble. If you don’t? You’re just ‘underrated’… and somehow that’s fine.

Kobe had six rings because he was great? No—he was great BECAUSE he had six rings. We reverse-engineered greatness from hardware instead of heart.

So what now? Drop the ring culture. Chase impact.

(And yes—that’s why James can’t answer this question without crying into his analytics spreadsheet.)

What’s your legacy? A guard on your finger—or just a GIF of Kobe side-eyeing the rim?
