The Next Mamba May Be A Minnesota Golden Gopher
As Kobe’s farewell tour makes its final stops, there’s a logical next question to be asked: who will be the next Mamba? While Bryant may be the original, he shared with the social media world that he may have found another baller who has the same lethal #MambaBlood coursing through their veins, and she happens to reside almost 2,000 miles away in Minnesota: Rachel Banham
The University of Minnesota Golden Gophers star is one of the top prospects for April’s 2016 WNBA Draft and on Monday night dropped 35 points and sunk a game-winning three.
Rachel Banham scored 35 points for @GopherWBB tonight & none were bigger than the final three at the buzzer. https://t.co/Q4IpySC1VO

Kobe saw some of himself in Banham:
Clutch @rachelbanham15 not many players can side fade, let alone for a game winner #mambablood
