Serena Williams' husband, Alexis Ohanian, recently took to Instagram Stories to repost a powerful message about love from the late Kobe Bryant.
In the video, Bryant was asked to name one quality that all great sportspeople possess. In response, he explained how one's love for their particular sport brings forth the desired levels of excellence.
"If you had to think of one quality that all the great ones have," began the interviewer.
"It's love, it's love, it's not rocket science to me man," Kobe Bryant began his answer. "The quality that we all share is that we love what we do. We absolutely love and it's a pure love. It's not the fame. It's not the money, it's not even the championships. It's loving what we do and we do it all the time. We study all the time and as a result the championships come."
Alexis Ohanian reposted the video, affirming his belief in Bryant's statement while also personally experiencing his wife Serena Williams' love and passion for tennis.
