Russell Westbrook and Kyrie Irving definitely have the "Mamba Mentality" but where do they rank on this list?

Devin Booker is another contender for having the Mamba Mentality. His 70-point game in March last year against the Boston Celtics is the highest since Kobe's 81 point game in 2006. His ability to create space for shots, driving to the basket and executing the pick-and-roll game reflects Kobe's game when he was in his prime.

There is no doubt that Booker watches Kobe's game films and tries to get the fullest of Kobe's mindsets during the game. Booker tries to implement Bryant's tactics to improve his game and after the 70-point game also, Booker had a shoutout to Bryant for his 70-point performance.
