Is Kobe Bryant the Devil or did he just make a deal with the Devil?
 
Kobe Bryant
Kobe Bryant scored 81 points in an NBA game this past season. Most people would say you would have to sell your soul to the devil to score 81 points in a single game. Perhaps Kobe did just that. Bryant scored the 81 points in his 666th regular season NBA game. Many people have viewed Kobe with devilish qualities since the charges of rape were made against him and the elbow he put into Mike Miller’s throat during a game.
It could be said that scoring 81 points in his 666th career NBA game is a mere coincidence. And I might normally agree, but I found another fact in doing research for this that was spooky.
Here is the link and post from a message board from three years ago about Kobe Bryant’s workout plan:
A couple of summers ago, Kobe Bryant transformed his body by adding muscle mass to his skinny frame. I was impressed with his results and got a copy of his self named “666 Routine.” The 666 routine stands for 6 hours a day, 6 days a week, 6 months of training. Of course most of us don’t have 6 hours a day to work out so I listed below his weight training regimen. His workout also includes 2 hours of running, 2 hours of basketball, and 1 hour of cardio (boxing, jump rope in Kobe’s case,) to go along with 1 hour of the exercises listed below…..
What sane minded human would call their workout regimen the “666 Routine”? I find that a bit spooky and weird at the same time. Kobe happens to be 6’6″ tall. He was drafted with the 13th pick in the 1996 draft which on first glace looks like the devil’s sign of ’666′.
The number 666 is the eighth number of the form n(n + 1)(n2 + n + 2) / 8 (doubly triangular numbers.) Kobe Bryant’s jersey number is #8. Next season it will be 24. 2+4=6. Simple math
The rare connections continue: The name Kobe is a Japanese word and is also the name of a city in Japan, as well as the name of a Japanese steak. I mention the Japan connection for this reason:
Similar to the Roman numeral occurrence, combining one of each of Japan’s coin currency yields 666 (500, 100, 50, 10, 5, 1).
People of all faiths have tried to avoid the dreaded “666″ for many years:
The number 666 retains a peculiar significance in the culture and psychology of Western societies. Just as many people try to avoid the “unlucky” number 13(a fear of which is called “triskaidekaphobia”), so people find ways to avoid the “Devil’s number”, even in contexts that would seem on first sight to be far removed from superstition. The fear of the number 666 is known as “Hexakosioihexekontahexaphobia”.
In the King James Version:
- Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred three score and six (666).
Kobe is not the devil. At best Kobe just traded his soul for the best jump shot in the game. So relax Kobe haters and lovers.
