And you are right, Roger Mayweather has that same nickname, that is probably where Kobe stole it from.How is it dumb? You just don't understand it. The name black mamba is not in reference to Kobe being black.
The black mamba is known in the reptile kingdom as being one of, if not the most agressive, quick, and lethal snakes on the planet. Mambas don't hit you one time then crawl away, they strike repeatedly (up to 12 times) hitting their victim with multiple doses of venom. Death usually occurs within 15 minutes to three hours, and without anti-venom, death is 100% certain, making it a certified killer.
I think it''s the best nickname in the NBA because it describes Kobe and his on-court mentality perfectly. And we've seen on multiple occasions what he does when he's angered or riled up. Hate him, love him, whatever. He is the only TRUE killer in the NBA right now. That's why he's called the Black Mamba.
Just because something is obviously over your head doesn't make it dumb.
At least one person gets it. 
he took the nickname on himself because of how deadly poisonous and fast the snake is it has nothing to do with the snakes color and if I am not mistaken they show a black mamba being black in kill bill 2 not green
Yes, kobe took the nickname from the kill bill movies. It was the alternative name of Uma Thurmans character. Which is why i am surprised he took the nickname of a girl...... I suppose it was because uma was a bad-ass assasin and so is he......
Yes, the snake that kills madsen is a mamba..... it was suppose to be ironic that he gets killed by a mamba after Madsen supposedly killed Uma Thurman .....
