I don't think I have ever heard of anyone who knew Kobe because he 'embodied values.' He played basketball well enough to be one of the top players. No one has ever mentioned him for any other reason.

He's known for the "Mamba mentality": his extreme belief in himself, insane work ethic, and near psychopathic drive to succeed.

That sounds toxic as hell.

I know him for being good at basketball

Perhaps among those who saw him playing basketball at a top level, there were some who cared anough about the game to take note of his approach, but if you went out and asked 10,000 random humans, 'do you know who Kobe Bryant is?' and 'What is he known for?' approximately zero who say yes to the first part are going to answer the second part with anything about his personality. Even people who are almost precisely famous because of their outlook, like motivational speakers, are still better known as speakers than for their particular outlook.

I thought he was expensive beef

I would have guessed someone in music maybe.

Nor did I, but I don't care much about celebrities except for that they often break the rule of reasonable law.

Reasonable being non-fascist, in this time.
