/hatch Mamba — A tiny basketball legend in a bright Lakers jersey dribbling with fierce determination.

Visual reference: bright yellow Lakers jersey with '24' on the front, black shorts, dribbling a basketball, focused expression, athletic build, sneakers, crowd in the background.

Unique traits: idle: dribbling the ball with a fierce gaze; wave: raises a fist triumphantly; jump: leaps with the ball overhead, legs spread wide; review: nods thoughtfully while holding the ball close.

Style: 192×208 chibi pixel art, classic Pokemon DS sprite, transparent background, big head small body, clean readable silhouette. Retain Mamba's iconic visual identifiers from the reference above.
Vibes: focused, heroic

Save as ~/.codex/pets/kobe/ (pet.json + spritesheet.webp).
