DEAR KOBE!

When I invented this game – called “Basket-Ball.” It was to keep the boys busy during the cold hard New England winter months. It was to keep the young men from breaking everything in sight. It was not meant for anyone to get hurt or to be glorified when playing this game called “BASKET-BALL.”

But then you came along. Yes, in the past we had players get hurt and severely end their playing time because of injuries or something like that. Mr. Kobe Bryant changed that ever since his middle school counselor directed him to stop playing because basketball it will not help him.

Well, whoever you are, we thank you for imposing what changed what was created, and it was not playing the sport that I invented in Springfield’s YMCA on December 21st, 1891 @11:30 am.

What drove you, is what is in all of us but just your love, your passion, your dedication, and you take all of that and add a fierce dose of confidence and never-ending resilience and you reveal what ultimately made you who you were!

#THE#BLACKMAMBA!

The accolades are all over the record books but that is just part of who you was – Your love for life is why you will always be the one player, the one person, that STAR that outshines every star out in the city of stars!

You are that ANGEL that we all miss dearly every time we open our eyes and know that your life and your beautiful Daughter’s life – GiGi – alongside the rest of the families were taken way too early.

We will take all of what you shared with us in the limelight and make sure that we execute your dedication to help the world and leave it a better place than when we arrived. That was my most important objective, while here on this planet.

Consistently improving everything he could to make sure that education was passed along. Regardless if it was related to basketball or if it was making his beautiful family smile. Kobe always did it 100% never shortchanging anything he did to install the #BlackMambaMentalty is why you will never be forgotten!

Kobe, Charlotte’s loss was our gain!

Since you know that the world was against you in everything you wanted to explore, is why you knew that failure was not an option!

Kobe, this game will never be the same since your fast break to heaven!

We can’t express enough what WORLDWIDE impact you have on the game I created called “Basketball” but more effectively in this place we call home! We thank you from the bottom of our hearts and all the brothers, sisters, mothers, fathers, and all the ones that doubted you.

You did it! You unfortunately have surpassed all the greats in the one stat that you have all to yourself and that not being the youngest Los Angeles Laker to score over 30,000 points but the accolade we wish that you never earned!

#BLACKMAMBAOUT!

🔥 This Game Will Never Be the Same

Kobe, the world doubted you, but you never gave up.

Charlotte’s loss was LA’s gain.

And now, this game—the game I created—will never be the same since your fast break to heaven.

Your legacy will live forever.
