Kobe’s last public appearance last month at the Staples Center for the Lakers game w/ daughter GiGi.
Unfortunately, yesterday 1/26/2020, 26 days in the year 2020; we have already lost an icon, a legend, and last but not least my idol. Kobe and his 13 y/o daughter “GiGi” was on a helicopter trip on their way to the Mamba Facility that Kobe had built back in 2018 for their basketball tournament. Unfortunately, the helicopter crashed in the hillside of Calabasas, CA.
Growing up, I grew up a HUGE Lakers fan and of course a huge huge huge Kobe Bryant fan. I wore his jersey numbers to his shoes. Sometimes I had to save up all of my allowance just to get my hands on the most recent Nike Kobe sneakers out there… that’s how much I’ve looked up to him.
Kobe was known for being an amazing basketball player, but his work-ethic and perspective on life is what I admire about him the most,
Rest easy Mamba, you will be truly missed.
