Kobe, 41, and Gigi lost their lives in a fatal helicopter crash enroute to a youth basketball game.
Our thoughts and prayers remain with The Bryants and all of the families affected.
Kobe inspired and influenced 90% of the current players in the NBA. He’s still inspiration to 50% of players in every sports and was an mentor to players from the NBA, NFL, WNBA, NCAAW basketball and even pro soccer.
He participated in over 200 make a wishes for sick and dying kids, gave millons in charity, gave countless of his time and money towards kids camps, and was working hard on helping elevate female youth, college and pro basketball.
All that is nothing compared to the man, husband and father he had become. Would literally do anything for his girls which is why he started taking the helicopter to begin with. His simply didn’t wanna miss family time or taking and picking his girls up from school.
So no matter how the media try to tarnish his legacy with a bogus r*** case that was dropped us real fans, friends and his loved onc will be here to set the record straight.
Bogus, damn you are soo disrespectful to the victim, show her some respect the way you are Kobe.
