Reading about Kobe’s death really jacked my spirit up today. Knowing his daughter died as well hurts even more. Philly gave him a lot of shyt back in the day, but everyone here loves Kobe and knows what he meant to the NBA and Lower Merion. RIP to him and Gianna.
He was my childhood hero, slightly after A.I. I’m currently living where he lived during his childhood, Kobe is like a god here in Reggio Emilia. Too soon, he was too brilliant for this world probably. One of his daughters being with him is the final Dagger on this shitty day.
I did not like when the Lakers stole the Finals away from the Kings back in the day in 2002 (can you tell I live in Sacramento yet?). But at the end of the day, I respected Kobe’s hustle. Very few can compare to how good he was. May God bless his family richly.
Yeah, it’s silly but the fact that AI is from VA too would make that hit me harder. Still remember him crossing up Jordan. I’m not even a Laker fan and this Kobe situation hurts and that was before I found out about his daugther. I still remember buying this back in the day.
