Жыл бұрын

Boston Celtics superstar Jayson Tatum remembers idolizing Kobe Bryant as a kid and falling in love with Kobe’s playing style, which he says was like admiring art. Tatum gushes over Kobe’s obsession with basketball and says it helped him realize the sacrifices necessary to perform at an elite level. Later, Tatum remembers getting an unsolicited text from Kobe and later flying to L.A. to workout with him. We also hear how Tatum first learned of Kobe’s passing and the difficulties of accepting the harsh reality.

One of the days that I'll never forget as long as I live because I remember how depressed and despondent I got after finding out Kobe died. I felt like garbage the entire day, didn't wanna do anything or talk to anyone. Still sucks to know that he's not with us anymore, and also his daughter, who had her whole life in front of her still.

I couldn't and still can't believe that Kobe is gone. To me, it felt like he was going to live forever. Kobe was an icon. My entire high school years saw Kobe going to three straight finals. He was a huge reason why I grew to love the game of basketball.

@xonigga6684 Жыл бұрын

If you think about like the last goals Kobe had was how can He inspire others or the younger generations to come, with the passing of him, he did just that in not only young but everyone in the world, Kobe was truly a superhero, even if you don’t watch basketball, everyone knew of him, and his death impacted many in this world, and I hate that he’s gone and died like that but God needed him more I guess, sometimes we overlook the value of things until they’re gone.

You had ppl all over the county and Philly coming to see him!! And my cousin played them every year!! He was a god to me then!! And I'm from the same area as Kobe went to north Penn high school!! My cousin went to Norristown and upper Dublin!! And the time I've seen him I was a baby!! And he was like a god to me!!

But how?! It was his 25th day in a row doing that fateful helicopter ride (his daughter Gigi was only with him when she wasn’t in school) and when the helicopter took off, visibility was 4 miles with an overcast ceiling of a quarter mile. It wasn’t until 60 miles into the flight that the pilot encountered fog that reduced visibility to less than an inch which seemed like no big deal to him. So he underestimated it and the rest is history. Even nearly 3 years later, it still doesn’t quite feel real!
