Man I don’t even know where to start😭😭 I started playing ball because of KOBE after watching the 2010 finals. I had never watched ball before that and that finals was the turning point of my life. I WANTED TO BE LIKE KOBE. I’m so FREAKING SAD right now!!!!
RIP LEGEND

I’m heartbroken. Kobe Bryant had so much more to share with the world. It was amazing seeing him transition into his post-playing career. We were only seeing the start with films, TV, his book, and simply being a father to his four daughters. Awful he’s been robbed of more life. pic.twitter.com/3wJa8OMLH5

Kobe is considered one of the NBA’s all time greatest players, playing 20-season with the LA Lakers and ranked third for all time highest score.
The LA Lakers retired both of his jerseys, number 8 and 24, after he retired to make him the only NBA player to receive the honour.
