    I've never cried over a celebrity death, but this really felt like a piece of my childhood dying. I can't imagine how it feels for his friends and family. Rest in peace legend, I will always try to live my life with that mamba mentality

I’ve never cried like I cried today hit so close since he was my child hood, been a loyal Laker fan since 88 and I grew up watching Kobe I have so much memories and plenty of memories long live Kobe thanks for my childhood and thanks for the bond my son and my daughter have today!!!

    It reminds me of you
    Forever with the universe
    One love for eternity

    Kobe became my first basketball idol. He brought me into the game & being the first latino in my high school basketball team. I fought every year into my early thirties defending his tenacity and placement in history. As I got older I came to admire his mentality alot more than his game. Drove my x's crazy talking about kobe and my lakers. I am a big NBA fan thanks to him. I am a business man with similar aggressiveness thanks to idols like him. I wont forget the day Kobe came to Charlotte and I spent my months salary to be courtside rows behind him while holding a poster saying "Momma there goes that Man". Never again would i spend that amount on another sports game. But that was well worth it. Miss you already.
