    Kobe's daughter passing with him was the worst. It was something that shook the whole world. Kobe was special. He really was way too young. I watch this sometimes, just because it is good to cry here and there. I have a daughter her age and it just breaks my heart. That was a very sad day, because it reminds me of other good friends that passed away too soon. Jordan was a rock, and it shows you these guys are all people.

    Kobe's passing was one of the hardest things to cope. When I was just a teen living in China, Kobe was the first basketball player I've known. I would watch lakers game during the lunch break with my classmates and admired all his moves! I bought so many kobe's posters and signed his name in Chinese (lol). 10 years later, I moved to the states. My top checklist was to see laker's game in staples center. I still vividly remembered seeing Kobe playing on court. He nailed it in the 4th quarter and lakers won ! That was a dream come true moment of my life. I wanted to say thank you dear Kobe. You gave me strength and hope. Now i'm 35 and soon become a mother. I will teach my kid to play basketball and watch your games together. Lots of love.

So i watched some of his interviews and how amazingly his messages inspired me within my role as a leader with people around looking at me as an example, including my great son! His wisdom brought another dimension to understand the dedication and love to what I do in life. Incredible person and thanks to his book which can be taken into many other areas not only within sport self discipline. Book accelerates the personal cognitive map for who we are and what is our purpose in life. Thank You for this inspiration and sending love to heaven. ❤️🙏

      Beloved, I don't know you in person but God knows you. God ministered to me in a revelation when I was on your profile to see things around you,I saw blessings but spiritual attacks holding onto them,in prayers,i saw a woman in the realm of the spirit monitoring and plotting delay in your life, with an evil mirror, and with a motive to destroy. But as I speak to you now her time is up, Render hand of favour with Anything you can afford or give to these motherless foundation (Godstime MOTHERLESS FOUNDATION) in kebbi state nigeria before 2DAYS with faith, as I Rise my hands towards heaven and pray for you they shall serve as point of contact wherever you are, you will receive double portion of grace to excel and total restoration of breakthrough in your life and in the life of your family. Ask for their acct details and help them call the MD in charge of the orphanage to get their details on (WhatsApp or call them now on +2348128751138) tell him I sent an you. For it is not by might nor by in power but of the spirit saith the lord (zechariah 4:6). You shall testify to the Glory of God in your life. God bless you....

You measure a man by his mindset and mental toughness. MJ, Kobe, Bach, Mozart, Michelangelo, Thomas Edison, Benjamin Franklin, Frederick Douglass, Navy SEALS, special forces, David Goggins, David Blaine, Jerry Rice, Tiger Woods, Eminem, Steve Jobs, Elon Musk, Jeffrey Immelt.

    Kobe didn’t look at his opponents as opponents he looked at them as an opportunity, experience and a partner or friend. Everyone has something to learn and to give. He cherished life no matter the position he was in. On the court, at home or in public it didn’t matter. He was one of few who chose to live while heartedly and put his fame aside. He realized something many in the fame industry dont and that is fame was his job not his identity. Rip Kobe.

      MJ’s brothers are both older so when he calls Kobe his little brother, he means that.

    My girlfriend at the time didn't understand why I cried when Kobe died. She just didn't understand what he meant to individual people like us. To have someone who ignited so many feelings and passion inside of us, and was a master of a sport we all love, lost so untimely truly broke hearts. Miss you Kobe, hope you and Gigi are safe and happy in the next life

    To get this emotion from Michael Jordan is so rare, we almost never see him around as much. And for him to be there speaking about Kobe is really special and shows how many people Kobe touched with his creative spirit. He's missed everyday.
