    Hi Kobe Bryant was one of my most favorite NBA Super Star. Watching interviews of him inspired and motivated me to see the real inner beauty of myself. Kobe listen to my bible teaching airwave and he took time out of his busy schedule to study the bible. I can certainly say that he received Christ as his personal saviour . Kobe was a lovely and humble person. Everyone who knows him wanted to be drawn to him. He was my personal mentor and advisor. When am going through situations that I don't fully understand I can always call on him and when he gets through counselling me am blessed. He was a mentor to my two sons and they loved him. He taught them the game and beauty of basketball. He was me and my kids best friend. He teachers a person how to work and be the best that they can be in their work field. To his wife and kids I must say that y'all had a great and wonderful husband and dad. Vanessa I will not hide this from you. I admire your late husband strength and beauty as a great roll model. The bible says to speak the truth. I always pray to God to bless me and my 2 sons with a husband and father exactly like Kobe .To me I can't accept the feeling like he has passed. I still think of him and his daughter and the others like they are alive. To Gigi she is a beautiful girl I saw the pictures of how she cling to her family especially hee dad. I know that you and her sisters will miss her and their dad very much. Kobe and Gigi and the others. To me you will always be alive. My sympathy goes out to Kobes parents and siblings and the rest of his family especially the kids that he loved so much. Your love and dream also Gigi love will stay alive in my heart. With love from sweet P.

God bless his wife, his parents and millions that he positively impacted. Jordan is my all time player but he’s a asshole after basketball. Kobe has a genuine appreciation for second chances for helping your brother. Lebron is comfortable in his space. Rest easy Mamba

Kobe meant everything to me as a kid...They made my childhood so when Kobe died a piece of my childhood died. And it's not just nostalgia of my childhood. The reason it broke me down so bad is because I watched him as an adult as much as I did as a child. Not only old games but I watched every interview. My heart is still broken til this day

No matter how many guys come after him he will find a way to come out on top. Kobe is a tough cat to beat and he will not let anyone defeat him. Kobe knows his craft and he's well aware of how to express himself. So, talented, gifted, and a #Girl Dad! Kobe got it going on, he's the boss.

    It’s crazy how time flies. It really feels like seven or eight years ago that Kobe had came into the league in that Shaq had come to the Lakers. I remember Michael Jordan retiring and then the Lakers dominating for three years in a row. Feels like this era, the mid to thousands was just A few years ago and it really feels like that second great Lakers run with Kobe and Pau was just two years ago. When I started watching basketball Michael Jordan was already the man so I came into basketball with him established already. I can’t believe that Kobe‘s 20 year career came and went so fast. He is only a year older than me And I remember not knowing anything about him and just being excited that Shaquille O’Neal was on our team finally. However it didn’t take long at all for Kobe to show everyone that he was just as important to this team as Shaq . And I remember my best friend in the world taking me to a sports bar in downtown Raleigh so we could watch Kobe‘s last game as a Laker when he dropped 60 points. I will always consider myself in the other Laker fans of these 2000s some of the greatest sports fans of all time because we got to witness Kobe. Thank you so much for everything you gave us in all the hard work that you put in. There will never be a Nother Kobe Bryant and we will never forget you. Rest in peace to the great Kobe Bryant.

    Kobe Wanted his legacy to be about inspiring people to inspire other people to be the best version of themselves - that was the mamba mentality - so the best thing you can do to honor him in the aftermath of this unbearable tragedy is to find something that you’re passionate about and work as hard as you can so be great at it! And then do your best to be the inspiration for someone else. According to Kibe, this became his most important legacy, bc it would truly live on forever. That 6th ring became nothing more than jewelry once he realized that he had the power to change people’s lives OFF the court. His passion, dedication and work ethic that he exhibited in basketball was his way of life in everything. He was more than just the greatest b-ball player ever- he was the an even better human being! Let him live on in all of us! Let him be the inspiration you need to reach greatness and then pay it forward! Don’t let his death bring you down - let it lift u to your greatest version of yourself!!

    The Most important thing I ever heard Kobe Bryant say and I totally agree with him. When he was asked when did he realized he was going basically through this rough point in his life and how he handled it. Kobe Bryant said GOD is Great! It’s just that Simple! He said when you realize that He not only carry your Cross But when He carry you and your Cross. That’s the most Powerful Truth that Kobe Bryant could have learned. When he realized that Jesus Christ doesn’t just carry our Cross, He carry us too. Sometimes we all Pray and give our problems we can’t handle to GOD but at the same time we think we can handle other things ourselves. But NO, we need Jesus to take it all, I believe that’s how Kobe had the Strength to play through all The Physical Suffering he played through, because he knew The Power his Strength came from. He was my Greatest Player because He learned to Surrender it All to Jesus, the Son, of GOD. Keep His Legacy Alive 🥰🥰Cora Williams, Birmingham, Al
