There was a few other female high school players he was mentoring too. I think it was poignant that they had Taurasi and Ionescu speak because the women’s game lost a huge advocate
Vic Damone. Jr

Don’t know if this is the right thread for this but just saw someone retweet it on my TL and wanted to share. Dude got off with some Bean bars
All facts. Thanks for the positive words.....gotta have that Mamba Mentality everyday
Jordan has always been my favorite player and I consider myself fairly knowledgeable about his history as a player.
With that being said, I took note of Jordan stating that “whether as a basketball player or a father, Kobe left nothing in the tank.”
Jordan goes on to say that Kobe inspired him, subtlety implying that Kobe inspired him to be a better dad.
We all know that during Jordan’s playing career, when he wasn’t on the court, he was almost always on the golf course or the casinos. Which probably meant that although he was a great provider, he wasn’t that good of a father —presence-wise.
I thought it was striking that Jordan mentioned his two twins and his grandchild. I have a feeling Jordan is going to be much more involved his second go-around as a parent — thanks to Kobe.
Believe it or not, that happens with very successful people, they have kids who they neglect during the height of their ultra success. Then they have kids later on and try to make amends for it.
I saw a Sylvester Stallone interview where he stated that during his first marriage, out of the first 20 years of his two sons lives, he spent a total of 5 years max with them. He went on to say that he would never make that mistake with his daughters from his current marriage - because time is something you can’t get back.
In his speech, Jordan alluded to helping Kobe to become a better basketball player, but Kobe helped Jordan to become a better person, a better father.

You mean this?
Thank you... I needed that.
Just feels like we would have see more of him during this time...

Action expresses priorities
I watched the tribute twice and played back Vanessa’s speech three times already and just waterworks. I don’t know where she found the strength today, but Kobe and GiGi deserved that amazing tribute, so I’m glad she organized it.

So Bron was actually there and got no face time when he’s the current face of the Lakers?
Probably asked for it or went to a suite so he could grieve in peace

Is this what you’re really thinking about during a time like this?
