Kobe and Gigi Bryant Memorial Thread (RIP)

[Trece]

Watching game 7 of the Lakers/C's finals. Just shaking my head..... Stu Scott, Dr. Buss, Kobe, Gigi and Stern all on the podium/stage. All are gone. Unbelievable.... this was what only 8 or 9 years ago.

That was one of the things I felt most when he died. Vanessa and the kids sacrificed and had to share Kobe with all of us, and when they finally get a chance to really be with him on some normal family shyt they only get a handful of years to enjoy that. shyt is foul.

maybe I'm reading too much into things but the direction this world is going is

still feels like a nightmare, like shyt is all falling apart

I copped Kobe’s Wizenard series for my nieces and nephews.

the newest one is titled Season One and the cover is orange and has the look and feel of a basketball

“It almost sounds cliché, but he’d say, ‘If one kid picks this book up and finds the faith in himself to persevere, we did our job … We’re doing this for that one kid,’” he said. “Kobe really believed that.”

THE POWER OF SPORT: WHEN KOBE AND DIDIER HELPED LIFT A BASKETBALL PLAYER OFF ROCK BOTTOM

Adam Morrison was an NBA player who represented the Charlotte Bobcats and later the Los Angeles Lakers, where Bryant was a team-mate. However, despite having been a third overall pick in the 2006 NBA draft, his career had not reached the heights he had hoped for.

Following his release by the Lakers in 2010, Morrison was left without a team. The Montana-born power forward takes up the story, which he recently told to the Rejecting the Screen podcast. It is sure to lift your spirits during these difficult times, and highlight the positive impact sport can have beyond the realms of the playing field.

‘I wasn’t playing and I was really depressed,’ says Morrison, casting his mind back to 2010.

‘I was basically a hermit in my own house. I didn’t go out in the community and when I did people asked ‘why aren’t you playing?’.

‘I was 26 at the time, a really low point in my life, and I got a text from Robert Lara. He was Lakers security and one of Kobe’s best friends. He said ‘hey, what’s your address, I’ve got something in the mail for you.’

‘I get the package, and it’s an autographed jersey from Didier Drogba. I’m a Chelsea fan and he’s my favourite player. It was from Kobe. A game-worn jersey, signed by Didier Drogba, ‘To Adam, Best Wishes’. I always thought Kobe made a phone call, which would be fine, still cool as anything, unbelievable.

‘The night he passed, I’m scrolling through, reading everything, emotional, and on Chelsea’s Instagram page, it’s him with Didier Drogba holding up a jersey that says ‘To Adam, Best Wishes’. So he went up to my favourite player, got it signed for me without me even asking, and sent it to me when he knew I was low. That is what Kobe Bryant was.’
