As a huge Lebron stan and the leader of the Lebron family, it saddens me to fully realize that Kobe's career is coming to an end.
Fellow Lebronites, let us put away our trivial differences with the Kobe family so that we may cherish what little times we have left with the Mamba.
I grew up watching Kobe play and he was indeed mesmerizing. When we were kids playing ball at the park, we all emulated Kobe's game and shouted KOBE everytime we took an ill-advised contested fadeaway. Too young to be captured by the Jordan era, I can safely admit that I grew up in the Kobe Era. I was not very old when Kobe won his first three rings, but I remember very vividly his individual dominance from 05-07 and then saw that translate into team success in 08-10.
As Kobe's NBA life comes to an end, I further come to appreciate some of his most desirable characteristics: other-worldly work ethic, endless determination and confidence, and pure alpha stage-presence.
The world would be a much better place if everyone took to their craft as Kobe did basketball. To me, Kobe is the personification of greatness.
Thank you for an amazing career and all the unforgettable memories you provided myself, my family members, and my friends.
My deepest respects for one of the ten best players to ever pick up a basketball.
My respects to the Kobe family.
