10 Things That Kobe Bryant Said & Believed In That Made Him An Unforgettable Legend Forever

Today marks the one-week death anniversary of Kobe Bryant and his 13-year-old daughter Gianna Bryant and it still feels unreal when someone says “Kobe Bryant is no more”.

Bryant was someone who looked like he was in control of whatever was happening around him. It almost felt as if he had the secret to making things happen the way he wanted it to. And to imagine him being in such a situation when he could not control his destiny and with his kid by her side, continues to give me goosebumps.

The league has been in mourning ever since the unfortunate incident took place.

Teams from all around the country took 8 and 24 second shot clock violations to pay their regards to the legend who donned the same numbers on his jersey throughout his 20-year-long career.

Led by LeBron James’ emotional by-heart speech, the Los Angeles Lakers had a beautiful farewell for Kobe, Gianna and the seven other people who lost their lives in the helicopter crash.

The Lakers even organised post-trauma counselling for their employees, people who shared the common work space with the ‘Black Mamba’ for over 20 years.

And you know what I got to realise after grieving the surprising loss of someone who had so much influence in my life for so many years? You can only get comfort over something so disheartening by remembering the lost by their best memories.

The man Bryant was, the way he used to live, the things he used to say, the principles he used to believe in, they defined him. They made him larger than life. They made him someone who was respected and loved by millions not only in the USA but all over the world.
