Kobe Bryant

The Mamba Mentality, you taught us that. The gumption, the desire and the willingness to shoot for the stars. You had the type of talent and skill that transcended that plane that you occupied. Your work ethic and discipline is universal. I strive for that level of dedication. Every time I think of how those moments must’ve been like for you and Gianna…before the fire-ball explosion, wile the helicopter spun in the sky…I hope you were able to hold each other. To console each other and maybe even understand why.

Before the life lessons, you gave me hope. Something to strive for. A world of possibility lay ahead. Ripe for the picking. It was just a matter of deciding which path to proceed on, and then attack with an unwavering amount of devotion and dedication. Mamba out…but never forgotten. Always present.
