[@99alfailiwaqain51]

Peace To The Gods!!! Yes I used to live in Philly for a short while. That zip is Montgomery County. However, West Philly is literally only 2 blocks away. That’s it. West Philly is notorious for street shenanigans. North Philly is the worst and most vicious though. So even though Kobe lived in Lower Merion, all he had to do is walk like 2-3 blocks over to West Philly.

Hearing stories like this confirm why I love Kobe so much. Don't get me wrong, he was extremely talented physically and as a basketball player, but somehow I got the feeling that he is one of the very few athletes that truly got 100% out of their potential. And that will always impress me more than someone who is just naturally gifted and coasts on their talent.

Even though Kobe was taken from the World much sooner than expected, he accomplished everything he was put on Earth to do. His legacy will live on far beyond his years.

[@Daniel-we2jj]

What are you talking about he had a family and was doing other big things after retirement that's why they had to assassinate him

[@andrewanderson7912]

@Daniel-we2jj Yes he did have a family and no conspiracy theory here. Never have and still don't believe "they killed him" that's a bit ridiculous. I was simply saying he had a level of focus, discipline and desire that was extremely rare for anyone, world class athlete or not. That allowed him to accomplish so much that most will not ever be able to do in such a short time. It's not up to us how long we are above ground despite family, projects, accomplishments ect. He passed supporting his daughter and while supporting his sports academy.

[@ojames1983]

Kobe did NOT accomplish everything he was put on earth to do. That’s a backwards coping mechanism thing to say because dude had another 30-40 years to raise his children, be with his wife and loved ones, as well as keep leaving his mark on the world.

[@csa212]

[@QuestionEverything562]

For Kobe at that age to be thinking about that.... that's unique and very accelerated thinking. Growing up in a two parent household gives one an advantage over a single mother household child. The calming masculinity that a solid father brings into a house creates order and logic. That cannot be duplicated by a single mother. And we see that in LeBron James.

I’m from the hood, the old projects of Atlanta - Playing football at a high level got me exposure to people I would have never met. I met some dudes in the North Atlanta suburbs that was solid AF, That made me realize early in life it has nothin to do with where you from. It’s all about how you come. Kobe stood on his 10. I was like the only dude with both my parents at home in the projects . That played a big part in my success today. But them suburban dudes wasn’t no hoe, I remember playing dudes from my neighborhood and they were showing out, the burb boys was throwing blows right back, I laughed at my patna like I TOLD YALL 😂. I’m still friends with a few of them today. Expanding your surroundings is important, when my business got started it was the dudes from the burbs that help me launch it. Not the hood.
