These Kobe stories are timeless. I can sit and listen to NBA players recite them all day. It just goes to show you the respect, love, and inspiration he had on every young player around the league. I know they all miss his wisdom and knowledge of the game.

Kobe being gone is such a rough subject for me, but hearing these legends of the game spit truth about how amazing it was to be around him. Not on the same team, not playing at all, just *around* him. Makes me tear up dawg.

[@infiniteuniverse9528]

It's been a while since I was able to watch video's about Kobe without crying and starting to tear up. I'm getting better with it, but still miss my guy and am still pissed about his senseless death.

Every one who played with are against KOBE always has kind words to say about him. How good he was and his worked out in the basketball courts early in the morning while everyone was sleep but KOBE. Who was practicing on the courts. By his self. KOBE wanted to win and he showed it by getting up early going ro the courts working on difference way to make the basket in the hoops. evert time I see these aids of KOBE It bring back memories of KOBE and how hard he worked on the basketball courts. R.I.P. KOBE

The Mamba Mentality is very Militaristic. Klay said 4:30am 4 mile run only brings back memories of running around the Airfield on Friday nights on post while other soldiers were out partying and drinking. Getting my 8-10 with a 7:30 pace meant that runners high was hittin' followed by a nice cool down and ice bath. A good meal and some great sleep. The best part was always since they knew I was that dedicated to physical training I could enjoy extra sleep while everyone else was freezing their balls off early mornings kinda like Klay said.

It's an unmerciful world we live in. Death is a part of life but when your heros die in a pedestrian way it makes you think,"what chance do I have?" In this age of everything being accessable on the internet, we see ghosts. Between documented war footage, cop body cams, and pop culture icons.... this world is a messy place full of loss and sadness.

[@josepht5331]

I was not a Kobe fan at all when he played. I respected him but didn’t like him. When he retired I missed him and when he died I cried. He demanded that type of respect for what he did for the game and I’m happy he was in the NBA, even if I couldn’t stand him. Like that mean big brother 😂
