My favorite memory of Kobe was just watching games when we were down by 10-15 going into the 4th. Kobe would check in and hit 1 shot, and he would almost ALWAYS bring us back in the game especially at home…the crowd would get so loud after that first bucket to cut it to 8 or so and later win the game…as a kid watching him he was really a superhero and felt so unbelievable imo.

[@fidelnenas8390]

@@remingtonporter1734 yet he was slowly reconciling with his dad. I’m sure their hurt is profound especially his fathers. But I feel Vanessa is disresptful to them cause no matter what animus or bad feelings without them there is no Kobe. Vanessa making the rounds like Kobe’s life didn’t start til she came in the picture. His parent nor his sisters deserve the freeze out that she is putting them through. No matter what she feels towards them she should at least give Kobe’s father the honor of speaking about his son she’s about riding the Kobe train by herself. I hope that none of her daughters do to her what she’s done to her own mother and his parents. No matter what you don’t ever cut out your parents from your life. Period.

He'll I think some ppl had their plain boarding but every1 was glued to the TV's cheering every time Lakers scored then the pacers made their comeback & tied it up at 103 it went silent. Then Lakers scored 6 unanswered points & every1 was hyped. When they stopped the pacers final flurry the whole terminal erupted. Strangers were high fiving & hugging grown men crying.
