But if Kobe had been inducted during the 2019 off-season just like he should have, she wouldn’t have had to give this speech on his behalf and it would have made literally no difference. At least he would have made it to the third anniversary of his final game without ever even hinting at coming out of retirement.

Ur comment was stupid & pointless. If ur god believing which it appears u must be. It doesn’t change the truth of my statement that if there’s a god/lord he watches ...... has knowledge of etc etc, of that helicopter going down and did nothing about it ........ planes being hijacked & flown into the Twin Towers and did nothing .......... children being born everyday with cancers or other horrible diseases / children starving to death in Africa or other impoverished counties and does nothing. Are u suggesting ur god isn’t aware of these things ....... he isn’t watching all this shit unfold and does nothing???? Please 🙄🙄🙄....... stop wasting my time with ur stupidity.

[@moisemensah8233]

She's the prime example of poise, elegance and grace in the face of grief. Her fate, as unfortunate as it is, didn't make her budge. Ever since this horror unfolded, Vanessa displayed nothing more but gracefulness and dignity. Being a widower/widow that young is horrific and I can't even believe how it feels like to outlive a child even though I have friends and family members who went through both. My father outlived two kids. A friend of mine outlived his wife (who was a childhood friend of mine, she died from sepsis at 30) and third child at 31 last month. And they have that grace in common. Her sorrow may be palpable in her eyes but her will to live is as powerful. She has more courage that I'll ever have.

From a Basketball Career Standpoint, what more can you ask for? You idolized a player since you're a kid In your first matchup, you immediately got your idol's respect that he rarely gives to anyone else The comparison between you and your idol was immediately validated and well deserved. You got close to your idol personally Gave you some advice about the game, about everything. When you retired, you accomplished many things that not all players can achieve. Young players respected and looked up to you as their idol and a great mentor When you died, your idol sincerely did the Eulogy for you And finally, It's your idol who inducted you to the Hall Of Fame Enshrinement. What a complete Basketball Career but a very sad way to be gone from this planet. But still, you will be remembered by everyone you left, forever. RIP Black Mamba

When she spoke about him I got flashbacks of him & I just balled my eyes out because it was so true, because of you I will never give up, Kobe.

When they say that women are the strongest beings in the universe well its true. Vanessa's courage and strengths keep me going every single day in my life. Seven years ago, I lost my mother to stage IV breast cancer. It was the hardest thing I had to experience, then I lost my grandfather who was also a father figure to me 9 months after that. Well reality hit me hard. It affected my school, my life and everything else. At some point, I did not know what to do with my life because I was so lost, until I started to read Kobe quotes. These quotes are still my go to. I have a notebook full of them. Whenever I feel giving up on certain things I start repeating them one by one. When I learned that Kobe died with his daughter I was devastated and feel for his other daughters and his wife. I know what it feels like to lose parents. May God continue to give Vanessa strengths to endure those hard moments. God bless you Vanessa and your girls.
