    You need inspiration in your life? Here’s inspiration for the rest of your life:

    “My brain, it cannot process failure. I will not process failure because if I sit there and have to face myself and tell myself “you’re a failure” I think that’s almost worse than death.” - Kobe Bean Bryant

    Vanessa and his daughters literally going through hell right now...

    It's incomprehensible... I'm more than just sad... I'm numb right now...

    Gigi and Kobe are gone... Just like that.

    If he couldn't afford a heli, he'd probably be alive... Money and all of its facets...

    I don’t think I’m gonna be able to watch games for a while, I’m having trouble processing this. Again, Kobe is bad enough, but Gianna too, it’s not right, it’s not fair, so much that will never be now. We get to see all these NBA greats in all the documentaries and at NBA events and they’re old men, and we celebrate them, and we will never get that with Kobe now, it’s too much. Kobe was also one of my last connections to my father who passed in 2004, one of the last things we enjoyed together was Kobe’s rise to greatness, I feel like I lost a little strand of connection there as well. Not trying to make this about me, but god damn, I’ve never felt like this about a “celeb” death.

    My whole household has been in tears all morning. Phones been ringing off the chain with extended family calling to check on my grandparents who are big Laker fans. This feels like family, because it is. Kobe was a staple in our household for decades. A legend we idolized and could bond together over witnessing his greatness. Gone but never forgotten. RIP to Kobe and Gigi, and the others on the helicopter. And most sincere condolences to Vanessa, the other children, and the rest of the family.

    This still doesn’t feel real. Alternating between waves of extreme sadness, celebration and joy over the memories of his greatness, and then mostly just numbness.

    Kobe was by far my favorite athlete of all time. I watched his entire career. He came into the league when I was in middle school and I still remember having debates with my friend at as to who was better: eddie jones or Kobe? He was apart of my childhood so it hits hard.

    Kobe was just on all their minds as LeBron passed him for scoring. I bet Kobe texted LeBron at least as well to congratulate him, and I know LeBron and Kobe have had a relationship at least since the ‘08 Olympics, the older guys knew him/played against him, the younger guys worked with him or idolized him, I can’t imagine the atmosphere with the team right now.

    I remember despising Kobe early on because he was clearly drafted to replace my favorite player, Eddie Jones. It didn't take long for Kobe to win me over, not necessarily because of his skill, but because of his work ethic and competitive spirit. When I think of basketball, I will always think first of Kobe Bryant.

    I'm only sad like this when I lose family, Kobe was like my family I never met.

    I can not stop bawling.
