Kobe Bryant, 2008: "Have a good time. Life is too short to get bogged down and be discouraged.
"You have to keep moving. You have to keep going. Put one foot in front of the other, smile and just keep on rolling.
My hero Kobe Bryant. I grew up watching you since I learned what basketball is. Not only myself but my family too. The happiness you brought us will never be forgotten. Thank you for all you have done for my family. As a player and my hero. #MambaForever
