Nike's next Kobe 5 release combines 2010's "Big Stage" and Parade PE. These were obviously planned well before yesterday's tragic news. It's ok to celebrate the man. Wear your kicks. Yell KOBE! not when you made a shot, but because you tried 💜💛

1. One reason Kobe dying has hit people so hard - even people who didn't really care about basketball and who weren't huge Kobe fans - is that, in the simplest sense, his death drives home the truth of our own mortality and the essential randomness of life.
"Kobe Bryant is gone, and those are the hardest words I’ve ever had to write for this newspaper, and I still don’t believe them as I’m writing them," writes columnist @BillPlaschke.
"This can’t be true."

I will remember Kobe as a basketball legend,a father& a man. Watching him&Gigi share their relationship with us is something I won’t ever forget. My heart aches for his wife, children& family. I hope the waves of love being sent to his family can ease some of the pain they feel.
Kobe on Gianna: “The best thing that happens is when we go out and fans come up to me, and she'll be standing next to me ..
They’ll be like “you gotta have a boy, have soembody carry on the legacy... she’s like, “oh, I got this!”
I love you.
You broke color barriers, became a ring legend and trail blazed your way thru this world.
I was the boy sitting in the seats, watching and adoring you, my hero from afar.
The boy you raised to always… https://t.co/n67J7oGpWY
