We grew up yelling “Kobe!” when shooting anything from paper balls into trash cans to actual basketballs into hoops. Kobe Bryant was the most iconic player in the game during my childhood. He’s one of the most iconic players of all time, period.
He inspired so many. RIP, Mamba.
I’m at the point in my life where a lot of my Facebook friends are getting married and changing their last name so now every time I go on Facebook I say “Who the hell is this?!...ohhh” multiple times.
