Ryan and I were in the same rookie class with big dreams in a big sport. Turns out we both have had long successful careers, a lot of laughs together, started families and even won some trophies. Yesterday was a reminder how dangerous racing can be. I’m so thankful he is okay.
He gave his knowledge, time, and talent to tutor so many at the youth level, collegiate level, & NBA & WNBA players. Words can’t express the impact that he had on the game of basketball. I know basketball fans all over the world will miss him, especially the City of Los Angeles.
A wife lost her husband. A mother lost her daughter. Sisters lost their sister. Parents lost their son. The world lost an icon.
This matters. Loss matters. Pain matters. Things we can’t have back matter.
Most of the bullshit we think matters, doesn’t.

This is one of those days everyone will remember where they were when we lost a legend. Kobe an amazing basketball player but even better husband, father, friend, MENTOR. It doesn’t seem real. My thoughts and prayers go out to all the victims and families.
Heartbroken at the passing of Mari Hulman George, who touched the lives of millions through her passion for auto racing, stewardship of IMS and decades of compassionate philanthropy.
Rest in peace, Mari. We love you and will miss you.
