      Kobe's jersey number was Twenty-Four his Daughters jersey number was Two. 24+2=26. They died on January 26th. Kobe's last game was on 4/13/2016. 4+13+2+1+6=26. He was drafted 13th his Daughter Gigi was 13yrs old. 13+13=26. Kobe was 41 when he died. In Kobe's last game he subbed out with 4.1 seconds left on the game clock. The helicopter he died in took off at 9:06am and it crashed at 9:47am. The helicopter was only in the air for 41 minutes. Kobe died on January 26th guess who's birthday is exactly 41 days after Kobe's death? Shaquille O'Neal

    Kobe played in the generation wherein everyone knew that MJ was the greatest and everyone worked and aspired to be like MJ. That's the competition he faced.

    I love the stories about Kobe, he was very special and he had a way about that made you at ease with him. Kobe was a friend and a little brother that some of us wish we had but didn't, he was such an amazing person, and I love to hear all the stories about him. The more you guys talk about him the more I began to appreciate him more because he was more than a Basketball player, he was a loving husband and a loving father, he always wanted to be the best verge of themselves. He always took his game to the next level. Kobe to me was a perfectionist, the way he played the game, his shots were textbook, his footwork man was like no other and till this day I have not seen any player as of yet that has the footwork like Kobe. He was such a fascinating person, larger than life to me, and to hear all these stories about him WARM MY HEART. Thank you guys for sharing and giving us a glimpse into Kobe the Legendary, visionary, #GirlDad, Story Teller, that we all knew and loved. KOBE THE GREATEST PLAYER IN THE NBA, HIS FACE WAS THE ONLY ONE THAT WAS KNOWN ALL THE WORLD. WE LOVE YOU KOBE!

    Damn the camaraderie and respect that these players had for and with Kobe isn't something you see in the league anymore. It's crazy how much of a mentor Kobe was to the players in the league while he was playing and after he retired.

    Im gonna raise my son in a way that Kobe approves. One day he’ll be great at whatever he’s doing and he’ll thank me for teaching and pushing him towards greatness , and in that moment i’ll let him know that he really needs to thank Kobe.

    I think the thing about Kobe is that the Mamba Mentality can be applied to anything you love. If you wanna be an artist, you should strive to be the best damn artist. If you wanna be a damn brick layer, why WOULDN’T you be the best damn brick layer out there? Kobe used each day he had on earth to become better at whatever he was doing than he was the day before. That’s something that anyone can strive for-just to IMPROVE.
    Even so, there’s never gonna be another Kobe. Not in a million years.

    I really miss Kobe. Not only was he in my second team, I understood the level that he played at the work he put in when nobody was around. And losing him and his daughter the way we did, will forever hurt. My daughter is a b-ball fanatic and we both were heartbroken to find out they’d died. Me, I was at home, 30 minutes later, I’m picking a crying 12 year old from b-ball practice as they just heard the news.

    I was on business travel once, and decided that instead of sleeping on hotel and taking the first flight home, I was gonna make my wife a surprise and take the late night flight so I could get home early to wake her up and help with the kids. I got home around 6am. Kobe was already there, all sweaty and with ice on his knees coming out of the shower, and I said "Kobe?! What are you doing here in my house this hour", wich he answered "I was pumping out to warm up, and will do another workoutt as soon I get my energy back" ... amazing how he outwork everybody, a true Angel among us

      The comparison on work ethic shouldn't be made. MJ didn't work as hard as you think.
      He gambled, drank and smoked too much.
