we lost a great one. he was a great family man too. i admire him for that. John salley famously tells the story when he worked for a few days to get Kobe to come out to a club in miami. Kobe never went out. he finally does go out with sallery and the women immediately flock to Kobe. 5 minutes later he said he was going back to the hotel to get some sleep because he had to train in the morning.

It was so beautiful and sad at the same time.. Watching these different videos, hearing stories, listening his interviews, you could see how proud and happy he was being a girl dad.. I dont have kids yet at age of 34 but can understand him a bit since always had a feeling i wanna have a baby girl.. Dont know why.. And then this is so sad because you start to realize.. Kobe will never again see his girls, never again will have a chance to see them grow.. Oh man.. And he was just getting started.. My Gosh, such a tragedy.. Life is so unfair. So so so sad.

It will 2 years in January. In Los Angeles people still mourn Kobe. Whenever I rock my Kobe gear I get a finger point with a nod, chest pound with tears, or they point out their own Kobe gear and they get a point with nod back. Los Angeles favorite son. No one represented Los Angeles better. Glitz and glamour of Hollywood but mamba mentality was the definition of the hard working blue collar side that makes up most of Los Angeles. Diana Taurasi reacted the way all of us Angelenos should and did. Childhood hero, adult role model, Los Angeles icon. Mamba Forever.
