It still doesn’t feel real.
It still feels unfair. We never got Kobe later in his years just being a legend sitting court side and being at All Star Weekend.
Thank you Kobe.

Kobe Bryant NBA All-Star MVP trophy redesigned to honor late legend 
| Quote: | Artist Victor Solomon had an overwhelming task: redesign the Kobe Bryant NBA All-Star MVP Award trophy.
"It was impossibly daunting," Solomon told USA TODAY Sports. "I live here in L.A. and Kobe's impact I feel every day, and that would be a lot of pressure.
The stakes were really high because of that and honoring his legacy and his history with the All-Star Game and the league at large.
But you do what you do to tell the story that you feel will honor that legacy." |

That is pure gangster. Love this thread.
There is a great comment:
"all Kobe stories start with he dropped 40 on me". |

That was awesome. Thanks for sharing. Very rare when I come across a Kobe mix I haven't seen.

This hoodie design highlights Kobe’s 5 NBA Championship trophies on the upper left of the design.
The flipped 8 represents Kobe’s infinite influence on the game of basketball.
The roman numeral “XX IV” inside the 8 represents Kobe’s jersey number 24.
If you look closely you will also see a basketball to the inside of the 8 to the left.
The snake going through the 8 represents the Mamba Mentality.
If you look on the left outside the 8 you will see a grapevine representing Kobe’s love for wine.
The roses surrounding the design represent giving Kobe his flowers for for his influence on the game. |

I know ridiculous, but I shelled out the 60$ to buy this for my 12yr old. he wears it all the time. it looks really dope and the comments he gets are usually from adults who actually were fortunate enough to live through Kobe years. |

Remembering Kobe Bryant on the second anniversary of his death
https://www.tmz.com/2022/01/26/lamar-odom-gifted-kobe-gigi-bryant-chain-anniversary-death/?adid=social-twa
| Quote: | TMZ Sports has learned ... L.O. -- who played alongside Kobe from 2004-2011 and remained close friends with the Hall of Famer in retirement -- received the special tribute to the Mamba and Mambacita from his manager, Tonita B.
The finished product is a diamond chain and pendant featuring Kobe kissing Gigi on the head ... which was based off a famous picture of the two sitting courtside at a Laker game in 2019.
We're told the chain -- designed by Scoobie Da Jeweler -- is made of 25 carats of VS diamonds ... and the whole finished product is worth around $17,000.
The back of the piece features a special quote from Kobe ... which reads, "Rest at the end, not in the middle." |
Still a serious ripple in The Force... tears still come up
Tony Robbins  said something once about cheering for someone we see as Greater than ourselves.. "We see a part of ourselves in them." We are drawn to Kobe because Greatness is within each of us.. it is within everyone but he personified it for us.
Why share this here.. I just read one of the greatest pieces of ELI5 writing about "I am" and the power of Imagination. The Dhammapada says
"He who controls his mind I call a Charioteer the others are merely rein holders"
Kobe became The Black Mamba through using his mind to empower all his States/Goals and never doubting himself
Enjoy
