Kobe Bryant Had to Die
You said he was too young for the NBA. He became the youngest NBA All-Star Game starter in league history.
You said he would never be as good Michael Jordan. He won three championships by the time he was 24 years old. Michael won his first at age 28.
You said the three-peat was because of Shaq. He finished his career leaps and bounds ahead of Shaq’s dominant career.
You said it was because of his basketball genes and god-given talent. Google “Mamba Mentality.”
You said he was a bad teammate. Go watch his teammates talk about him now.
You said he was a rapist. Lol, #girldad
You said he wasn’t a leader. What say the generation of NBA players, athletes, and millions of other people around the world this week?
You said he wouldn’t be the same after he retired. Now everyone can’t stop talking about how his “second chapter” was bound to be better than his first.
Kobe Bryant had to die for you to fully understand and appreciate his greatness, his impact, his transcendence, his leadership, his heroism, his legend, his dedication to doing what we all aspire to be: the greatest version of ourselves.
What are you going to say, and do, now?
🐐
