Rip Bryants

cry Calabasas
the ball was dropped way too high
dad and daughter hug
the photographs still alive
potential punctuated

wonderful tribute... his death hits hard in my area, he grew up around here, my son and his best friend (who i consider another son) actually played basketball against him in high school... hugs

We have a friend who played basketball with his father and has a picture of his son and Kobe when they were one year old. We live in this world together. Such a sad time for all the families.

A very hard loss. We need to all live our life, never taking it for granted. No fame, youth, nor talent keeps us from destiny. Be blessed, my friend!
