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!
