1-26-2021 WE MISS Y O U #kobe . . I remember like it was yesterday. Waking up to ESPN’s SPORTSCENTER. LeBron James and The Los Angeles Lakers are on a road game in Kobe’s Hometown Philadelphia. It’s the middle of the third quarter with 7 minutes and 22 seconds. LeBron passes Kobe on the All-Time scoring list from 4th all-time to 3rd all-time with 33,644 Points. On Twitter Kobe Bryant’s last tweet “Continuing to move the game forward @KingJames. Much respect my brother.”💪🏽#33644. Then that early sunday morning, TMZ Breaking News. AT THAT VERY MOMENT THE WORLD 🌎 STOP!!!! I refreshed my iPhone and iWatch just to see if it was a joke or fake news. Every channel on TV had Calabasas, California skies filled with large black smoke and debris at the crash site. I was hurt and filled with a lot of emotion as water that tasted like salt kept dripping like a sink faucet from my blurry EyEz. Now 365 days later and it still doesn’t feel real. 2020 the year that CHANGED EVERYTHING! To be honest a lot has change since you, Gigi and seven other lives that were lost on that helicopter. Face masks 😷 are required everywhere, due to Coronavirus A Pandemic (COVID-19) Injustice killings with innocent unarmed black lives and out of the control law enforcement officers is still at an all-time high! The Capital was Invaded, Looted and Burglarized for hours! A former President has been impeachment twice. Good News “The Los Angeles Lakers won the 2020 NBA FINALS!! It’s official we are tied with the Boston Celtics for a total of 17 NBA Titles! For now. Until we capture that number 18! Mamba we have a New President Joe Biden, not to mention we have a First Female Vice President of color. "Kamala Harris” Big News you will join fellow NBA greats, Kevin Garnett, T-Mac, Paul Pierce, Tim Duncan. Just to name a few in the BASKETBALL Naismith Memorial Hall of Fame. You also are among the athletes like boxing 🥊 great Muhammad Ali, To receive a statue in the National Garden of American Heroes. 2021 a year later the world looks different down here Kobe! I wish we could turn back the hands 🙌 of time..⌚️ May the seven other souls of these angels rest forever peacefully!!!🥺 #GiannaBryant #gigi #24 #8 1-26-2020 I’m at a loss of words..
