Kobe Bryant
By: Cece Hymes
Kobe Bryant, also known as the “Black Mamba, was a professional basketball player for the Los Angeles Lakers of the NBA. Kobe played for the Lakers his entire career, winning five NBA championships and being named finals MVP in two of them. Kobe is and will always be a basketball legend. He was the ultimate girl dad.
Kobe won a lot of Awards being an MVP in basketball. He had a foundation and did a lot for the youth. He wrote poetry and he also wrote a book. Did you know that Kobe is the only player to have two jersey numbers retired by an NBA Franchise?
It’s been 3 years since Kobe and his daughter Gianna gained their wings. It was very sad. He inspired so many people all around the world. It was a tragic accident and we definitely want to keep our prayers up for his family. Here are some of my favorite quotes of Kobe:
· “Dedication makes dreams come true”
· “Once you know what failure feels like, determination chases success”
· “The most important thing is you must put everybody on notice that you’re here and you are real”
· “No matter how difficult the challenge is, always stay positive and believe in yourself
If you are ever in California, there is a bronze statue of Kobe and daughter Gianna. Make sure to check it out if you get a chance. Kobe left a big impact on the world. He was the goat in basketball and glad we have so many memories to remember him by. If you are someone who loves basketball, get his books and check him out, he worked very hard to get to where he was. Check out this poem by him.

Again prayers to all the families and friends that lost their loved ones. Stay strong and take it day by day. Remember the happy moments you’ve had with them.
