This shot. This changed my life and completely altered the path I was on. It made me the monster I am competitively as far as business, sports, life. I'm forever grateful. Crazy ..but this truly was the shot heard round the world/
 



I'm broken.

Have we gotten any words from Fish and Pau? Caron? Luke? Stu? and James Worthy?

I don't know when I'll feel better man. Literally been rocking with Kobe for 75% of my life. Lost my pops last summer and now Kob. These 2 guys had the biggest influence on my character and mentality. My competitive drive. My fire. My will. And my pursuit of perfection in all things that I do. Now both gone. I feel like I'm missing a part of me.

Still have this from the only time I saw him play. I was in grad school at the time. Me and my boy drove the couple hours to Memphis. I still remember what I wore, where we ate who we talked to.....I heard from him for the first time in a year yesterday. He didn’t go to work. Neither did I. (I’ve been sick.) Kobe hit a 3 to win that one I think. I remember calling my best friend and telling him Kobe must’ve known we were in the building. :lol::lol: I remember letting my son stay up past his bedtime for kobe’s last game. He is the main reason I’m a big b-ball fan today. I imagine if he never hooped, I would’ve liked someone else and still fell in love with the game, but I don’t see it being the same. Legit thought I was too cool (for lack of a better word) to be as down as a was when someone I never met in person died. From games to interviews, he has provided us all with memories we’ll never forget. I’m still avoiding all the tributes. I’ll watch and read them all later. With that said, forgive me for bringing up old stuff 2 months from now.

R.I.P. to my favorite athlete of all time. Thanks for the memories.

Damn the NBA schedule is packed for the next week. Hoping there was a day where the schedule was light so most teams would be present for a Kobe memorial in LA.
 
The fact that Lebron & others on the team got to speak to Kobe after Lebrons achievement is really sticking with me. We already heard all the good stories about this teams chemistry, but a moment like this could only strengthen those bonds & inspire even more.

I think this team is gonna create some really special moments this year.

I'd say the worst is yet to come. My peace may be still here and there but I know there is so much more to come. We've yet to see his wife and children, which if they ever make a public statement, will be in total despair. Not to mention the memorial, the HOF induction and countless other tributes I surely know are going to rip me to the core. This is definitely going to be a process.
