Remembering Kobe

#24 always made it seem so easy

No lead was safe, anything could change

It never seemed fair — the best franchise with the best player

Win after win, game winner after winner

Breaking spirits, regardless if it was Portland, Sacramento, Phoenix, or San Antonio

It was frustrating, but now it’s just sad

From highlights to eulogies, from impact to legacy

No sunset ride, no gradual fade, this is pain

Kobe, you will be missed — not only for what you showed us, but for what could have been

Your spirit lives on any time someone focuses harder, pushes themselves, or leads by example

We may not understand you fully or find perfection, but we see your energy and intensity

And for that, we respect who you are and you will live on
