The Legacy Lives On #mambamentality

This photo was taken by me at the last Lakers vs. Raptors game that I got to watch when I lived in Toronto in 2013. I screamed "KOBEEEE!" when I was courtside and he gave me that head nod. I'll never forget that day. 

For as long as I could remember, I have always loved the game. The game of basketball was a huge part of my childhood growing up and when I was 12, I saved up my hard earned money to purchase my first jersey. It was oversized but I had to have it because it was Kobe Bryant. From Jerseys, rookie cards, shoes to memorabilia, I collected it all. He was my favourite player back then and still is to this day. If you’ve met me, you know my love for basketball and Kobe are for real. I just can’t talk about one without talking about the other and I’m heartbroken to hear the news today. Kobe, you left a legacy behind. A true NBA Legend and we’ll never forget it. I can’t count how many times I’ve screamed in real life watching a game or at the tv because of all the excitement. Thank you for everything you have contributed to the game and for showing us what determination, perseverance and hard work is. Gone too soon. Mamba out #thelegacyliveson #RIPKobeandGigi #gonetoosoon - My prayers go out to the Bryant family as well as the others who lost their loved ones in this tragic accident. The NBA and the world is shook from this loss.
