This man's creative career was probably going to be even better than his basketball career.

Did anybody notice how the world fell apart after he left us.
@fredericfoe2456 4 years ago

The whole interview Max and Smith were trying to put him in the typical athlete box that misses the game, calls him the goat, comments on the current generation being soft and all those comments we expect former athletes to deliver, the man was like naah bro, I'm a storyteller, don't care about the goat and ranking thing, it's the inner satisfaction that matters. Man, Kobe was different!!

Kobe has this intimidating aura in him. He looks like a very intelligent man who could see right through my bullshit.

He was one of the if not the most intelligent and well spoken athlete.

We’re living in an alternate reality... there’s no way this man is gone.

I'm 50 and I cried like a baby for 3 weeks straight and still shed a tear when I see clips of this guy, I've gotten into plenty of fights behind #8#24 being better than MJ and I'm sticking to that rest up my man Kobe 4 Life

He was so content without playing basketball competitively anymore. Was locked in with his content creating and storytelling RIP Kobe 🙏🏾

If Kobe didn’t play in the NBA, I’m sure he would’ve still been famous. He is such a great speaker and has such a way with words. We truly lost a unique one, on and off the court.

3.5 years later I’m watching this video and all the emotions I felt back then resurface. Rest easy man.
