Much respect

man..

Sitting here at work in denial still

I refuse to believe it

Why is it called rest in power instead of Rest In Peace

I don’t think imma change my avi any time soon

it hit me at first

but here i am.. it still really hasn't hit me. i don't accept it. i'm not crying or anything.. i just am in complete shock.

Seeing Kobe & Stern on draft night knowing they’d both be dead in 24 years, 25 days apart is so eerie

I watched his final game again last night and it helped me a lot. I’m still shocked & upset but i think I’ve finally accepted it. Only thing we can do now is make him proud

I pray one day we can all heal & not look back at Kobe’s legacy with sadness. I’d be amazed at his work ethic, accolades & drive but now I’m just upset. I hope we overcome that. I don’t want his death to be the first thing people talk about.

Kobe was such an eloquent speaker and he’d be able to calm & sway people with his vocabulary. If he just came back for a minute and told us it was all okay it’d mean the world

I can’t imagine a lifeless mamba man he was too strong

I just want to watch my Lakers play.

Friday is gonna be tough

That's how I'm feeling. Just want to see my team.

Even though it's going to hurt

Ima be real with y’all I don’t think we trade anyone

We re gonna ride with this team win or lose

You probably right. This group is gonna be hard to break up now

We can still sign someone tho?

Remember when Lakers went down 3-0 to the Mavs and Kobe said Lakers would become the first team to come back from that deficit?

And he made me believe that s***.

It always felt like he could accomplish the impossible. No other athlete has ever made me feel that way.
