As you may know by now Kobe Bryant has announced he will retire at the end of this NBA year.
I knew it was coming but I am still sad that he won’t be playing anymore.
I have many Kobe moments from throughout his career, I shared those in my post called Kobe Bryant.
This post will be more of a thank you to Kobe.
Kobe!
Thank you for choosing the NBA as your career path.
Thank you for your competitive drive.
Thank you for your smile. You often smile when you are really happy or laugh.
Thank you for your heart. You leave everything you have on the court but also are a big help in the community.
Thank you for showing emotion and letting us into your world.
Thank you for the 5 championships. Each one being special.
Thank you for just being you. Without you I would not have fell in love with the purple and gold. Without you I would not have grown to love the assassin that was the black mamba. Without you I would not have been able to appreciate your athleticism.
I hope we get to meet but if not, just know I appreciate you dearly.
I know your family is just as proud of you as I am.
I wish you all the best in the next chapter of your career.
xoxo-Mariah B.
