'I HAVE TO FULFILL THIS MAN'S PROPHECY': KOBE IS STILL INSPIRING KLAY THOMPSON
Quote:
He wishes Bryant were around to see it. But more than anything, he wishes Bryant were here for his wife and daughters and his millions of fans around the world.
But even in Bryant's absence, Thompson has vowed to continue to try to make him proud.
"I just try to stay present every day because it's been going by so fast — my career, that is," he said. "I want to look back and say I gave it everything I had, just like Kobe did. I know Kobe can look back on his 20 years and say he maximized his potential. I want to do the same."
And whenever he falters, he still has that video of Bryant to keep him going.
To this day, he often re-watches his childhood hero calling him a stone-cold killer.
"I hold those words dear to my heart," he said. "I don't think we'll see another player like him ever again.
That's awesome man. I still remember him calling Steph and Klay, "stone-cold killers". He saw their greatness before a lot of people! _________________ THANK YOU KOBE 💜💛
"When people use the 'Mamba Mentality', you guys don't do that.You're not him. Nobody should be allowed to say that. I'm sorry. There is nobody there like him."When people say that, it bothers me and I'm like, I don't pretend like I do that, but I'm like, you don't get to say that. That's not a throwaway line ... I'm sorry, but that went with him. Come up with something else."
Bob Myers continued by highlighting the sheer degree of competitiveness and obsession associated with the phrase. While using Kobe Bryant as a prime example, Myers said:
"Not many guys want to take your will. A lot of guys want to beat you. Not many guys want to take your will and make it, so you know never to try that again."Like, how dare you try to beat me? How dare you think you're going to come out here and beat me?' but nobody lives like, that's what I'm saying. That is not normal." _________________ Kobe.

What the...
Do you know how many celebrities and politicians use a helicopter to travel? What other areas of Kobe's life was he "reckless?" _________________ Make the Lakers Great Again

You "love him" and then label him as reckless? Did you ever meet him? Did you know him? Do you know his daughters middle names? Did you ever have dinner with him? So many more questions could be posed simply to expose the fact that the only thing reckless is the ignorance of your post.

Did you know Kobe had the pilot shut off the engine and do barrel rolls/dives to prank passengers? Even Rob Pelinka was one of his victims and said he thought for sure he was gonna die. Kobe lost all fear of flying and considering fear is what keeps us alive, he was doomed to perish in that helicopter. I won't even mention other stuff he did that were reckless since you two would sue me for therapy. _________________ We love NIL (New & Improved Lakers!)

Something like that I'd never heard of, but if true I certainly would call that reckless, even foolish. So, if that happened, and you have other incidents of that nature, I retract my post, and agree it's reckless, and apologize.
