Glen Kean directed an animated short in 2017 called "Dear Basketball" which was written and narrated by Kobe Bryant. I'm seriously kicking myself by not seeing this short before the news. I was planning on seeing this short sometime last week.

We’re hurting in Los Angeles. Everyone please keep his family in your prayers. I can only imagine what they’re going through.

RIP Kobe, one of his favorite places to go with his family was Disneyland, we will miss you.

 

[TragicMike]

Absolutely devastating news. This breaks my heart. I pray that the Byrant family has all the strength and support needed to grieve. Such a sad day.

Heard about it shortly after 2p our time.
I have never been an NBA fan, and have learned 100+ times more than I ever knew about him in the last coupla’ hours. And, dear Lord, the loss of his daughter too.
They are now saying there were 9 on board.
So very sad.
Prayers to all surviving family members, friends, and fans.

I will miss him, he was my idol growing up, such a huge part of my life. I will never forget seeing him at Disneyland after he won the 2009 NBA Championship, he will be missed, may he and his daughter find peace.

Saw Kobe Bryant at DCA last October. He was watching the Halloween parade with his family.

I’m choosing to ignore the negativity. @mickEblu I suggest you do the same.

You re right.

Did you see what Mark Cuban said? The Mavericks are retiring #24 and the rest of the NBA May follow.

Yes, I did! That decision made me very happy. Would love for the rest to follow.

Respect to Mark Cuban. For whatever reason, that was one of the things I read that touched me the most today.

Same here.

Have you seen the fans that continue to show up at Staples Center? One fan brought me to more tears. There’s so much love out there for Kobe.

Woah just like Jackie Robinson

Edit: they should do a Kobe day where everyone wears 24 too

Edit 2: Kobe’s numbers are the reverse of Jackie

 

[Mac Tonight]

Truly heartbreaking news.

Had the pleasure of sitting 2 rows behind Kobe at the Annie’s in 2018. Even sitting behind him you could sense how special he was.

RIP Mamba
