It's not goodbye.

It started with a 0.9s lore in the spring of 2005 and ended with a plane crash in the spring of 2020.

Fifteen years have passed in a flash, and before I know it, Kobe has been with me for half of my life.

Although it wasn't because of him that I liked basketball, he made me love and understand basketball more.

In a sense, all the blood of youth was poured into him and his team.

The ups and downs of winning and losing are the norm, and the important thing is the attitude of never admit defeat.

Somebody has to win, so why not be me? This sentence has had a tremendous impact on me, and has accompanied me through countless ups and downs and difficulties.

But how many science fans can move on this accident on the other side?

He should live to be 101 years old to be a real NBA living fossil, shouldn't he?

Never let go. Can never be reconciled.

Dear Basketball quotes

  • Kobe Bryant: Dear Basketball, from the moment I started rolling my dad's tube socks and shooting imaginary game-winning shots In the Great Western Forum, I knew one thing was real: I fell in love with you. A love so deep I gave you my all - from my mind & body to my spirit & soul. As a six-year-old boy, deeply in love with you, I never saw the end of the tunnel. I only saw myself running out of one. And so I ran. I ran up and down every court. After every loose ball for you. You asked for my hustle. I gave you my heart. Because it came with so much more. I played through the sweat and hurt. Not because challenge called me. But because YOU called me. I did everything for YOU. Because that's what you do. When someone makes you feel as alive as you've made me feel. You gave a six-year-old boy his Laker dream. And I'll always love you for it. But I can't love you obsessively for much longer. This season is all I have left to give. My heart can take the pounding. My mind can handle the grind. But my body knows it's time to say goodbye. And that's OK. I'm ready to let you go. I want you to know now. So we both can savor every moment we have left together. The good and the bad. We have given each other all that we have. And we both know, no matter what I do next, I'll always be that kid with the rolled up socks. Garbage can in the corner. :05 seconds on the clock. Ball in my hands. 5... 4... 3... 2... 1. Love you always, Kobe
