Mamba Out

The Lakers' home games always start at 11:30 and end at 2:00. But it is clear that there is a class at 2:20, and I can't see the result. The Rockets played the first game of the Lakers' playoffs. My home was close to the school. I stayed at home and didn't want to leave. I rushed out after watching the game. Between classes, my classmates surrounded me, and I was a little bully for a while, telling them stories about the competition. The last game starts at 4:30. My dad won't let me watch it, and I'm pissed. When I woke up in the morning, I heard the sound of my father watching TV, so I sat quietly under the door and watched. When I was in elementary school, cctv5 often broadcasted Lakers games, but I hated the Lakers and eliminated the Rockets. Now, Kobe is gone, Yao Ming is the chairman, and the NBA is banned.

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
