Upon waking I noticed I had several messages from several friends ranging last night to this a.m. about Kobe Bryant. I hadn’t heard anything as I went to bed early last night. As a kid I grew up going to basketball games, loved talking trash and playing ball. The 1st jersey I loved was my Magic Johnson one. That love started diminishing through the years as the game seemed more commercial and less about the game itself. While not a huge fan of the Lakers, I am a fan of hard work, giving back and kindness and Kobe Bryant seemed to embody these and other characteristics. My hope, heart and prayers are with his family, friends and fans who appreciated his talent and his personage. And my hope, heart and prayers are with all of us to value life. If there was something we loved and let go, maybe consider initiating a reprisal of that if it was a good thing to and for you🖤
