Sometimes it’s bigger than debates. On August 23rd, Kobe Bryant would’ve celebrated his 47th birthday. If you grew up in the 90s or 2000s, you couldn’t escape his greatness — whether you loved the Lakers or rooted against them, Kobe was must-watch every single night. One of the very few players you could fairly compare to MJ, not just in playstyle but in mentality. It still feels unreal that he, Gigi, and so many others were lost in that crash. Gigi would’ve been in her second year of college now, turning 20 next May. Instead of slander or endless comparisons, this is about remembering what Kobe meant — the work, the competitiveness, the inspiration. His legacy is still alive everywhere the game is played. #MambaForever #KobeBryant #NBA #MambaMentality #LakersNation #NBALegends #GigiBryant #WNBA #Sports #MambaOut
