Kobe Bryant's high school teammates reflect on NBA star off the court

Kobe Bryant's former Lower Merion High School teammates reflect on the man he was off the court. Mark Weinberg was a senior on the Lower Merion High School basketball team when Kobe Bryant was a junior. That team did not win a state championship, and three months after that season ended, Kobe wrote in Weinberg's yearbook that he blames himself.

Kobe was my favorite athlete growing up & I’m from Boston. I was literally taking a nap when the tragedy happened. I couldn’t believe it

You can’t have a high school teammates story without Evan Monsky🙄

[johnathanfredo]

[lawsonetters]

Remember these words LEGENDS NEVER DIE they will live on forever the mamba mentality is just as true today and I think Kobe would want people to know that

That story about Kobe calling his former teammates before the state title game is special.

Yeah but kobe was did not poor his life in everything near and dear to him. He never contacted any of his high school teamate even a couple yrs after he went pro .kobe was all about him. Even when some of his teammates came to one of the lakers game for his high school thing they were having at the lakers . Kobe never took the time to go see and of his other teammates in the stadium. Sad
