Imagine skipping class then your homie tells you Kobe pulled up

[trenellloc]

Many of us even kobe fans didnt know all the great things he was doing

"If you are afraid to fail, you are going to fail" - Kobe Bryant

[obitods]

The best mentality in the history of sports

*Shoots a paper ball in class*
"KOBE!"
Kobe: "Yeah?"

[ivangonzalez]

Such a humble person. Even with 5 Championships and millions of dollars he is self aware of the importance of education that can be applied in the real world. Truly a class act. He will be missed.

Doesn’t matter who you are it’s always awkward being the new kid in school, kobe gave off an cool cocky arrogance on the court but seemed so down to earth humble and approachable off the court, he just seemed like an awesome guy

Kobe was focused and had his priorities straight. For guy with all that money and fame you'd think taking classes would be the last thing on his mind. 🕊🙏 R.I.P

i still can't believe that this man is gone, i dunno but it feels like he's still here.

The beautiful thing about Kobe’s career is that you didn’t have to watch basketball to know who he was. The man *was a living legend. I don’t watch basketball, but I felt the impact his death had not only to the basketball community, but the sports community as a whole. It speaks volumes about the man he was and the legacy he led, he was a household name that you just knew. You’d always see replays of him showing off his pure athleticism all over TV and the internet, and as kids, many of us did simple little things like throw a crumpled up paper into the recycling bin and say “Kobe!” while we do it. It broke my heart to hear how he died and the the fact that it could have been prevented had the pilot grounded his flight beforehand. May he Rest In Peace, he will forever be remembered for his legendary status as an athlete, a father, and a inspiration to many

*(Since there’s a whole ass thermonuclear war going on in this thread about my usage of “living legend”, I’ve just fixed it to stop further argument, y’all can chill now)

Lol Kobe sat at the back, the cool Kid that everyone wana befriend 😂😂
RIP Mamba

[nikkiflaggaly]

Bless him. He still wanted to be even greater intellectually. Rest in eternal paradise

[InterstateStunna]

Man Kobe was rare, the rare ones always go first

[deiondavis]

You never realize how tall NBA players are until they get around regular people

[Jay_Hiro]

It doesn’t even feel like he’s gone for 1 second. Kobe is in everything we do. He left everything on the floor for us to pick up and learn after him, on and off the court. You can’t even be mad or sad he’s not playing this game anymore. He’s the true definition of someone who left a clear and concise blueprint behind. What a legend.

Not gonna lie if I became as rich as Kobe during his basketball career, furthering my education in a class room would of never been thought of, I commend Kobe

[omken]

It's like he never die, everytime i watch everything about him.. His spirit keep living. He is the chosen one

[RakibFiha]

Some guys are just good at everything. He was one of them.

[emil]

Imagine showing up to your 1st class hungover af, look around all droopy eyed, then turn around and just see Kobe Bryant sitting behind you.

This is what I always liked about Kobe Bryant the most. He is relentless desire to learn and grow. This is the part of his life that should be talked about, more so than basketball.
