It’s still hard to believe that Bryant’s no longer on this planet, and it’s crazy to believe it’s already been a year since he perished with his daughter.
There are some sports moments you’ll always remember where you were when it happened.
Kobe Bryant dying feels like one of those moments. What a terribly heartbreaking day.

I remember exactly where I was when Kobe died. I was sitting on a recliner in my living room watching some TV when a buddy texted me that Kobe might be dead.
At first, I thought it was one of those hoax death reports that blows up social media. Unfortunately, it was very real.

Now, a year later, I still don’t really know what to say about the Los Angeles Lakers legend passing away. The man won five rings, dominated the league in front of an entire generation of young players watching on TV and he showed what it meant to have the Mamba Mentality.
