It’s surprising and unconventional
that a man
would played for the
same team since drafted
the only thing he
changed was his jersey
24 and 8 which was both
retired in the staple centre
as soon as his highly
set records were broken.
Mr. competition never
felt the need to be with
us anymore and we are
deeply saddened by this.

LOS ANGELES—didn't lead the to a win Friday night in their first game since Kobe Bryant's death. And
no matter. He did something bigger, and more lasting, and ultimately more important. He offered all of us
a path forward on a night that reminded us in beautiful and brutal detail not just what is lost but what we
have to hold on to as we move forward.
"Now," LeBron said before the game, having wiped away tears, "I know at some point we will have a memorial
for Kobe. But I look at this as a celebration tonight. This is a celebration of the 20 years of the
blood, the sweat, the tears, the broken-down body, the getting up, the sitting down, the everything. The
countless hours, the determination to be as great as he could be. Tonight, we celebrate the kid that came
here at 18 years of age, retired at 38 and became probably the best dad we've seen over the past three
years, man.” We are all hurt by this tragedy..
