As a little girl, my favourite thing to do was play basketball. I spent countless summer days on a court next to my house playing 21, around the world, 3-on-3, horse and other games. My second favourite thing to do was playing video games, specifically Kobe Bryant’s Courtside. I ALWAYS picked the Lakers. They were my absolute favourite team. Even being from Toronto and getting our shiny new team—The Toronto Raptors—didn’t stop me from cheering for the Lakers.
I started playing basketball for my school starting age 9. Kobe is who all of us kids looked up to. He is an inspiration, I grew up watching him dominate the sport he played with love and passion. To continue his legacy, I will remember his drive and work ethic and apply it to my own life. Long Live KBB, you’ll live on forever in our hearts and minds.
