Kobe was never my favorite player or anything like that, but he was the most important player to me, because I want to model myself after him, i want to be remembered for my work and inspire other to work hard and change their view on life and the world, Kobe thought me to work HARD and be the best i can be, i am still bettering myself everyday and working more and more to achieve my goal. I love Kobe and will never forget him. I've cried pretty much every day since his death and am devastated, Kobe will forever live on in our hearts and minds. Kobe was and still is a rolemodel for EVERYONE, from the player he was, to being a parent, because he was an amazing one. Its just sad that so many generations will now have to grow up without being able to see kobe, just see his highlights. I love Kobe.. And I think we all love Kobe for what he represented.
