The Kobe I knew


Everybody and their aunt mourns the loss of Kobe Bryant. As do I.
I know one person who went from being a Kobe fan, to being inspired, against all odds to be part of the NBA; first as a strength and conditioning coach, and now, more of the basketball-whisperer.
The Kobe fan did not live in the US.
He is there because Kobe inspired him.
Now, get this, this guy worked for the Lakers when Kobe was there. That is the power of influence.
Somebody from nowhere is somewhere today because Kobe Bryant played basketball.
That is true inspiration.
