Now this one hurts.. this one hurts World wide.. Back in 2016 I gave respect to Kobe’s last game & incredible career with this message. It only seems fitting to share that same love, respect and admiration for his last day on this planet. May his & daughter Gianna’s soul, & everyone that was on board. Rest easy and may God wrap his extended arms of comfort around to the immediate family that is left behind forever.. Thank you @Kobebryant. Legends never die they gain wings. #24 - #24 Maximum respects👊🏽
