Legends are missed, but never forgotten. . I had the pleasure of calling Kobe Bryant my friend for 20 years. Nobody, and I mean nobody, worked harder and more passionately to be great, day in and day out. As a player, as a coach, as a mentor, as a husband and as a father. . On what would be his 42nd birthday, I ask that everyone please say a prayer for Vanessa and his family. . Love you, Kobe. 💜💛 . #MambaForever
