“We can always kind of be average and do what’s normal. I’m not in this to do what’s normal.” Kobe ByrantTwo years ago today
The great Kobe Bryant passed away
He understood what we are trying to teach
He preached it to all he could reach
Around the world people say “I learnt from him”
They saw rings but not the hours in the gym
They admired the drive and how hot the fire burned
But Kobe studied and applied his lessons learned
From Russell, Mike, and Jerry West
Learning his history, Kobe became his best.
“I want to learn how to become the best basketball player in the world. And if I’m going to learn that, I gotta learn from the best. Kids go to school to be doctors or lawyers, so forth and so on and that’s where they study. My place to study is from the best.” Kobe ByrantSincerely Yours,
