Kobe was the perfect representation of Los Angeles. The glitz and glamor of Hollywood along with the grit and grind behind the scenes. My childhood hero, adult role model, hometown icon, one of Los Angeles’ favorite sons. Mamba Forever

GREATEST OF ALL TIME.

I will always remember his last game when he said the last words with every ounce of feeling and heart "I LOVE YOU GUYS" now that is a man that had true love and appreciation for Laker fans. Mamba for Life 🏆🟪🏆🟪🏆🟪🏆🟪🏆

Kobe was a huge part of my childhood I was born in 91 and grew up a Laker fan and huge Shaq fan I never thought losing Kobe would hurt this much I feel like a part of my childhood left when he passed RIP Bean.

Younger fans of the NBA don't really understand how good he was. They think all this love is because he's gone.

All these fans, ex teammates, Lakers greats, current Lakers, ex coaches, media, etc came out to support and show love. Wish I could have been there.

Kobe stood for what Los Angelenos, and every people who keeps getting up! No matter what the odds are? To keep fighting for what they believe, is for theirs for the taking. Not the most talented, but the one who works the hardest.

Longtime laker fan since showtime! I remember I would rush home to watch the lakers play on channel 9 just to see what Kobe was going to do in those games watching him play right before I would go out and play some ball and try to imitate his moves out there on the court He is and will always be an inspiration to all on the court and off the court to LA and everyone around the world!! Miss you Kobe Rip❤️🙏
