Ballin' Like I'm Kobe

A few days go, the world experienced the greatest loss we've ever known

This is the deepest pain that life has ever shown

Wrapped within sadness
Trapped within madness
It's just hard to go on when you see
The reality of this tragedy

We lost a great legend and a prodigy
Tears are flowing, my emotions are getting the best of me
Doing my best not to cry
But can't find the strength to carry on for Kobe and Gigi

I dreamed of meeting you in person
I idolized your skills as player and how how you changed the game
Your killer instinct
Your tenacity
Your competitive nature
How you were such an elevator
Your mentality
Your personality
Your toughness
And how you were able to ride above adversity

Your passion
And how much explosiveness you had in your actions
You were always ready for next challenge
Even when it was bigger than you were

You inspired an entire generation
You gave my childhood meaning
I use to emulate your jump shots and tell your name
Honestly that hasn't changed
You taught a lot of life lessons
Through the sport you were born to play

And Gigi was a killer on the court just like you
I was definitely looking forward to seeing what she could do
I'm heartbroken that the world will never get the chance to...
I'm even more sad for your family, because they'll be moving through this life without you...

You were...
A leader
A provider
A protector
A legend
An icon
A family man
A great father
A great friend
A supportive person
A competitor
A genius
A warrior
A great mentor
A beautiful soul
An idoi

And I'm happy to say
That I'm lucky to have watched you
Be great
To be the legend that you were destined to be

And Gigi surely was going to follow those footsteps

My heart goes out also to the other families
Of the other loved ones that were lost in this catastrophe
If only this was just a dream
But now I'm just dealing with the pain

You were loved all over the globe Kobe...
Sometimes I wished I could ball like you Kobe....
