Quote of the Week
“Everything negative - pressure, challenges - are all an opportunity for me to rise”
Kobe Bryant
This week marked one year since Bryant, his daughter Gianna and the seven other people on board the helicopter were tragically killed in southern California.
“God rest his soul, God rest the soul of Gigi and the seven others that perished,” said Miami assistant coach and former NBA player Caron Butler, who was close with Bryant for years. “The legacy that he left, man, he did it all. He inspired. When you think about being better, embracing the storm, having the right mentality and perspective about life and always trying to be better, he embodied it all and that’s why his legacy will live forever.”
