Happy birthday, Kobe!

Happy birthday, Kob! It still sucks really, really hard knowing you’re not here with us anymore. You would’ve been super stoked watching LeBron, A.D., Kuz, and the rest of the Lakers finally play another playoff game again after seven years of drought.

The Aftermath: Remembering The Day Kobe Went Down

On this day a year ago, I was in my room watching the Lakers take on the Warriors as the two teams tried to secure favorable playoff berths in the ultra-competitive Western Conference. Everyone playing showed heart but no one showed it more than the Black Mamba, Kobe Bryant (as usual).
