The respect I have for you as a man, a competitor and a leader are unmatched. Although I didn't have a personal relationship with you, I watched the impact you had on the young greats coming behind you first hand. How you mentored them. How you challenged them. But you never hated on them as a generation. Only encouraged them to not settle for mediocrity but to push for greatness as you did everyday. You was a real Mans Man @kobebryant. I am blessed to have watched you all these years and shared the floor with u... My prayers go out to the Bryant family and the other families involved... #SIP

I had the honor to shake Kobe’s hand before my first ever NBA game. The man was a legend and that is a moment I will never forget. Prayers to his family and friends. Life is fragile.
