We want to start this post by firstly apologising for our absence. Ever since the news broke of Kobe Bryant's untimely passing alongside his beautiful and talented daughter Gianna and their 7 talented and amazing friends we felt almost consumed by grief. Of course we are aware that people pass everyday, we all will have to. Yet, the loss of a public figure who we have watched grow and ultimately become one of the best in their field is a very hard pill to swallow. You cannot help but think that he had that much more to give. But, we are left behind with phenomenal memories of a man who set out to become the best that he could be and while doing that, inspired millions.
You don't need to be a fan of Basketball to see what an impact he had. We stand with his wife Vanessa, his family and his millions of fans around the world who will always celebrate his greatness and what he did for so many. A loving father, husband. An Icon and a legend. We choose our Top 4 Quotes as a celebration of what Kobe brought to the world of Sport and Beyond. We want to thank him for being an inspiration and for most of all teaching us all to become the best that we can be and to never, ever settle.
