Every time I drove into work I would look to see if you were there. Just seeing your car made me want to go to work! The inspiration and fire you gave when you spoke to the team will always be remembered in my heart. Forever #mambamentality 💛💜 pic.twitter.com/RELtVYTrp3

“... leaders fail because they don’t have the bravery to touch that nerve or strike that chord. Throughout my years, I haven’t had that fear.”

Kobe was much more than his accomplishments on the court, but in how he challenged every task!
