This day is always tough. I can’t believe it has been five years since that tragic accident. Even though Kobe Bryant is no longer with us, his impact is as strong as ever, as he continues to inspire people around the world who are either striving to become the best basketball players they can be or using his Mamba Mentality to better their lives in whatever they’re passionate about.
It’s still hard to fathom the fact that he’s gone, but he will NEVER be forgotten!
Rest easy, Mamba 🐍

Los Angeles Lakers rookie guard Quincy Olivari drills a three-pointer against the Portland Trail Blazers for his first NBA bucket.
“I hope it’s (the first) 3 points of 50,000. Dream big,” Olivari said.
Is it time for JJ Redick to get the Lakers rookie on the floor more this season?
