Besides being a basketball legend, Kobe had an extremely likable character and he was always ready to help other people. Just a few days ago, he great Novak Djokovic disclosed the fact that Bryant was his mentor and always ready to give him advice especially during tough moments.
Naomi Osaka was also close to Kobe to post the following message on Twitter:
“Dear, Big bro
Hey…I don’t really know what to do so I’m writing you this letter.
Thank you for being you.
Thank you for inspiring people everywhere, you have no idea how many hearts you’ve touched. Thank you for for being so humble and not acting as big as you are. Thank you for caring and checking up on me after my hard losses. Thank you for randomly texting me, “You ok?”, cause you know how fucked up my head is sometimes. Thank you for teaching me so much in the short time I’ve been lucky enough to have known you.
Thank you for existing.
You will forever be my big bro/mentor/ inspiration. Love you.”
I can’t. pic.twitter.com/Vc3dJZztYS
