I know it's been a while since this happened, a month to be specific but as we all know, on 26th of January, Kobe Bryant, his daughter Giana Bryant, and seven other people has tragically passed away from a helicopter crash.

Honestly, is still hard to believe for me that he's not in this world with us anymore. Every time I saw him on social media posts, or hear his name being mentioned, I just have thoughts like 'oh, is Kobe, he's probably spending time with his family and living his best life right now'. But as another second goes by, I realize he was gone.

Is really hard, till this day. Because like a lot of people out there, whether you're a basketball player or not, athlete or non-athlete, he inspired all of us.

The first ever basketball game I ever watched when I was ten, on 17th January 2013 against the Miami Heat, despite their loss...

The very first basketball player and idol that I looked up to...

(Mind my mom's editing, it was five years ago lol)

I am grateful, and honored to be able to witness and have such a dedicated, toughed mentality and inspiring person a part of my life.

Despite that I never met or knew him, but I felt like I knew him and I never realized it until the day he passed.

He meant a lot to me, and I'm sure he meant a lot to you guys too, I can't imagine if Kobe was never around.

You will be missed, not just by me, but the entire world. So, I would like to pay a little tribute.
