A Celebration of Life for Kobe
&Gianna Bryant
#愛你的人都在但這次你沒來
上帝選擇了來自洛杉磯湖人隊的Kobe去天堂跟自己單挑,還有年輕的Gigi,她甚至11歲就掌握了LBJ才勉強做出的後仰跳投
「有一天,我去世了。
恨我的人,不再說話,愛我的人,眼淚如露。」
當地時間2月24號,也是Kobe 和Gigi 的球衣號碼
只要有人還記得他想念他就永遠不會消失。
在追悼會上,很多人哽咽,落淚,也有人用笑聲化解悲傷
其中最讓人動容的,是3個人的發言
一個是他的妻子/Vanessa
一個是他的偶像/Michael Jordan
一個是他的摯友/O'Neal
這三個人見證了Kobe 的一生,也送別了他最後的時刻
Vanessa:#讓你ㄧ生摯愛的人
你走後,我比你想象中要更堅強。
意外發生後幾小時,有媒體給Vanessa發消息,能不能刊登這個新聞,當時她正處在極度震驚和崩潰的邊緣,她剛失去了心愛的女兒和丈夫。
一個本是世界上最幸福的女人,永遠失去了她的世界
但這個堅強的妻子,還是很快回復消息:
「你們發佈新聞吧。」
我不敢想象這幾個字的背後她經歷了多大的煎熬與痛苦
追悼會上在發言前反復深呼吸了很多次,調整情緒
她哽咽著說,他是自己的靈魂伴侶。
他對我的愛是我無法表達的,他會為我做任何事
在Kobe 去世的前一天晚上他還帶著女兒去公園玩耍
他打算教女兒打籃球再往後帶全家人去環遊世界
「老公,你在天堂照顧好吉安娜。
我照顧好其他孩子,我們依然是最好的團隊。
願你們安息,#在天堂過得有趣直到我們再次相遇」
Babe, you take care of our Gigi. I got Nati, BiBi and KoKo, and we're still the best team. We love and miss you, Boo-Boo and Gigi. May you both rest in peace and have fun in heaven until we meet again one day.

Michael Jordan:#你一直在追逐的人
Vanessa講完後,緩緩走下台。
站在台階邊的喬丹,牽住了這個心碎女士的手
Kobe離去的痛,不可言說的遺憾,他們都懂
那一刻,強忍著淚水的Vanessa也哭了
可能她恍惚之間,看到了Kobe五六十歲的模樣……
「#你的偶像身上有你想成為的那個樣子。」
喬丹是籃球之神,也是是Kobe一生為之追逐的人
他離世之後,不輕易露面的喬丹也來了
剛開口就淚流滿面
「他是我的好朋友,他就像是我的小兄弟。」
喬丹說到動容之處,忍不住眼淚狂掉:
「當Kobe去世,我身體的一部分也死去了。」
When Kobe Bryant Died, a Piece of Me Died
這是一句多麼高的評價,他聽到了一定會很欣慰吧
他贏得了偶像的尊重,也把自己磨練成了一個更強大的人
#頂峰其實並不擁擠因為到達的人不多
他們才會如此惺惺相惜,是對手也是兄弟
每個人的一生中,都會遇到自己渴望變成的人
他可能是你的兄長,是你的上司
或者是你朋友圈里最亮眼的人
你把他視為標桿,想成為他,更想超越他。
你可能羨慕,恨過他,但最終你會離他越來越近
到後來再回首,你才發覺自己變成了更優秀的人
“I told my wife I wasn’t going to do this because I didn’t want to see this for another three or four years,” cracked Jordan, drawing a wave of laughter. “This is what Kobe Bryant does to you.”

O'Neal:#讓你又愛又恨的人
成熟了之後,我才學會跟你和解。
Kobe漫長的故事,奧尼爾是為他寫上序章的那個人
兩人攜手拿下3個冠軍,傲視群雄,不可一世
但奧尼爾不是別人,他是Kobe 的反面。
他天賦超群,但懶散嬉皮,跟Kobe 截然不同
兩個人逐漸有了分歧,爭吵,然後分開
互相敵視和辱罵,憋著一股勁要贏過對方
那時候他們還年輕,以為這就是恨
直到兩人都變老了,也成為了父親,開始懷念對方
那一年,歸隱的黑曼巴遇到早就退役的鯊魚
兩個人放下成見,坐下來談心:
「當年我搞砸過一些事情,我要向你道歉,」
Kobe則是大笑著,和他握手言和。
這對歡喜冤家早已冰釋前嫌。
追悼會上,奧尼爾用開玩笑的方式說著往事,自己卻淚流滿面:
「#永遠愛你直到我們再次相遇的那一刻。」
一個人什麼時候才算真正成熟?
看他如何對待敵人,對待和自己不一樣的人
那些歇斯底里過的才是大徹大悟的關係。
記得善待你身邊每一個重要的人
愛過也好,恨過也罷,有些誤會遲早會和解
瓦妮莎的哽咽,喬丹的落淚 奧尼爾的沈默
還有會場兩萬多人送別了Kobe 璀璨又傳奇的一生
英雄謝幕,生活還要繼續
我們的一生,其實也在不斷地遇見再不斷地告別
有人讓你懂了什麼叫做心動什麼叫做摯愛
有人讓你懂了你要為了什麼而追逐一生
有人讓你懊惱,讓你憤怒,最後再讓你鼻酸落淚
這就是人生啊
他們在塑造你的人生,也教會了你很多
讓你足以分辨愛恨,讓你活得有血有肉
喬丹最後說,我不介意我落淚的樣子成為表情包
「我迫不及待回到家中,成為一個女兒的父親,去擁抱他們,看看他們帶給我的愛、笑容,Kobe 教會了我這些。」
Kobe 追悼會的最後,有人用了一句話收尾:
「別忘記努力工作,擁抱你所愛的人,」
Mamba Out, Mamba Never Out.

[+Kareem Elwakil Those other posters shouldn't have insulted you to make their points, but I think your arguments are extremely weak. The only thing you bring up is that AI's career FG% was 42% and that he jacked up "30 shots" to get his points. His FG% was technically 42.5% for his career (Tracy McGrady's was 43% and Kobe Bryant's was 45%, which really isn't that much higher relatively speaking by the way) and a lot of AI's missed shots had to do with the team he was playing on and how their offense was structured, his role on the team as the only scorer, etc. but I won't get into that. AI averaged about 21 shots per game for his career, by the way. Hardly the 30 shots per game you tried to give him credit for. AI led the NBA in scoring 4 times, and out of those for times, only twice did he also lead the league in field goal attempts (and not by much - plus he averaged more free throws than everyone else) so the argument that "if anyone shot as much as AI did, they would score as much too" clearly is not the case. In his prime, Tracy McGrady averaged about 23 shots per game, Kobe Bryant also about 23 shots per game, and AI also about 23 shots per game. AI, Kobe, and Jordan all had a season where they shot the ball 27 times per game. Per 36 minutes, AI only averaged 19 shots per game for his career (keep in mind, AI played more minutes than anyone else each game during his era). Michael Jordan averaged 23 shots per game for his entire career. For his career, Jerry West averaged 20 shots per game and in his prime, it was about 22 shots per game. Before Lebron James got there, Dwayne Wade was averaging between 20 and 22 shots per game for a few seasons because he was the go-to option. You know what all of these players have in common with AI? They were all SHOOTING GUARDS and the go-to option! They were supposed to shoot! Some SGs are volume shooters who slash and get to the free throw line. Some of them have lower FG% but still are productive for their teams. Other SGs have a higher efficiency, but a player's FG% really depends on a number of factors you haven't even taken into consideration.
To reiterate this point, for most of AI's career, he was a SHOOTING GUARD. I hate when people compare him to point guards and then act like he was worse than them because he didn't play like a PG. It is ridiculous because it is like comparing apples with oranges. By the way, you brought up Jason Kidd and how he was so much "better" than AI. Did you know Jason Kidd's career FG% is 40%? He had 10 seasons where he shot below 40% for the season. AI only shot below 40% for 1.5 seasons and his career FG% is higher than J-Kidd's. J-Kidd averaged 12 PPG for his career and only 2.8 free throw attempts. AI averages about 27 PPG for his career. So just as you can say J-Kidd was a way better passer than AI, I can say AI was a way better scorer than J-Kidd. They had different roles and they excelled in their roles. Jason's job was to pass, and AI's job was to create shots.
It is a myth that AI was not a good passer. AI averaged 6.2 assists per game for his career. That is good for a SG - more than Kobe, more than MJ, more than Vince Carter, more than Tracy McGrady, more than Wade, etc. AI had about 5 or 6 seasons where he averaged between 7 and 8 assists per game while still scoring 26+ points. It is impressive. He had an entire season where he averaged 33 PPG and 7.4 APG with 2 steals on 45% shooting and a TS% of over 54%, and people like you try to say he was just "okay at best"? AI had a unique style, especially for his size and was probably one of the top 5 most exciting players to watch. To say he was not "that good" shows that you likely saw very few AI games. I would say AI is a top 20-30 player all-time. Anyone who actually saw, for example, his 2001 play-offs and regular season run, would know that he was amazing and did so much for that team and if someone looks at the stat box, they will not get the actual story. You had to have seen the games with your own eyes. With AI, stats have always been misleading. I also want to point out that AI's True Shooting % (TS%) is slightly higher than Isiah "Zeke" Thomas and is pretty decent (at about 52%). He had a couple of seasons in Denver where his TS% was almost 57%. TS% is a much more accurate depiction of someone's accuracy when shooting. You know why? Because it takes into account free throws among other factors. AI is one of the greatest players of all-time at getting to the free throw line, and unlike Lebron James and many others, he didn't flop to do it. He was legitimately fouled, hurt, and referees even admitted to conspiring against him and purposely not calling fouls on players who fouled him when they should have. Yet AI is still 10th all-time in free throws made. He was a slashing, fearless guard with incredible talent and an ability to create shots for himself that very few other players have been able to do. His style of play is more comparable to Kobe Bryant or Tracy McGrady (Kobe had a better career, but in AI's prime there were seasons where they were almost equally good). Yet he is 160 lbs. soaking wet so he is an anomoly because small players aren't supposed to be able to do what he does. The two years AI's shooting percentage was the lowest in Philly, he had just come off of a serious elbow surgery (2001-2002) and had played with a broken hand another season. You put so much emphasis on his accuracy those seasons, but what about his heart? How many players would play with the injuries he had? I guarantee you not many. Even while in Denver, Carmelo said AI was playing with a broken finger the entire season. In the 2001 play-offs by the end of the 2nd round, AI had 7 injuries (serious elbow bursitis, knee bursitis, dislocated shoulder, sprained thumb, hip pointer, bruised tailbown, and twisted ankle). Yet he played, and he played his heart out contributing to his team in other ways even when he couldn't find his shooting rhythm due to the pain he was in. I watched every game he played in back then (even taped them so I could immitate some of his moves since I played ball). I would know.
I am definitely convinced that anyone who claims Iverson was an "extremely poor shooter" either did not watch him play or knows a lot less about basketball than they think they know. AI was not a poor shooter. He took incredibly difficult shots - often times while double and triple teamed, and given that he was smaller than everyone else, it is incredible that he still made some of them. He was a shot creator. He was immensely creative. Larry Brown even used to sit on the sidelines and call out to AI to shoot the ball more and create shots. Even George Karl in Denver once told AI to shoot the ball more, stop being so UNSELFISH, and take over games the way he used to in Philly. Unfortunately the media doesn't like to talk about that. Not one of AI's teammates thought he was selfish. I have seen very few players who are as loved and respected by his former teammates and former peers as AI. The amount of love he gets from everyone from Dr. J, Maurice Cheeks, Moses Malone, Kobe Bryant, Lebron James, Dwayne Wade, Carmelo Anthony, Aaron McKie, Eric Snow, Theo Ratliff, Dikembe Mutombo, Chris Webber, Kyle Korver, Chris Paul, James Harden, Larry Brown, Paul Pierce, John Thompson, Andre Iguodala, Larry Hughes, Bill Walton, Rip Hamilton, Rasheed Wallace, Shawn Marion, Steve Nash, Dirk Nowitzki, Shaquille O'Neal, etc. etc. etc. I can go on and on. Many of these very players have called AI "pound for pound the greatest." I have seen very few players get so much love and adoration by their peers. I was at AI's jersey retirement and heard what so many players around the league past and present had to say about him and it was just insane. I also have never heard one of AI's former teammates call him a bad teammate. They loved him and loved playing with him. It is the media that tries to paint that picture, but his peers and former teammates paint a completely different picture.
What the media says is a myth. AI's former coaches and teammates and peers adore him. In 2001, AI had the most first place MVP votes in history (tied with Shaq) and became the smallest player to ever win the MVP award. You think he is overrated? I guarantee you the people who vote on MVP, the players, the coaching staff, etc. know far more about AI's contributions to the sport, how good he was, etc. than you do. He deserves what he got. Every accomplishment he achieved, he did it despite immense adversity. He is 7th All-Time in PPG, 4th All-Time in Minutes Played, 7th All-time in Steals, won 1st Team All-NBA multiple times... this man played with so much heart and believed in himself so much that you had to believe in him. This man is up there with MJ, Kobe, Wilt, and players of that caliber for most 40 and 50 point games in his career. I hate when people try to take away from his accomplishments rather than appreciating him for what he accomplished at his size and what he brought to the game. He is the reason I played basketball at all. He gave little people hope. He is a cultural icon. I really wish people would stop with the "AI is overrated" nonsense. If your peers think that highly of you to call you "pound for pound the greatest," then obviously you did something right. ]
