NBA legend Kobe Bryant died, aged 41, in a tragic helicopter crash in Calabasas, California on Sunday 26 January 2020.
Here are some quotes from the legend

"Everything negative - pressure, challenges - is all an opportunity for me to rise.
I don't want to be the next Michael Jordan, I only want to be Kobe Bryant.
I'll do whatever it takes to win games, whether it's sitting on a bench waving a towel, handing a cup of water to a teammate, or hitting the gamе-winning shot."

"These young guys are playing chеckers. I'm out there playing chess."

"My parents are my backbone. Still are. They're the only group that will support you if you score zero or you score 40.
There's been a lot of talk of me being a one-man show but that's simply not the case. We win games when I score 40 points and we've won when I score 10."
