Kobe was one of the most intelligent athletes to ever walk this earth. My memories of him are nothing but special. When I first met Luka, the first thing I told him was, ‘Man, I knew you were going to be great because you got Kobe to leave the house just to watch you play.’ Kobe didn’t give his respect easily—you had to earn it. I think about him and Gigi every single day. 🖤🐍” Klay Thompson on Kobe & Gigi🐍❤🕊 #LukaDoncic #KlayThompson #kobe #mambaforever #mambamentality #ripkobe #kobe8 #kobe24 #bryant  #vanessabryant #gigi #basketball  #ballislife  #losangeleslakers #MambaMondays 💪🏽🐐 #thankyoukobe #blackmamba #mvp #nba #kobebryant  #lakersnation #mambacita #lalakers #nbahistory 🐍 #mambabasketball24 #legend 🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🐍♾️💜💛
