TRIBUTE TO LATE KOBE BRYANT

It was a dream of mine to meet you one day and get my painting signed by you, Kobe. A farfetched dream I know, but not impossible- Mamba Mentality. But I refuse to believe you're gone. You reside in the hearts of millions of men and women who grew up watching you, aspiring to be like you in so many ways in life. You live in every jersey and shoe we have of yours. You live in every hopeful chant of "Kobe" whenever we shoot our shot. You live in my brother's wish to have a room dedicated solely to you and your iconic memories we built together. "If Kobe was playing, we knew we were going to win. He made the toughest shots look easy," said my brother while sharing his grief. And now, you will forever reside in my dream to share my art with the world. Kobe, I wish you could have seen me paint. This is my tribute to an icon who will forever remain a legend. This is for every Kobe fan in the world. This is for our superman. We love you, Kobe Bean Bryant. Rest In Peace.
