Kobe was more than basketball. He was an icon. A legend. And you didn’t have to know him to have your life affected by him.

I know I’m being extra, but if you’re open to it— I’m doing a “Dear Kobe” tribute for fellow fans to see how Kobe really brought us together.

Send me a few words on how he affected your life— and I’ll put it up! DMs, replies, email, anything. Email: ambika@gangesgal.com #MambaForever
