This is my entry to #POBphotocontest with the theme HEIGHT by @friendlymoose
When I hear the word height, I usually associate it with being on top of mountains or a tall building until I found this photO of me with Kobe Bryant's standee. What a huge height difference there. 😁. I wonder if this is the exact height of Kobe or is he even taller.
I am not an NBA fan really though I watch basketball from time to time but my friend was a huge fan of Kobe. I remember her talk so excitedly about how good Kobe plays basketball though I can't really relate much and how much she loves the number 8. She even played basketball during our sportsfest in college. That is how inspired she was. I took this photo in Ayala Mall in Cebu City to make my friend jealous for having a photo with her idol and it worked. [Lol] After a few months she really went to this exact place where she took photo with Kobe. Ah! Things we do out of love for someone who inspires us and made an impact in our life even without them knowing it.
Though there are negative issues that surround his name when he was alive, still we cannot deny the fact that Kobe Bryant has inspired many people specially those who love basketball. He is an icon. He is an inspiration. He inspired people to reach for greater 𝙝𝙚𝙞𝙜𝙝𝙩𝙨 for themselves. He may have short lived, but his legacy will live forever in the hearts of many many people.
