LATE BASKETBALL LEGEND KOBE BRYANT ON AC MILAN
“I watched Milan play when I was a kid.”
Many people know Kobe Bryant for his exceptional basketball skills and devotion to the game. But he was much more than that. Something that not everyone knows, is that Kobe was also a soccer fan. In 1984, Kobe’s father moved the Bryant family from the US to Italy to play in the Italian league. Kobe spent most of his youth there and developed a love for both basketball and soccer. In Italy, he played basketball with men much older than him, and at the same time, he also played soccer.
The Bryant family lived in Reggio Calabria, then moved to Pistoia and Reggio Emilia. Although he was 151 km away from Milan, his favorite was AC Milan. Some of his favorite Milan players were; Ruud Gullit, Frank Rijkaard, Marco Van Basten, and Paolo Maldini. In more recent interviews, he admitted that Mario Balotelli was his favorite player in recent times. He even expressed his desire that the then 22-year-old Mario would become a great soccer player. Kobe also mentioned keeping a Milar shirt and scarf in his Lakers locker room.
A few years back, he visited Milanello when he was recovering from an Achilles injury, and said the following; “It’s an honor for me to be here. I have been a big fan of Milan since I was a kid and it was always a dream of mine to come to Milanello.” (via Daily Milan)

JASON TATUM REFLECTS ON THE FOURTH ANNIVERSARY OF KOBE BRYANT'S DEATH

There are so many questions that Jayson Tatum wishes he could have asked Los Angeles Lakers legend Kobe Bryant before he, his daughter Gianna, and seven others died in a helicopter accident four years ago Friday. And since Bryant’s death, the Boston Celtics star forward hasn’t been shy about reaching out to a mentor like NBA star LeBron James to acquire as much knowledge as possible.
“It is bittersweet. I can’t believe that he’s not here anymore. And the thing that I regret is I wish I would’ve called him more. I wish I would’ve texted him more,” Tatum told Andscape. “I just always thought he was so busy. I never wanted to bother him. We knew each other. He told me to text him, call him anytime. But I was almost scared. I can only imagine all the things he has going on. I don’t want to bother him. And obviously after what happened, I wish I would’ve reached out more. I had so many questions I wanted to know the answers to. I should have called him more and it taught me a lesson.
“Now I don’t hold back with older guys in the league now, like ’Bron. ’Bron is somebody that I text and call a lot, and it could be from basketball to how to take care of your body to business decisions off the court. People are willing to give you answers, you just have to ask.”
