When Brady Smigiel, 13, captured a blurry selfie with his idol, Kobe Bryant, on Saturday at the Mamba Sports Academy, he didn't know it probably would be one of the last photos of the NBA legend alive.

quote:

Brady, who played in the Mamba Cup for Team Edge last weekend along with his twin brother, Beau, woke up thinking "Let's go see Kobe before our games," his mother Dionne Reich Smigiel told CNN.
"They are both obsessed with basketball and big fans of Kobe," she said. "Brady was writing to our 'family text' group all day."
"When we are in Newport Beach, Brady makes me drive by Kobe's gate just in hopes he might be driving out at the same time," Smigiel added.

quote:

"He said Kobe was 'mad they lost' and wouldn't take a pic but gave him knuckles," Smigiel said.

quote:

It turned out to be pretty blurry. "Kobe said, 'We'll get a better pic tomorrow,' " Smigiel said.

Was the picture better the next day?

The more I've learned about Kobe the last few days makes his passing all the more tragic. He was an intelligent man and was fluent in 3 languages. Although his life was cut short, he left more of an impact on the world than many of us ever will have.

Every passing is tragic. Koby's no more than a bus driver in Des Moine's passing.

Yes. I realize he was a big deal. It’s sad. Almost all death is sad.

What’s next? What was the last meal Kobe ate. What was his last drink? What was the last article of clothing he purchased? Last order on amazon?

And he also kicked off some #metoo shite before it was cool. Ahead of his time, this guy.

Is it ok to say it was probably over before they knew what happened. Read that the pilot ran right into the side of a Mountain with the fog.

Frickin Gen Z and their definition of blurry

They've never seen the 1st generation of cell phone cameras that had 10 pixels in the whole picture.
