Dear Kobe,
this is Silvan. I've been making videos about you since 2011. I've started following you in 2009.
Since that date, I'm not just a die hard Lakers Fan, I'm also a die hard Fan of you!
I never got the chance to meet you or watch you play live.. Quite hard if you're from Germany.
I've got your book, your jersey and nearly watched every game you participated in.
This is one of the most devastating days of my life and I will surely need some time to let that sink in.

From now on I try to keep your legacy alive for the upcoming generation. They need to know, that you're not just the best basketball player to ever play the game, they also need to know that you're an inspiration to every person on this planet.

I hope you and Gianna are in good hands. We know you will be watching all of us from up there.
Rest in Peace, Kobe Bryant and Gigi.
I love and miss you,

Silvan
