Kobe Bryant, commovente ricordo di Oladipo: “Sentivo che il momento speciale con te stava arrivando”

È forse uno dei ricordi più commoventi quello di Victor Oladipo, stella degli Indiana Pacers, che su Instagram ha utilizzato parole molto toccanti per ricordare Kobe Bryant.

“Ho voluto prendermi queste ore per poter ricordare e celebrare te, Gigi e tutte le persone scomparse in questo incidente. Non mi sembra reale, vorrei fosse un sogno. Avevamo un rapporto che era appena iniziato, e le poche volte che ho parlato con te avevo la sensazione di conoscerti da anni. Sentivo che il mio momento speciale con te, da condividere con te, era dietro l’angolo. Un momento indimenticabile, che purtroppo non accadrà. Grazie per tutta la conoscenza e il tempo che mi hai trasmesso, in cui mi hai fatto crescere”, ha detto Oladipo.

It’s been about 24 hours since the accident and I just wanted to take these hours to mourn, grieve and celebrate you, Gigi, and everyone that was lost in this fatal accident. It honestly doesn’t seem real. I really want it to all to be a dream. So many feelings circling in my mind the past 24hrs and truthfully it’s been so hard to find the right words to say to honor you. We had a relationship and a growing friendship that had basically just started but after the few times we talked I sincerely felt like I had known you for years. It’s so tough to fathom because I felt like my special moment with you was around the corner, a moment I could cherish forever. Unfortunately that can’t happen now. Kobe thank you! Thank you for all the knowledge and time you took to help me grow. I know your time was precious but you still took the time to assist me and I will always be thankful for that. Thank you Gigi for being an inspiration to young woman everywhere. You helped show that no matter who you are or what sex you are that anyone, man or women, short or small, black or white, can all have the mamba mentality! Prayers up for Mr. Altobelli, his wife and daughter who where also on the flight and for everyone on the flight who didn’t get a chance to see their loved ones or see the sun rise this morning. My condolences and prayers to the Bryant family, the Altobelli family, and to all the families of the victims who have yet to be identified. Kobe I could go on and on about you my brother but thank you! Thank you for all you did not only for this game but what you have done for the world. You’ve touched so many lives even from afar. People who didn’t even know you loved you and respected what you stood for all over the world and that’s the true definition of greatness. You’re my hero, you’re our hero and your legacy will live on forever! I will never forget you, we will never forget you! R.I.P to the Artobellis. R.I.P to Sarah and Payton Chester. R.I.P to Christina Mauser. R.I.P to Ara Zobayan. R.I.P to the “Mambacita” Gianna Bryant and R.I.P to the Goat the Black Mamba himself Kobe Bean Bryant! #MambaForever ???? 1 John 2:17????? Bean
