I'm so sad and stunned right now. In Staples Arena, where Kobe created so many memories for all of us, preparing to pay tribute to another brilliant man we lost too soon, Nipsey Hussle. Life can be so brutal and senseless sometimes. Hold on to your loved ones. We miss you, Kobe

Life is so fragile. Days like today remind me that we are here for such a short amount of time and the ones we touch and leave behind have only the memory of what we did with the fleeting time we had. Embrace those you love. Cherish the moment and make the most of every second.
