1. I wish my husband was here to accept this incredible award. He and Gigi deserve to be here to witness this. Gigi would be so proud to watch her daddy get enshrined into the basketball Hall of Fame. I know Kobe is really looking forward to being here.
2. My husband and I were sitting at our kitchen island and he and I had a conversation about my mother and father-in-law attending tonight's enshrinement. I invited my mother and father-in-law to tonight's enshrinement to thank them for bringing one of themost amazing human beings into this world.
3. There will never be anyone like Kobe. Kobe was one of a kind. He was special. He was humble, off the court, but bigger (larger) than life. To all of our close friends and family that have been present for my girls and I, thank you.
4. I remember asking him why he couldn’t just sit a game out because he was hurting. He said, “What about the fans that saved upto watch me play just once?” He never forgot about his fans. If he could help it, he would play every minute of every game. He loved you all so much.
我希望我的丈夫能在这里接受这个非凡的奖项。他和吉吉应该在这里见证这一切。看着她的爸爸被载入篮球名人堂,吉吉会感到非常骄傲。我知道科比非常期待来到这里。
我丈夫和我曾坐在厨房的岛台边,他和我谈起了我婆婆和公公出席今晚的入选仪式这件事。我邀请了他们参加今晚的入选仪式,以感谢他们将最了不起的人之一带到这个世界。
永远不会再有像科比这样的人。科比是独一无二的。他很特别。在球场外,他很谦虚,但也很与众不同。所有为我和我的女儿们到场的亲朋好友和家人,谢谢你们。
我记得我问过他,为什么他不能因为自己受伤而坐着不打比赛。他说,“那些为了看我比赛而攒钱的球迷怎么办?”他从未忘记过他的球迷。如果他能忍得住的话,他愿意在每场比赛的每分钟中都打球。他非常爱你们。
