Recently, while everyone is concentrating on fighting the pneumonia epidemic, there is bad news that makes many people feel sad: On 26th local time in the United States, basketball superstar Kobe Bryant and his 13-year-old second daughter GiGi died in an accidental plane crash while flying in a helicopter. I believe whether you love basketball or not, you should have heard of Kobe Bryant, a great legend. He is one of the greatest players in NBA history. His black mamba spirit has inherited the strength of countless people, but things are impermanent. Now let's say goodbye to him with those familiar melodies.
Kobe once said, "Apart from basketball and my family, all I have left is music." Music is an indispensable and important part of Kobe's life. Maybe many people don't know that Kobe can play the piano. Her favorite classic song is Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata. Speaking of reasons, he said that because this song reminded him of love and pain, joy and fragility and strength, he also played this moonlight sonata in a short film. It's a pity that we will never hear him play this favorite song again.
Kobe has many fans, the biggest one is China, including Jay Chou, the king of golden songs, who is also one of his fans. In 211, Jay Chou and Kobe collaborated on a song called "The Battle between Heaven and Earth". In this song, Kobe has only a few lyrics, and they also made a MV for this song, which was once broadcast on CCTV 15. Kobe has always loved China fans. A few days ago, he specially recorded a video of New Year greetings to China fans, but he was such a warm idol and suddenly left us.
It was only four years since Kobe retired in 216. Most players choose to be team coaches after retiring. Unlike Kobe, he has made brilliant achievements in various fields. In 218, his short film "Dear Basketball" won the Oscar for Best Short Film. This short film also completely tells the legendary course of Kobe Bryant from a boy to a basketball superstar. In this short film, Kobe personally recorded the narration, which became the most precious voice he left behind.
In fact, few people know that Kobe used to be a singer. When his jersey number was No.8, he signed a contract with a music organization and released his first solo single "ok. b. e" in 2. There is a lyric in this song that goes like this: What am I living for? Basketball and music. So the importance of music in his life can be compared with that of basketball. Kobe was born in Philadelphia, a city with rich rap culture, so he joined a rap group in high school, so he couldn't think of a superstar on the court, but he was actually a street boy who loved rap.
In order to let more people hear Kobe's solo single, the agency specially invited Tara, a female model who was very popular at that time, and even asked her to sing the first part of the song, adding a lot of sweet ingredients to the song. At that time, this song did not get everyone's support, but attracted many bad comments. At the same time, Kobe's style in the album was also ridiculed. His mink coat was targeted by many people, implying that he didn't like animals. The song was taken off the shelf urgently, and Kobe also terminated his contract with the brokerage company, thus ending his career as a singer.
but there's something missing. Although Kobe's musical journey is over, he still got to know his wife Vanessa through music. In 1999, Vanessa thought she was a sophomore. At that time, she was a dancer. At that time, Kobe was recording K.O.B.E in the studio. They fell in love at first sight and succeeded in getting love.
For a long time, many people have talked about that Kobe Bryant and O 'Neill, opponents on the court, are musical boles. As early as 1998, they had already collaborated on a "3 X Drugs", which was included in O 'Neill's album. Kobe's performance in songs is excellent, which shows that he still has some musical talents. After he retired, a reporter asked him if he would continue his rap career. He shook his head again and again and said, "No! Absolutely not. "
Nevertheless, we still see music playing on many occasions. In 213, he came to China to record the program Let's Talk. In the program, he and the host Sa Beining cooperated in a rap, but the whole process was a little rap, and Kobe was only accompanied by B box.
He is not only a basketball superstar, but also a music boy. He is kind and enthusiastic. He did not hesitate to donate money in the Wenchuan earthquake, but he was such a perfect idol, but we will never see his smile again. Just after watching the news, Kobe's wife Vanessa fainted because she was so sad that her eldest daughter cried too much, which led to asthma. These news make every fan worry, just hope that the dead are gone and the living are strong.
In these familiar melodies, we always keep the memories of Kobe and youth in our hearts ...
See a sentence "Can we restart 22?" It would be a wonderful thing if it could be restarted in 22. However, it is impossible to start all over again. It is the most important thing to live in the present and cherish the people and things around you.
