Just this year, Kobe Bryant passed away in a helicopter accident. As Kobe’s good brother, LeBron James couldn’t hide his grief and posted a long message on social media. Wen mourns the memory of his good brother. Just on the Sunday morning before I returned to Los Angeles from Philadelphia, I called you and heard your voice. Never in a million years would I have imagined that that would be our last conversation. James said: "I'm not ready yet. I may never be ready, but I have to do it." I think I have to write something for this post, but every time I do, I just cry and think about you, my niece Gianna, and our friendship. ?And James also changed his social media avatar to a photo of Kobe and his second daughter Gianna, and posted multiple photos of himself and Kobe. ?I think there is a lot more to say, but I can’t say it, because I still can't accept this. My brother, I am truly heartbroken and devastated. Brother, I love you. ?
And James promised that he will continue to pass on the glory of Kobe. ?I promise, you mean too much to all of us, especially the Lakers. Moving forward is what I must shoulder. Responsibility, please give me the strength from heaven to witness all this. I am still here. ?
On July 30, Beijing time, James was interviewed by TNT Live Center reporter William Sam at Orlando Disney.
During the interview, James also told reporter William Sam, "At this time, I want to say to my good brother Kobe, the playoffs are about to begin, and I will go all out to do my best for Los Angeles." Add another championship trophy. ?
The arena is like a battlefield. Maybe they were once opponents in some sense, but opponents will also cherish each other, and heroes will cherish heroes.
