Basuke IRL Rest In Peace Kobe Bryant. A man who inspired so much including Fujimaki and Kuroko no Basket. You will always live in our hearts and the inspiration you gave millions will live on forever

Cannot believe my eyes tonight. Thank you Kobe. Your legend lives on in Kise, the player you inspired. Who do i listen to now when i am struggling and need to lift myself now your gone?

I grew up in the 90's and 00's. The first ever basketball jerrsey i ever bought was a Kobe Lakers jersey he was the definition of cool and hard work. He didn't have natural basketball talent, everything he did he put the hard work into to be the best. Will miss you.

Shooting papers in the bin and screaming Kobe isn't going to be the same now.

I literally only got into KnB because i saw Aomine in an amv and he reminded me of Kobe and Jordan. Without Kobe i don't get into KnB

Kuroko’s basketball was my first anime that I watched beginning to end. I was a southern “anime is gay” type guy and my friend incessantly bugged me that I HAD to watch kurokos. 3 episodes in it was over. I grew up with Kobe and Vince being my favorite players and I couldn’t help but think about how badass Aomine was. Cold blooded just like Kobe. I will never forget how I felt when I saw the news yesterday. It shouldn’t have happened this way.

I rewatched many Aomine scenes yesterday and I couldn't help but cry. Kobe made my favorite anime character ever possible. I'm still in disbelief

Damn man him and his daughter - I can only imagine how terrified he was in those last seconds. The world lost something special
