香港時間2020年1月27日，亦即係一年前嘅早晨，一個消息直入耳內「Kobe Bryant因意外離世」。對於呢個消息，作為籃球迷嘅小編感到難以置信，足足呆了1分鐘? 我也不記得太清楚了...只知道自己不斷質疑這個消息，希望這個消息不是真的。

因為直升機失事，Kobe與佢嘅其中一名女兒，以及機上數名人士全部罹難，對於球迷已經係晴天霹靂，更難想像佢嘅家人究竟心情係點....

作為效力湖人隊20年「一生一球隊」嘅傳奇，Kobe一共為Lakers帶來5次總冠軍，當中包括一次三連冠及一次二連冠，就算曾經與佢不和嘅「巨無霸」O’neal亦絕對同意Kobe係最佳隊友，魅力沒法擋。

就算退役後，Kobe亦無離開籃球，佢開辦了屬於自己嘅體院學院，又製作過拎晒獎有關籃球嘅動畫短片，亦都出過有關籃球嘅書本。不過就算係咁成功，Kobe亦都無諗過停落黎，本來佢仲諗住推出屬於自己嘅個人籃球鞋品牌「Mamba」，但可惜....

一年後過去，Kobe離開我哋、離開籃球已成事實，無數球迷感到不捨，可能嚟到今日你都仲未接受到呢個事實，但人始終要踏前一步，話唔定Kobe今日已經喺天堂挑戰緊一眾傳奇，呢個何嚐唔係佢嘅夢想呢?
