"Through my coaching of girl's basketball in California's Central Valley, my daughter and I were fortunate enough to know Kobe as a mentor and coach, and a person who inspired my daughter to be the best through hard work, dedication, and passion. While Kobe will live on as one of the game's greatest athletes, he wanted to be remembered for much more than his championships and scoring records. It's clear that he's left a legacy greater than his legendary basketball career, and I thank him for inspiring me to strive for greatness while honoring what matters most in life."
