I woke up at nine o'clock in the morning, turned on my phone, and saw a message from my friend: Kobe was dead. The word "death" is directly and dazzling, digging into people's brain like a knife and lingering. Death is happening every day, many times it is just a string of numbers, cold, like the recent epidemic, death is far away from us, but very close.
And this time it was Kobe who died.
I am not a fan of Kobe, and I have never been. In my craziest years as a fan, I hated him, hated his style, hated his style of play, hated his character. I don’t even go to Kobe, because I hate a person’s treatment, that is, indifference, not caring, not paying attention.
Kobe and the Lakers defeated the Celtics in seven games to win the championship. I was very unhappy. I didn't pay any attention to the NBA that summer. I'm not a Celtics fan. I just don't like Kobe very much. I believe many people have the same mentality as me. I was 20 years old that year, and I love and hate basketball.
In 2020, 10 years have passed, this winter is not too cold, but it is unforgettable. Because of the Morey incident, I have not paid attention to the NBA for a long time, and the basketball world on the other side of the ocean is gradually moving away from me. Because of the epidemic, people are hiding in their own dens and paying close attention to the development of the situation. At this time, Kobe appeared again, he always appeared as unreasonable, just like his shot, but it will always surprise you.
But this time, I would rather not marvel.
Can't remember when there was a change in Kobe, perhaps when he became less powerful? When he had to reconcile with the world, the world would understand him. Maybe it was after I walked into the society that I had a very different view of life, even with Kobe. Basketball is no longer a simple victory or defeat, but like life, it has become a glass of bitter wine.
Teacher Su Qun once said in a preface to a book that one of the reasons young people love basketball and the NBA is that they can see the ups and downs of a player’s career in just over ten years and witness his Growth, glory, decline, and end. This is the most real and moving reality show in the world, and Kobe must be the most dazzling star in this show.
His dazzling not only lies in his skills, but also in his character. People use a lot of negative or positive words to describe him, arrogant, paranoid, persistent, crazy, tenacious, etc., where negative words account for more. That's why so many people don't like Kobe. He is too sharp, like a knife, it hurts a lot of people.
In our Chinese social and cultural philosophy, the most important characteristic of a mature person is "smoothness". It is often said that society will wear away the corners of young people, and I don't know how many people have become smooth in touch. Smoothness is a common evaluation standard in our society. Only smoothness can adapt to the world, smoothness can cater to others, and smoothness can be said to roll. But is this process of grinding corners really necessary? Can a person survive only by being smooth?
In my growing environment, no one has told me how to live without smoothness, and if not smooth, can you survive. No one told me how to develop your personality, how independent your personality should be, how to achieve your goals. My parents told me to be humble, the teacher told me to be united, and the leaders told me to take care of the overall situation.
Then Kobe told me to do what you want and do your best. And proved by his actual actions, this is also possible.
In fact, he told me very early~EbookFREE.me~I just don't understand. Now I understand that all the words that describe Kobe are just superficial. The Mamba spirit that people often say has only one real meaning in my opinion: the pursuit of a true independent self. This is the most precious spiritual wealth Kobe has left to everyone who loves basketball.
Kobe is still dead. Death is very fair, and at the moment of the death of life, everything for the individual is lost. No matter how much honor, wealth, status, or much praise, nostalgia, and tears behind him, all turned into ashes and dust, and fell into the earth, dissipating in the years that can only be recalled.
Kobe is still alive, and the real death of a person is not the demise of the body, but is forgotten by everyone. Kobe will not be forgotten, whether you love him, hate him, or just appreciate him, he will be remembered. In this special date, if there are any hints Kobe has left to us, I think there are two points: First, cherish the present and cherish the loved ones around you, you don’t know which of the accident and tomorrow will come first. 2. Always pursue truth, independence, no blind obedience, no compromise, no surrender, and be a true self.
Mambaout.

Goodbye, Kobe.
