Her strength is matched. Others are dealing with the same thing and more. She is strong though.

Kobe’s speech would have been an epic one.

Miss you Bean.

Well earned and deserved.

Ah. I don't think I've ever watched a full HoF ceremony., Jordan's speech back in the day was the only one.

In terms of loss, yes others are dealing with the same. But they aren’t constantly being bombarded and reminded of that loss with murals all over LA, social media mentions, and being in the public spotlight with a lack of privacy. It takes enormous strength to have to do these speeches and have to constantly be reminded of that loss.

They played that tribute to Kobe and it was fabulous and yet so sad. I have no idea how Vanessa was able to go up there and speak after watching it. I would of been crying my eyes out.
