step 1: read the poem down below
DEAR BASKETBALL KOBE BRYANT
1 Dear Basketball,
2 From the moment
3 I started rolling my dad’s tube socks
4 And shooting imaginary
5 Game-winning shots
6 In the Great Western Forum
7 I knew one thing was real:
8 I fell in love with you.
9 A love so deep I gave you my all —
10 From my mind & body
11 To my spirit & soul.
12 As a six-year-old boy
13 Deeply in love with you
14 I never saw the end of the tunnel.
15 I only saw myself
16 Running out of one.
17 And so I ran.
18 I ran up and down every court
19 After every loose ball for you.
20 You asked for my hustle
21 I gave you my heart
22 Because it came with so much more.
23 I played through the sweat and hurt
24 Not because challenge called me
25 But because YOU called me.
26 I did everything for YOU
27 Because that’s what you do
28 When someone makes you feel as
29 Alive as you’ve made me feel.
30 You gave a six-year-old boy his Laker dream
31 And I’ll always love you for it.
32 But I can’t love you obsessively for much longer.
33 This season is all I have left to give.
34 My heart can take the pounding
35 My mind can handle the grind
36 But my body knows it’s time to say goodbye.
37 And that’s OK.
38 I’m ready to let you go.
39 I want you to know now
40 So we both can savor every moment we have left together.
41 The good and the bad.
42 We have given each other
43 All that we have.
44 And we both know, no matter what I do next
45 I’ll always be that kid
46 With the rolled up socks
47 Garbage can in the corner
48 :05 seconds on the clock
49 Ball in my hands.
50 5 … 4 … 3 … 2 … 1
51 Love you always,
52 Kobe
