Excerpt from ‘“Kobe Bryant Was a Real Superhero!”: When NFL GOAT Tom Brady Remembered the Lakers Legend and His Best Quality’ article by Raahib Singh:
Just like Kobe, Tom Brady was another sporting legend who transcended beyond the boundaries of his own sport. Brady just finished playing his 23rd season in the NFL at the age of 45. He’s inspired not only millions of people worldwide, but also the best athletes in the world, including LeBron James.
In September 2020, nearly eight months after Kobe’s death, Tampa Bay Buccaneers put out a video with Tom Brady talking about Mamba’s legacy.
“He had the energy to recognize in others what they could not recognize in themselves. I think that’s why I will miss him the most. Because we all know the world needs more leadership and positivity.”
“That’s what made Kobe a real superhero. He spoke about mentality with such conviction, about the idea that, if you truly believed in something you could achieve it… you could overcome the obstacles in your path. And not just that, he walked the walk and did the work. He pushed others to find that same confidence. He was the real life superhero our world needs.”
It is clear that Kobe’s death impacted Brady a lot, and made him introspect. Right after the Lakers legend’s demise, Brady had also penned a message for him.

Excerpt from ‘I HAVE TO FULFILL THIS MANS PROPHECY: KOBE IS STILL INSPIRING KLAY THOMPSON’ article by Melissa Rohlin:
Thompson distinctly remembers how he first felt when the Lakers legend — who is considered the embodiment of a stone-cold killer on the court — used those words to describe him and Steph Curry after an ESPN reporter asked him which players have a Kobe-like instinct in 2016.
I was elated, Thompson told FOX Sports earlier this month. I was just really excited because I just really idolized him growing up, especially growing up down there [in Orange County]. Everything I try to do on a basketball court, I try to emulate him. I just really loved his work ethic and style of play. For him to say that just made me feel really good about myself.
A few years later, Bryants words went from being highly flattering to becoming a crucial motivational tool.
Before Thompson did painful rehab exercises, hed watch that video. Before hed lift weights, hed watch that video. When he was overcome by mental anguish, hed watch that video.
When asked recently what those words meant to him, Thompson had a difficult time summing it up.
It means so much, its hard to even put into words, he said. Kobes not the guy who just hands out compliments like that, so, for me to gain his respect, it meant everything to me. It inspired me to keep going and never be satisfied, just like he was.
