It’s only fitting that Kobe’s final tweet be one of positivity and love towards a fellow ballplayer.

Bryant had an enormous impact on those who watched him. Whether it was his “killer” mentality, insane work ethic, or wise words about life, he was a guy who inspired greatness and who seemed to always have the right thing to say.

And as the world looks back on his life, and tragic death, it’s his amazing legacy that will be on the hearts and minds of everyone who cared about him.
