Junior Jackson Willard

I was downstairs in my house. I was about to walk out, and my phone buzzed. I thought [his death] was fake. Kobe was really young. I think he was 41. It was really heartbreaking when I found out that it was true. I saw different news feeds and twitter feeds. He had an impact on a lot of different people’s lives. I know he had three different foundations and a homeless person cause. He affected a lot of people and helped a lot of people. His basketball play was electric. [I will remember] his shooting. He shot a lot. He made a lot. He changed the game. [I will remember him as] more of a man, rather than a basketball player. I remember him for what he did off the court for his family and his causes, rather than on the court even though he was one of the greatest all time, both on and off the court.
