KOBE

Born in Philadelphia in the year of 78
The world of basketball was to witness a great 
The LA Lakers was where he plied his trade 
To the one team he only ever played 

Kobe Bryant was the man I'm talking about 
A legend of basketball there is no doubt 
So sad his life should end this way 
The world weeps as people have their say

A true gentleman on and off the court
Inspired a generation on how basketball is taught
Rest in peace Kobe and your daughter too
The world will never forget the likes of you
