dear basketball from the moment I

started rolling my dad's tube socks and

shooting imaginary game-winning shots in

the Great Western forum I knew one thing

was real I fell in love with you I love

so deep I gave you my all from a mind

and body to my spirit and soul

as a six-year-old boy deeply in love

with you I never saw at the end of the

tunnel

I only saw myself running out of one and

so I ran I ran up and down every Court

after every loose ball for you

you asked for my hustle I gave you my

heart because it came with so much more

I played through the sweat and hurt not

because challenge called me but because

you call me I did everything for you

because that's what you do when someone

makes you feel as alive as you made me

feel with the 30 pitch withdrawal and

Hornet collect collate Ryan from Lower

Merion High School

you gave a six-year-old boy his Laker

straight and I'll always love you for it

but I can't love you obsessively for

much longer this season is all I have

left to give my heart can take the

pounding my mind can handle the grind

but my body knows it's time to say

goodbye and that's okay I'm ready to let

go I want you to know now so we both can

see for every moment they have left

together for good and the bad we have

given each other all that we have

immortality for the old nine Los Angeles

Lakers and he's a purple and gold

coronation Kobe Bryant to me is the best

basketball play

the greatest plan to have

that's done it for all wearing purple

they go

Michael's got six become he's gone fine

thank you very much require we've

everything is the best player in the

game I wanted to be just like you know

he's out my Jordan original massive

screw just rushing when combined with

the best player

at the end of the date who rolled down

as the greatest basketball player

fattest devil

is the closest thing to Michael Jordan

since Michael Jordan

I scored in the

the 2008

- time

a sec sex card from our baby

and we both know or no matter what I do

next I'll always be that kid with the

rolled-up socks garbage can in the

corner five seconds on the clock

ball in my hand five four three two one

heroes come and go but legends are

forever
